Wow, the lineup of great conferences coming up for the remainder of the year is mind-staggering. Someone pleeeeease send me to Pop!Tech. At least I get to go to Rubyconf 2005.

I have been very busy at work. The bad news about being so busy is that it put a hold on the Ruby and Semantic Web stuff that I was so excited about. However, the good news is that I'm getting some hardcore experience delivering a serious, production-ready Ruby on Rails application for a paying client. The experience is also triggering tons of new ideas.

In other news, my personal site is now ready at obiefernandez.com. The main reason to launch a new personal site was to have a stable home for my writings, starting with a new original article about Open vs. Closed World assumptions. I'm also detailing my ideas and experiments with JohnHenry, the new open-source project that I'm cooking up with Michael Granger. The project builds on the ideas in the open-world series of article, so definitely go check it out.
