I found this treat on Robert Scoble's site this evening:
Steven Vore points out that TopStyle is one of the first products he's seen that has a weblog built into it. Here's the Weblog. Update: here's a picture of how it looks inside TopStyle.
Cool - I own TopStyle 3.0 - guess I have a new blog to read now!

Raible - you need an "about" page. I have no idea if Raible is your first name or your last name or a nick name or what. Your contact page is a bit generic... I wasn't really sure if you were going to get the email right away since it goes to "info"... Also a comments feature would be very nice. Are you using Roller? Dave! Get on it! ;-)
I do have an about page, but it's more company specific than me-specific. I'll change it a bit to mention this site is mostly tech thoughts of mine. This is my company site and I try to keep it somewhat PC and professional in case a potential client ever looks at it. I have to say, it's a big improvement (in both content and design) over my last site. Currently, I'm developing an eLearning web application for OnPoint Digital, Inc. out of my home office, where I rarely get to talk to another person (I love reading everyone blogs because it gives me that water-cooler feeling). I'm writing it using Struts (including Tiles and Validator) and DAO's/JDBC on the backend - and has heavy Javascript and CSS on the front end. The app runs on Tomcat/MySQL and all OS's we can think that a customer might want (gotta love Java). Here is a screenshot of the main interface. It's not my design, I just took it from a Photoshop image to a working application.
My name? It's something I've lived with all my life - funny that it's even happened here on the 'Net. My full name is Matt Raible - my friends call me "Raible" and I actually prefer that over "Matt." Through high school, college and now the "real world," many people actually think my first name is Raible because that's what everyone calls me. So, to answer your question, it's all of the above ;)
I'll change my contact page to be [email protected] and see how much spam I get - I haven't been getting too much from [email protected], so why not?
Also, I tried the Eclipse thing on Windows (works fine), but on the Mac, the title bars don't appear to be draggable.
