TimTam - Confluence WYSIWYG Wiki client
First James broke the news (Timtam rocks! Cool WYSIWYG Wiki editor) and then Zohar belatedly got in on the action (The Biscuit is out of the Bag).
TimTam is a wicked Eclipse based Confluence client, to be released both as an Eclipse plugin and as a standalone rich client, built by Zohar.
Because everyone likes a screenshot (more here):
For those with a technical bent, it communicates back and forth via SOAP (spec here), and does the realtime HTML rendering on the server side.
The biggest thing I've discovered from it is that if you use SWT, you can embed a real browser component whatever your operating system - IE on Windows, Mozilla on Linux and WebKit / Safari on OSX. This is truly awesome. IMHO simply the best thing to happen to Java clients in the last 5 years. It means that Java applications can finally be rich clients to web applications, without needing to rerender the entire interface - brilliant.
Now if only we could embed those browsers into Swing...
(Huge congratulations to Zohar for getting this to the stage it's at - he's truly the zen-client-master-guru man.)

You can. http://www.jniwrapper.com/index.jsp
But not on all platforms (not surprisingly).
I was dissapointed after seeing WYSIWYG in the article title - I thought it was talking about a Wiki client that meant you didn't need to know any special markup. Alas it didn't really turn out to be a WYSIWYG editor, but rather a 'source' editor with a preview window.
Wow that is cool. Kudos to Zohar. It also says alot about Eclipse and the Rich Client Platform....

Investments
Advising startups is something I've started doing in the last year. It's a fascinating way to use one's brain and experience to solve other people's problems.
I'm loving it.
Besides the few I advise, I've invested in one, HomeThinking.
HomeThinking provides realtor reviews, ratings and metrics (qualitative and quantitive) for home sellers.
I also make a lot of small microfinance loans to entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. Read more about my on going Kiva Challenge (update).
