I’m Reading…A little too busy tonight for a long blog post, but thought I’d share how excited I am to be helping assist the launch of a new course at Stanford this Fall:
CS 193P: iPhone Application Programming
The class website is still a work in progress, but it will come along. The course is open to Stanford [...]

I had a business trip to Boston this past week, which means I got a lot of good reading hours in on the plane ride across the country. As a result, expect to see some intellectually inspired posts this week.
Tonight, I’m going to start off with an easy one – the most recent issue of [...]

Got to be careful what I say here. Mike Schroepfer might be reading.
Actually, I was reading his blog when I found out that Firefox 3 Beta 3 is out. You can download it here.
I’m playing the naive user for now… just installed it and using it, without reading up on the specifics of [...]

I don’t normally post about military or political events here, but this this article had a specific technology angle to it, and I thought it was too interesting to ignore.
From Aviation Week:
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the Israelis struck a construction site at Tall al-Abyad just south of the Turkish border on Sept. 6. Press [...]

Blowing some dust off the old compiler this weekend… after about 8 years, I’m actually getting ready to write some real client-side software again. Just a personal project, for fun.
Nothing fancy, but I’ve decided to see if I can’t write some useful plug-ins for Mac OS X. In particular, I’m going to see if I [...]

Now this one is a lot of fun…
I moved my blog reading from My Yahoo to Google Reader about 6 weeks ago. It has been tough to adjust to the new habit – my instinct is to always go to My Yahoo. But My Yahoo just wasn’t scaling for the number of blogs I like [...]

About a year ago, Amazon launched it’s S3 storage service. This seemed a little strange to me at the time, because Amazon’s core business is as an online retailer… it was unclear to me what type of strategic advantage they would have as a long term of provider of cheap, online storage.
“Let a thousand flowers [...]

Several years ago, a good friend of mine worked as an electrical engineer for a company here in Silicon Valley. It was a pretty cool company, and they made pretty cool chips for networking applications.

Wow. That was fast.
I’ve previously written about the AppleTV, and how there was significant potential for the idea to work if there were simple ways for people to convert their existing DVD libraries to iTunes.
The problem is, due to legal liability, Apple likely has no intention to integrate DVD-ripping into iTunes. So much for Rip. [...]

Borrowed from my friend Eric Cheng’s blog today, this cartoon made me laugh out loud:
Maybe it’s because this sums up every shell experience I have on Mac OS X, when I’m getting into the weeds fixing something.
I don’t think Carolyn is set up to take shell commands, but I have to try this out tomorrow.

Even though my blog is now over six months old, I continue to be flattered when I see links to my posts on other sites. I love clicking through each one, and seeing what the author found interesting about my comments and my site.
Most of the links incoming to my site recently have been [...]
