I'm Steve Poole - I work for IBM in a group called the "Java Technology Centre" (or Center depending on your geographical leaning). I don't have a wonderful title - probably because I've become a fixture in the group. I've been working on Java VM's and SDKs since before Java was even 1. I don't have a blog etc. Am I too old to start?
