- [Cisco to Buy WebEx for $2.9B](http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2104366,00.asp?kc=EWWHNEMNL031507EOAD)
    
    what Cote said. Whoa. So what exactly does this do to the recent Lotus Cisco deal? The overlaps are growing, and Cisco is moving into RedMonk territory. heh. I am not a huge webex fan but the new fabric stuff is very interesting.

- [Python, Django and DB2: we need your input!](http://antoniocangiano.com/articles/2007/03/15/python-django-and-db2-we-need-your-input)
    
    its time for DB2 to give some love to Python. PHP and Ruby are getting some, but Python is a bit left out. here a Ruby maven argues for a change. It might be more important to support Mac OSX though- come on IBM you know what the cool kids are using!!

- [IBM developerWorks : Blogs : Patrick Mueller](http://www-03.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/pmuellr?entry=sql_grumbles)
    
    Patrick slaps SQL and Relational religion. I think we should stop conflating database with relational. different kinds of database exist.
