BSJSONAdditions Public SVN Repository

Holy shit. A new post on my blog!
Yes, I’m as shocked as anybody.
There’s been a recent uptick in the use of BSJSONAdditions, along with quite a few patches sent my way. This may have something to do with the iPhone development. Or maybe not. But in addition to bug fixes, there’s also some speed improvements. [...]

MBA Revisited.

I posted earlier on my general thoughts about MBAs here. But I saw this FSJ post today and made the mistake of following the links and actually reading this guy’s essay. If you can read that and don’t immediately understand what’s wrong with Microsoft, then you probably have an MBA.
I also saw this little beauty. [...]

WWDC2007

WWDC is upon me…er, us… er, WWDC is next week! Everybody around here has been scrambling to get everything ready - including me. I’m giving the Extending the Aperture Workflow session on Thursday afternoon, so if you have any interest in Aperture’s export API, come listen. I’ll also be working the Graphics & Media lab [...]

The Kentucky Derby

A few weeks ago, a co-worker and I had the opportunity to join Bill Frakes and his staff at the Kentucky Derby.
We spent three unbelievably exciting, long days working with Bill, shooting the races, and seeing how professional sports photographers work. It was an amazing experience from just about every angle - [...]

Please. No.

This is the most terrifying thing that I’ve read in a long time. Please, MBA graduates, stay away from Apple. I beg you. Apple is doing well, it’s making killer products, and your education and skill set will only serve to kill the company.
I’m only partly kidding here - but mostly not. After working at [...]

Relationships.

Brent Simmons makes some excellent points in his latest post - and he got me thinking. I like his recommendations about Notifications and KVO, and when to use them. What he says about Notifications is right on:
It’s difficult, when doing research, to know what’s going to happen when I encounter a notification-send… Another thing I [...]

Dreamscapes

I submitted a version of this photo for JPG’s “Dreamscapes” theme. I don’t know if I really like this photo for the theme, so I may try to shoot something better. But for now, I do like the surreality of the speeding lights compared to the bridge. (This is a shot of the [...]

America

This photo is my entry to JPG Magazine’s “America” theme for the upcoming issue. It’s my somewhat cynical take on the theme - consumerism, uniformity, and pre-packaged crud.
if you like this photo and think it belongs in the issue, click here and vote for it!
And if you’re into photography, definitely subscribe to JPG [...]

Please don’t go.

We have a rogue lily growing just outside our front door. Most mornings, I don’t even see it as I leave for work. But after it rains, the flowers and leaves always have beautiful, distinct water droplets on them and I can never resist grabbing a quick picture. This is especially true in [...]

Rift

When I noticed that my own blog had gone “dead” in my NetNewsWire feeds, I knew that something was wrong. It’s been too long since my last post. I swear I’m working on a post or two, but nothing complete yet. In addition to posting more articles and code, I also want to post [...]
