ALT.Developer

With all of this talk lately (from the .Net crowd) about ALT.NET … I think I have to say that it’s all in good if you live entirely in a Microsoft ecosystem… but I don’t. It still has that mainly .Net feel to it, which I can’t live with… Here’s my new classification: ALT.Developer The manifesto: I will...

MAKE Magazine

Neil (who, btw, just had a beautiful baby girl)… gave me a MAKE Magazine subscription just for shits and giggles… Yeah, freaking awesome right?

iPhone SDK

So I picked up the “The God Phone” SDK the other day just for shits and giggles… and it gives me a pretend iPhone on my laptop so I don’t have to spend the $500 to get a real one! It comes with a “forms” designer and lots of code examples. Pretty nice SDK for a phone, except for the fact that it’s 1...

joining drop.io

It’s time again for me to make a career move. I know I’ve been flip flopping between .Net and Ruby… but this opportunity can’t be passed up. I’ve talked about drop.io before, but now I get to work on it from the inside again. That’s right, I’m leaving Inetium and am heading over to help out the team...
