Smartphones need web apps not app store apps. Via @andyi on flickr. I don't think you need to learn objective C, or the android environment in order to make useful smartphone applications. Html and javascript should be able to cover 90% (99%? Of the sorts of applications that are being written. I think it is actually a step backwards to force people with good ideas to have to write "close to the metal" (C) code, especially if you already know HTML and the concepts behind flash. If you hone your skills in...

This started as email to a friend but I thought it might be useful to share). I’ve been using coffeescript for about a year. Other than using it for my own projects, I have learned it's syntax from the coffeescript website. And from the random coffeescript snippet that I see here and there. With, but now I tend to use underscore.js. Here’s an ex...

It was ten years ago today that I asked Claudia to marry me. The intervening years have far surpassed all expectations of partnership, meaning, growth, adventure and plain old love than even the best Hollywood romance or English novel could inspire. Here is how I recorded the events of that day:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stuff I think is cool. There was an error in this gadget. Open Source Software I've written.

I have written a script that creates an efficient, appliance-like, ubuntu client. It is customized to automatically connect to the right wireless access point, and it is bundled with a firefox profile that starts on boot and which has a full screen plugin pre-installed. The home page pre-configured, and a nice little plugin called 'try again' that automatically refreshes the page if the connection is lost. Of course, this lovely little piece of work is useless if I can't install Ubuntu. Endless googling ...

I was upset too. I hugged my wife. Kissed my baby girl. Mourned for the children and teachers. I was sad about the lack of mental health resources and angry about the guns.

Hacktivate: Ode to Coffeescript
http://www.vdomck.org/2012/03/ode-to-coffeescript.html
This started as email to a friend but I thought it might be useful to share). I’ve been using coffeescript for about a year. Other than using it for my own projects, I have learned it's syntax from the coffeescript website. And from the random coffeescript snippet that I see here and there. Being able to abandon a lot of the extra braces and parens for indentation helped for readability (I actually agree with Python over Ruby on this one), especially relative to the javascript that I was writing before.

Hacktivate: Malawian windmill
http://www.vdomck.org/2006/11/23/malawian-windmill
From The Daily Times:. William says after dropping out of school in 2002, because he could not raise schools fees, he had nothing to do and grew an interest in reading science books. He says one day while reading he came across two books, Using Energy and How it Works, which are about generation of electricity using a windmill. The windmill stands on a tripod of wooden polls about five metres above the ground. It consists of locally-available materials and as far as he can remember his investments we...
