Photosynth (wow!)
Microsoft Reasearch has recently presented a new prototype for merging images from the same geographic location to create a 3D representation of a place. The product is called Photosynth and it was presented recently at SIGGRAPH 2006. The idea is to take multiple photos of an object, or a building taken from different angles, and combining them in 3D space by putting similar photos close to each other.
You can see another demo here (from University of Washington) on how to use Photosynth to explore a famous tourist attraction in Paris... (?!)

Web 2.0 killer apps
This is a recent report from CRN about the best online applications such as mail, calendar, editors, spreadsheets etc..
Most of them are really cool, especially collaborative tools, and an online operating system (youOS) in which you can add individual modules and XML feeds from lots of web services. You can also program your own modules and add them there.
Another remarkable company to look at is zoho.com, they have developed a family of office tools with very rich functionality. They look very pretty, I have to say, and they are absolutely free!

Google Web Toolkit
Yesterday I downloaded the Google Web Toolkit. It seems it has very rich functionality, and a nice set of examples from which you can start developing your own web applications.
I have found this forum very useful too. You can post any questions/suggestions about GWT. It seems very active.
For all of us who are familiar with developing Java GUIs I believe GWT is a good starting point to learn how to create web interfaces fast. Additionaly, you can have all your code in Java and don't care very much about compatibility issues between different browsers, since GWT claims it takes care of this part.
I would suggest those who read my blog (at this point, maybe 2 people at most) to try it out :)
