I presented CF/Flex and Scorpio sneaks to the Toronto CFUG earlier this week. At the event, Oliver Merk announced the formation of a new Toronto Flex User Group , and the inaugural meting is set for January 23rd, 2007. This is great news for the Toronto community!
Marco Martins wrote to let me know about the new Brazilian National ColdFusion User Group . ColdFusion has some very important customers and deployments in Brazil, but community support withered somewhat during the Macromedia era, and this new group is going to be an important part of...

But I am not giving up, and now the device that has caught my attention is the new Samsung BlackJack . This device has a pretty sleek form factor, it's narrower than the Treo, the Nokia E61/62,...
