Sun Microsystems’ loss was Google’s gain on Monday, as former Sun guru Tim Bray announced that he’s joined Google’s Android push in the role of Developer Advocate. “Google and I have been a plausible match for a long time,” Bray wrote in a blog post announcing the decision. “Web-centric, check. Search, check. Open-source, check. The list goes on.” Still, “the reason I’m here is mostly Android,” he added, calling the platform “about as unambiguously a good thing as the tangled wrinkly human texture of the Net can sustain just now.”
