"If I dig a very deep hole in the Earth, where will I arrive?"

When I was a kid I read a book by Jules Vernes called "Voyage au centre de la Terre" (Travel to the center of the Earth). I became fascinated by all the mysteries which might lie just under our feet. However, no matter how deep I tried to dig back then, I could never reach the center. The dream was alive, but it seemed unlikely it would be realized.

Some weeks ago, I read "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman and discovered that this planet is being "flattened" by technology today. People can work with each other wherever they are in the world, using nothing more than a computer... it is as if everybody is all in the same room, hearing each other, interacting immediately with one another.
The funny thing is that SQLFusion takes part in this astonishing phenomenon, by developing software which provides real-time collaboration capabilities to those who want to build web applications using Open Source technology.

Today, surprisingly, I discovered that my kid's dream has become true... it is now possible to dig through the Earth. It is possible to travel through the center of the Earth... using an original Google maps application. If you dont believe me, check: http://grad.icmc.usp.br/~cipriani/bighole.php?lang=en

Here comes my conclusion for the day, and for my first blog entry:

No matter how absurd our hopes and dreams can be, they are worth sharing. Think of how many pages Jules Verne wrote, for instance. Indeed, those dreams could become true one day. :)

So I hope you will enjoy reading about the dreams we have here, at SQLFusion. The entire SQLFusion team hopes you will contribute with your own wildest dreams...

...just be aware that those wild dreams might soon come true!
