Gearing up for Google IO

May 6, 2010 - 8:49pm EDT

In a couple weeks, I'll be heading to San Francisco for the Google IO conference. Of particular interest to me is the talk on Appstats for Google App Engine by none other than the father of the Python language, Guido van Rossum.

I've personally done some tinkering with App Engine, and I have been supremely impressed with it. I've yet to produce any standalone apps worth mentioning with it, but I have contributed some work to an OpenID library for it and I like GAE more every time I work with it.

Of course, I also get to spend close to a week in SF (and out of the steadily worsening Houston summer weather), and hang out with my artist brother who happens to live in Frisco.

All in all, I'm pretty psyched :D
