Why "Holy Whale" ?

Grails have been done to death. They are so old hat. So Web 2.0. Holy Whale implies something BIG, slippery, and difficult to catch without the help of a few friends. Not that I advocate catching whales. It's a metaphor, ok? And on the subject of metaphors, it's also a kind of realistic acknowledgement that the prize at the end of this journey will almost certainly be rather different than the one envisaged at the outset.

Happy Birthday to TB in Sydney! ;-)

Have I arrived by magic? Is my finger really on the pulse? Am I witnessing the dawn of something huge? - time will tell.

Personally, I'm in search of the Holey Whale, apart from the one they breath through -obviously .
