XML.com: Implementing the Atom Publishing Protocol
Joe Gregorio's latest Restful Web column implements the Atom Publishing Protocol as a Python web service using WSGI.
(This will be helpful to move jaxn.org over to Google App Engine. Instead of the Blogger or MetaWebLog API, I think I will implement the Atom API).

Manhattanhenge | Star-Struck Articles | Astronomy Resources | Hayden Planetarium
"These two days give you a photogenic view with half the Sun above and half the Sun below the horizon—on the grid. The day after May 29th (Friday, May 30th), and the day before July 12 (Friday, July 11) will also give you Manhattanhenge moments, but instead you will see the entire ball of the Sun on the horizon—on the grid. My personal preference is the half-Sun."

Pentaho First to Bring Business Intelligence Suite to iPhone
Pentaho has released a web based iPhone app. I will check it out, but it is too bad it is not an installed app; iPhone notifications are going to be THE killer feature for BI on the iPhone.

Introducing DataFabric
Data sharding in Rails. I have some custom code that does this, but I might rather use this.

camen design · A List Of People Who Need To Stop Writing Software
One of the things that is nice about using a Mac (and is more true for Linux) is that there isn't crapware installed.

Intel: an expensive many-core future is ahead of us
"Intel and AMD alike have been saying for several years that the days of "free" performance scaling from faster processors are behind us, and that future performance improvements will require software changes to take advantage of the abundance of cores. This clear message that software will need to be able to scale even onto huge numbers of cores isn't unexpected. But it is nonetheless unwelcome. Painful times are undoubtedly ahead."

PHP framework comparison benchmarks | AVNet Labs
It looks like Ruby on Rails is considerably faster than the Zend Framework. Interesting.
Note: Jon Wage has looked at this before and says it is not a very good comparison.
