Happy Darwin Day – procreate!!

Is disbelief in evolution a survival trait? In conversation with dozens of Darwin advocates, I have noticed a strange correlation: People who have a strong affinity for Darwinism – such that they bring it up in conversations and discuss the folly of religionists who challenge it – also tend to have strong views about overpopulation [...]

What better way to celebrate the inauguration?

What better way to celebrate than a stop motion music video techno mashup?

1 Terabyte raid in my 17″ Mac Book Pro

I’ve become even more superstitious of late, because of what I’ve done to my Mac Book Pro – putting a striped RAID of two 500GB hard drives in.

stereoscopic (“3D”) television

One of the projects I’m excited to be working on is stereoscopic or “3D” television. I’m going to be showing one off at Foo Camp this weekend. There’s a lot of good websites on the topic but I’m going to try to give a superfast, biased tutorial of what you need to know. As expected, [...]

develop apps for the iPhone NOW NOW NOW

If you haven’t started developing applications for the iPhone and porting your existing apps, you should. As we know, bandwidth gets cheaper and CPUs get more powerful every year, and if you aren’t targeting mobile, you’re targeting the death of your business. (Did that wake you up?

Zip QuickLook Plugin for OS X 10.5 Leopard

Now that you can hit space bar and preview everything, I thought it was about time I could peek into my various huge zip files and see if my file was there. Voila, you can. Here’s the link http://d.hatena.ne.jp/t_trace/20071125/p2

building the iphone toolchain on leopard

I had a lot of trouble building the iPhone toolchain on Leopard… I tried these instructions: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-dev/wiki/Building which i think are the same as these http://iphone-dev.org/howto:toolchain_on_leopard But then, hopelessly typing my error messages into google, i ran across this http://kevinchiu.org/blog/archives/iphone-toolchain-for-leopard-version-030 his command ‘curl http://kevinchiu.org/leopard_toolchain.sh|sudo bash’ did the trick.

Presidential Race thoughts

I like Obama. I like Clinton. I even like McCain. I’m happy. McCain will fight – and I don’t like war – but he will fight with practicality. He’s a real soldier, not a G.I. Joe doll like bush. Something will have to improve. I don’t think he’s as bought and sold to the current [...]

leopard – worth every penny!

The problem with leopard is so many of the enhancements are subtle. I’m not used to that. What i’m beginning to like… 1) it knows what’s on my network, without searching, without flashing a flashlight icon for several minutes. 2) It seems to have integrated screen sharing! Whoa! did not realize that! Found it by [...]
