About: My day job is working on local product availability services at Krillion. For fun, I lead a Java User Group (JUG) and a Google Technology User Group (GTUG) in Silicon Valley.

I'll be adding Loki as an optional location service provider for my Local Product Availability widget written for the Intel Mash Maker Firefox extension this weekend.
