Just bought a MakerbBot Replicator. I am very excited to say the least. Odds are I'm going to burn though the initially provided 2kg of abs plastic with a week or two of arrival. It'll be pretty fun (and frustrating I'm sure) to build new parts for my robotics work and costume bits. I know one of the first costume parts I'm building is going to be for Mass Effect 3 costumes, the M-5 Phalanx. More to come when the 3d printer arrives.

Today HP released Enyo as open source. They also announced Enyo 2, which will increase its cross platform and browser compatibility (along with many more great changes). That makes today a great day. With this release, I can code once and deploy a web app to webOS, Android, iOS, and other WebKit enabled browsers with ease.

With Enyo 2, I'll be able to write it once and deploy it on all those systems and on any web browser with modern web runtime. Enyo 2 currently does not have UI elements built in but that is planned for a March 2012. With that release, it'll be fun to see what I can convert at work to use this new and awesome framework.

I'm not the best at reporting all that is going on, so I direct you to enyojs.com. That is where the framework now exists (and on github, that is linked from the enyojs homepage).

So webOS, my favorite mobile os, is becoming open source. Good. I am eager (and slightly fearful) of what is to come now.

The bad is all the unknowns of a big company open sourcing a product they don't seem to care for at times. Will HP only opensource it and then forget it or will the entire ecosystem flourish under this license? Will the software die without a dedicated hardware platform?

The good news is it'll be easier for me to write my apps for multiple OSes and for the web in general. So eventually Checkbook (and whatever other apps I decide to build/open up) will be available in all sorts of places and on many operating systems. So Android people, when HP opens enyo up, prepare for a big change in your Checkbook app.
