I am constantly blown away that the cool winding and twisting of life... I am done the Core Animation book, now just waiting for the iPhone NDA to lift so we can ship it. I started a book on iPhone for the prag's, which is very very fun and cool too
I finished Episode 4 up last night and the gerbils (i.e. Mike Clark) @ PragProg already turned it into a downloadable movie. You can grab it here.
This episode came in a bit long (at 42 minutes) but I could not think of what to delete. The main t
Scotty was kind enough to have me on the Mac Developer Roundtable tonight. If you are interested in WWDC or iPhone SDK please have a listen. It was tons of fun! Thanks again Scotty!

As I documented here my poor old PPC mini was having trouble keeping up with the success of my wife's iPhone Games so I bought and configured a new Intel mini and shipped it off last week. It went on line yesterday and is now barely above 10% CPU us
Way back in college I had the great privilege of working on a NeXTCube (started on system 0.9, yes I'm old...) with Mathematica doing some really cool non-linear stuff. It was my first exposure to Unix (which of course spoiled me rotten) and I was h
So way back in the day when I worked at NASA one of the projects I was involved in was the space suits for Reagan's space station. That was supposed to be assembled from K'enx type things and they needed new suits to give the astronauts more time in
Alfreso is a fantastic ECM solution that has some amazing features and some great momentum. It has been more than a year since I've used Alfresco and man have they gotten some cool stuff done.

This week we’re going to see dozens of companies launch new products. Here are a few of the companies presenting this week at DEMO that are showing some strong potential:
ffwd:
In most cases, choice is a good thing. But when it comes to online video, the abundance of content available on the web can be overwhelming. ffwd (pronounced fast-foward) deals with this by picking your videos for you. The site uses video meta data as well as user behaviors to create virtual “channels&#
Yamaha offers a webpage that allows you to download PDF files that contain the instructions to build an ultra realistic paper motorcycle just like the photo above. The page can be found here. Many other paper models can also be found just by exploring the site.
A number of Facebook users are petitioning to keep the old Facebook design. I switched to the new design when I first noticed the option, and it is such a significant improvement over the old design that I would consider switching back to be a bit silly.
It’s a cleaner, more efficient, more informative design, that uses more of your screen space if it’s available. It is concise and refined by comparison to the old Facebook design. At the end of the day, a lot of people don’t
I was recently interviewed on the program: Outlook Series with host Mike Lippis, and we covered a variety of SOA-related topics, from Testing -- all the way to Virtualization.
You can listen to the 45 minute podcast interview here, but our team has also broken the interview into five parts for easier reading. Here is part one -- which focuses on SOA Governance and how companies are attempting to use this discipline to meet business goals.
Mike: “Can you share with the audi
Okay, so Sarah Palin agreed to an interview with Charlie Gibson at ABC News, but we all know (right?) that it's going to be softball questions that can be answered with glib one-liners. Not going to get answers to the questions real citizens (i.e. taxpayers, voters) have.
But it turns out if you happen to run into Sarah Palin in a restaurant, she'll answer questions, and say things that her handlers almost certainly don't want her to say.

During the nine-hour plane ride from Amsterdam (after the 1.5 hr flight from Vienna) to Dallas, I figured out how to increase the amount of money you have in the game the Governor of Poker by flipping a bit in the save game file.
I did this because I’ve had a little trouble with the game. It’s a cute Texas hold’em game in which you progress through Texas based on your winnings. Quite possibly because of the oddities of my system, the game several times acted as if it had lost
Nikon just released the D90. This is the first digital SLR that can shoot movies (as far as I know, anyway)--now you don't have to carry a digital SLR and a video camera. How cool is that?! My buddies at Ritz Camera and the 6sight Future of Imaging conference made this possible. Click here to buy one from Ritz Camera. Incidentally, I'll be the first to admit that these aren't the greatest shots--I had no idea product shots are so much harder than people shots.
Making sure any information is removed from a phone is becoming more and more difficult. To do this on a Nokia E90 do the following: (i) Go to 'Settings' > "Factory Settings" - "Restore Factory Settings" - Enter code "12345"(ii) The above will get rid of all data but strangely often leaves calendar or message data on the phone - to get rid of that, use the 3 finger reset which is, while the phone is off, hold the (*)the(3)and the (
This week's StackOverflow Podcast is up: episode 20.
We talked about the deadlock that was fixed, which was the last thing holding up the public beta... caused by a very small bug in third party libraries, which is exactly why I've always had a bias against using third party libraries. I tell an interesting story about why the Excel team had their own compiler. And I explain to a listener why Jeff never listens to me.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Business of Software conference and ma
Are you a flex developer? Send me your resume. We need Freelancers and Full Timers. Preferably in the ChicagoLand area, but will consider remote developers for the right candidates. We have needs on several projects, so if you are a flex dev
The Really, Really Odd Couple - Gates and Seinfeld - debuted last night and you can find the video online everywhere. In this post are my thoughts on the advertisement.
I spent the afternoon playing around with Google Gears in order to get a basic feel for how it works. Specifically, I wanted to see how much work it would take to add support for offline viewing for tostring.org (an online book site).
I used the Gears LocalServer API which “allows a web application to cache and serve its HTTP resources locally, without a network connection”. The implementation can be though of as a small web server that intercepts requests for remote resources and se
Among the challenging decisions new parents must make is the name of their child. It’s a lifetime commitment, and not something to be taken lightly.
We very quickly settled on his middle name, Joseph. It’s my dad and brothers’ middle name, and Stacy’s grandfather’s first name and brother’s middle name. So, a family name on both sides. Done.
The first name was trickier. Early on I proposed David, my middle name. I’ve always liked the name David (and when
Per a recent press release, TIBCO has completed its acquisition of Insightful, known for its S+ statistics language (and with a common ancestry with the open source R langage) as used, amongst others, in the financial industry. S+ and R have had a few mentions in recent CEP blogs:
Marc Adler commented on the initial TIBCO Insightful announcement [*1], and the potential for S+ queries in CEP (which is probably true at some level)
Hans Gilde commented on improvements to R and responded to Mar
jrawio is an ImageI/O plugin for "camera raw" image formats. I've started writing it a few years ago for my Nikon D100, and later extended it for working with a larger number of formats. As far as I know, it...
I have started a new series of interviews with users of technologies for storing and handling persistent objects, around the globe.6 additional user reports (12-17/08) have been published, from the following users: • Ajay Deshpande, Persistent • Horst Braeuner, City of Schwaebisch Hall • Tore Risch, Uppsala University • Michael Blaha, OMT Associates • Stefan Keller, HSR Rapperswil • Mohammed Zaki, Renssela

“This is the best browser so far” is that I can say after being a Chrome user for one day.
First of all, I was glad to find out that I haven’t found Chrome breaking any web application yet, especially Ajax applications. I was a little concerned about this, given that the Chrome cartoons say “Javascript runs in its own thread”, which is different from the threading model today.
For example, Razor Profiler is a fairly Javascript-heavy web application that I wrote
Few days thinking about the best way to copy values between the objects representation of SOAP message elements and JPA entities. I couldn't find a good answer, so I am sharing the question.
Google Chrome, a new open-source browser from Google that builds in parts on Apple's WebKit and in parts on Mozilla Firefox, was announced yesterday and just launched today at 3:02 pm EDT. Here is an interesting twist: most of the technical details about Chrome cannot be found in blog postings or technical web documentation, but rather in the form of a comic book. Talk about weird! But the comic is actually full of very interesting details - definitely worth reading, especially if you are a we
In September I’m heading to Germany to present to the German PowerBuilder user group. I’m also working on arrangements to go back over to Europe in November for other locations as well, including (hopefully), England and Switzerland. If
In past 'Mashups in Action' blog we have described mashups used in intelligence analysis, medical research, and most recently a dual-purpose community-building/data-sharing effort for a scientific community. So mashups can help make better spies, better doctors and better scientists. But other than the occasional flu shot, I don't expect most of us have much exposure to these professions.Today's Mashup In Action story is about trading, a profession you have better odds of encountering in yo
