Following yesterday launch of Google Checkout (Google’s Paypal equivalent) this morning I just noticed that they’ve opened their authentication to the world (at least to my knowledge…).
Anyone developing web applications can just use it and have users logging in using their Google user accounts… which is a neat thing to do although I still prefer the idea behind OpenID.

Seems there’s going to be a Barcamp here in Lisbon next August. I just read about it, this morning on WeBreakStuff.com, and in case you don’t know what Barcamp is, you can learn more about it here, for those who might not have the time for longer introductions, here’s the short description:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees
Count me in!

Tróia is a peninsula that sits on the other side of the river that baths my city, Setúbal, it’s a wonderfull and unspoilled region in Portugal, where it’s still possible to walk on the sand for miles without seeing a living person. So part of me is afraid that the current development project might end this calm state of living on the other side of the river. Today by luck I run across a video about the future of Tróia, a marketing video from Sonae Turism where they not only introduce the peninsula and the project but from where you can also take a look at this piece of heaven on earth.

Well, it might as well be the revolution that personal computers might need, I certainly like it, but might just be the geek side in me. On the site you can read:
BumpTop aims to enrich the desktop metaphor with expressive, lightweight techniques found in the real world.
In might opinion this prototype rocks and they might as well be right,just check out the demo video at YouTube, or if you prefer with better quality on the company website.
