I ventured with our summer intern to the Los Gatos Apple Store early on Friday morning: we were in line by 4 AM, and were numbers 23 and 24 in line. We were back at Apple by 9 AM, iPhone 3Gs in hand: we both got the 16 GB model. I went with white (didn’t […]
(Edit: My apologies: comments were closed earlier; they closed automatically after 2 weeks. They’re open now.) CPU History 1.0 was an obvious work in progress. It shipped without multicore support, with a redrawing bug, and with a horrid preference window design. The first two bugs were fixed months ago, when I pushed a beta of 1.1 […]
Edit: I posted this three days ago, but Google Maps URLs didn’t cooperate, so here it is, better late than never. Apologies for the technical difficulties. We landed earlier today in Los Altos. I’ll be in a room in a four bedroom house here for about two weeks, doing a short commute to Apple starting […]
We’re currently in Portland, OR, staying the night at a hostel in the northwest end of town. Seattle was fantastic. I’m not sure if I’d be able to get used to the rain, but, assuming I love San Francisco as much as I’m expecting to, I’ve found my second best Pacific coast city in Seattle. Tomorrow, […]
We’ve now traveled over 2500 miles. I haven’t totaled gas receipts, but Eric and I are estimating over 350 dollars so far. Thank god for large credit lines with American Express. Since the last post, we’ve traversed three more states. The morning of the 27th, we headed north from Omaha, through Iowa and into South […]
It’s the end of day three. We spent Tuesday traveling to Chicago (a 680 mile haul), and all day Wednesday tagging around the city and watching the Cubs win against the LA Dodgers. Today was spent traveling to Omaha (480 miles) to stay with a friend of Eric’s. Tomorrow morning, we go north to South Dakota, […]
I’d be lying if I said that dating someone as you leave college is a terrible idea. If you hit it off in the final days and weeks of school, then that’s how life played out. Enjoy every last moment you get, and don’t hate yourself or the circumstances for being inconvenient. While this won’t […]

The Escapist just did a very intriguing interview with Jason Rohrer on design, development, and perfection. After pushing an app out the door earlier this semester (CPU History), and actively developing the website at my part-time job (at VBI), I understand the fine balance between timeliness of release and striving for perfection. When writing CPU […]
This preference pane deserves a whole blog post. SmartSleep is a tiny preference pane that changes the sleeping behaviour of any Mac that supports hibernation. Here’s some quick background information (skip the next two paragraphs if you know how hibernation works). By default, new Intel-based laptops save part of their RAM to disk every time they’re […]
