Joyent Promotional Video for Sun

My domain is hosted at TextDrive, a company owned by Joyent.  They are huge on Sun products, especially the new Solaris 10 and the X4500 box.  Here is a promotional video from Sun that shows what Joyent is doing with their products.

CrazyEgg

A different kind of website tracking system that overlays a “heat map” of what visitors are clicking on when they visit your site.  It’s definately worth a look.

Jesus Camp

Typetester
