Dare puts this quote from Tim Bray up on his blog.

Aaron Skonnard mentionsthat

Found this on Wesner Moise’s blog. He’s discussing the performance implications between managed and unmanaged code.

So I am in the market for a Tablet PC and after a bit of research, the Toshiba Portege M200 is the top contender for my hard earned dollar.

My favorite “offensive” license plate is:

If you installed SP1 for the .NET framework, you may notice that certain feeds are broken and return an HTTP Protocol Error. Dare looked into this and posted an explanation and workaround to the problem.

Whoa! I saw this on Wired News. If anyone is in danger, it’s me. I love getting right up to the subwoofers and feel the wind generated (of course wearing my etymotic earplugs).

I think Chris Anderson is totally wrong here. I am currently the smartest person in the room. I don’t CARE if I’m also the dumbest person in the room. He’s still wrong. ;)

Wired printed an article recently (I wish I could remember the title) that discussed the network structure of relationships and fame. For example, imagine individuals as nodes in a big graph. Join the nodes by drawing directional vertices that indicate whether a person knows of another person. An arrow drawn from Bob to Alice indicates Bob knows Alice. The fact that there’s no arrow from Alice to Bob indicates Bob’s a total loser (or stalker).

Recently I blabbed on and on about how to create a sane build process. One question I’ve heard in the past is what’s the point of a setting up a big formal build process when you have a very small project, perhaps with a team of one or two?

According to Yahoo News, Kobe Bryant’s Rape case has been dismissed by the judge. So now begins the civil trial?

(A funny story I heard from somwhere. Supposedly its a true story.)

I recently added a Privacy Policy for this site to the top navigation bar. I did this after reading this blog post. Having a privacy policy is one of the conditions for the iTunes affiliate program.

So after much deliberation and research, we’ve decided that we’re going to provide a home for a dog. In particular, we hope to adopt an Italian Greyhound from a rescue center. A rescue center is basically a foster home for dogs rescued from the dog pound. A rescue typically specializes in finding homes for a specific breed. For example, there is a Labrador Rescue, a Poodle Rescue, etc…

Kyle sent me this classic photo from a friend of his, Brad Kagawa, who was at the RNC protest in New York. Brad scrambled across the march to take a picture of the geekiest protest sign he’s ever seen.

Peli has a post about a new Reflector Add-In he will release soon. It generates a statement graph from the body of a method. It’s a nice way to produce a flowchart and visualize the “flow” of execution within a method. See an example below:

I have a few GMail invites to give away. If you don’t mind having a profit driven corporation scanning the contents of your emails in order to target you with ads, then post a funny comment with your email address. Or just post a bland comment. I don’t really care.

So today, loads of clean people will be driving through the small town of Gerlach into the temporary city of Black Rock City. Trust me, they won’t stay clean for long, and will definitely bring home a souvenir of a nice coating of Playa dust over everything.

In the comments section of the post about the geekiest protest sign, Clara points out that tshirthell.com sells a t-shirt with the end Bush tag (seen below).

We just got back from their wedding reception in San Francisco and we had a great time. I can see that you two will be very happy and I was honored to take part in the reception. Also, many thanks for the iPod, an overly generous gift, but one I will make good use of. I now finally have an iPod. Wohoo!
