Filed under Asides on May 31st, 2007 by Chris

Fresh from the Labs: Google Gears. Google takes a bold step in offering an application that will enable web applications to work offline. I can’t wait to see it in action…

Google Gears (BETA) is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using following JavaScript APIs: Store and serve application resources locally; Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database; Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness.

The Legend of Bo. I was a huge Bo Jackson fan growing up. This article reminded me as to why I liked him as much as I did: he was a great guy who did amazing things on the field, and never let it get to his head. (via Jeff Croft)

ColdFusion 8 Beta Released. One of our clients’ sites uses ColdFusion, so I think we’ll be grabbing this and installing it on a non-critical box… Hopefully the installer won’t muck things up like the Photoshop Beta did.

Chapter 35: It Takes a Village (Part 1 of 4)It’s Graphic Novel day once again! Chapter 35: It Takes a Village was posted to the official Heroes website today. This issue is part one of a four-part series. The graphic novel comes in two flavors: interactive or printable [PDF].

If you’re not familiar with the graphic novel, you should be! (You can read all of the past graphic novels here.) In most cases they pick up right where the television show leaves you and fill in additional back story between episodes.

A brief introduction to this week’s graphic novel after the jump.
