Back in the saddle again

I want to thank FlashDan aka Vaadan for pointing out the lovely services available via Blogspot and Amazon's EC2 / Elastic Beanstalk. He's helped me find new motivation to get back into the blogging / demo scene.

I'm looking at using Blogspot to host these blog entries. If all goes well, I'll be hosting some example applications on the Amazon infrastructure. Currently, my primary focus has been with Vaadin for Java-based front-end development. Beyond Java solutions, I'm also hoping to spend some time looking at Javascript in the front end as well as some interesting Node.js solutions. Of those, meteor.js definitely looks like it may hold some features and capabilities of interest.
