Has it been a year? Actually, no, it's been eleven months since the last Moscone soiree. Eleven months ago, the eleventh JavaOne, eleven years in the standard solar cycle ... this year should be interesting for a lot of reasons. I will try to find eleven of them. So, is there anything in particular you would like to see this intrepid blogger cover at the J1 festivities this year? I can't make any promises ... but I will make a good faith effort.
