Posted by OpenLab 2009 is a compilation of fifty blog posts chosen from several hundred nominated for 2009. For the second time I was a judge for OpenLab, and I can tell you that it is a shame to see only 50 selections given that many more than this number were clearly worthy. But that is what happens when one transforms electrons into bits of ink and paper …. you throw a lot of wheat out with the chaff.
