Aaron Hillegass has probably done the most to promote Cocoa, the Mac OS
X framework. I've taken his class at the Big Nerd Ranch which was an
awesome week. The third edition of "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" is
coming out soon. If you are interested in becoming a Mac developer or
an iPhone developer, this is the book for you. I'm thinking of upgrading to this, but it will be strange to have 4 of
the same books at home.http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=47
Car drivers, please share the rode with cyclists.
Cyclists, be more careful and watch out.
I started reading this manga only a few hours ago, and I find that I am enjoying it. It’s about bread baking, but done up with as a hero’s quest story plus a dash of Iron Chef. It’s that competition that makes it so intriguing.
Scanning the television dial the other day and I come across some belly
dancers. It's on the FitTV channel and they claim that it is some form
of exercise. While I don't doubt that shaking and gyrating your hips
can feel like exercise, the one whose blood pressure rose was mine.
It's strangely hypnotic.Is it getting hot in here?http://fittv.discovery.com/convergence/shimmy/shimmy.html
Here it is. Two o’clock in the morning and I’m posting my link of the day. It’s to some Japanese ghost phenomena. I’m scared. I haven’t seen any of the videos. Would someone please tell me if they are creepy?
Gas prices going up? You should be mad about everything that the auto-obsessed country is doing to us. We’re too busy to notice, but it’s the choices that we made in the past that is haunting us today.
Let’s change, America!
Lately, in the anime world, there’s been gripes with their quality. I don’t really get what’s the deal, but most anime seems to cater to this phenomenon. I think I may experience it as well.

As you may know, I work for a IniTech doing software development. One
of those things you do in the field is version control, tracking changes
to your source code. That's all cool, except within your source code
tree, lots of detritus and extra files or folder gets accumulated. It makes grep-ping for strings difficult. You end up gaining knowledge
on how to "find" your source files, "grep" for the strings, and piping
them into xargs for doing things.Enter ack, the find|grep|xargs replacement. I installed the standalone
perl script version, and find life somewhat easier. Takes the annoyance
out of searching source code.Plus, it's all about Bill the cat. Thpppt.http://petdance.com/ack/
Thomas Friedman is almost always wrong, but, like the cliché of the stopped watch, he's right at least once on occasion. In this opinion piece in the NY Times, he's making sense that the way to a national energy policy is not through taxation. The Clinton-McClain gas tax holiday is a bogus way out of dependency for oil. Those two candidates are wankers and are only pandering to the stupid people of the US with this proposal. We got us into this mess, relaxing the cost won't get us out. We need to reduce our dependency on oil, not increase it. The decrease in cost should raise the demand. Something this dumb should disqualify them both from being president.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/opinion/30friedman.html?
