About two weeks ago, I took a risk in the nickel slots that ended up paying off. The Philadelphia Youth Network asked us to document the crosswalk between their current career and technical education programs to the occupations in philadelphia. Then some committee somewhere decided that they liked location quotients and the whole thing became a big ugly mess. To cut through it, I created a simple graphing tool using Processing that allows the user to compare and contrast above and beyond excel or even when you could get spitting out SPSS graphs into photoshop.

OS X is really just the incremental development of the underpinnings of OS 11. Its system 7 to 8 and 9. But 11 will be as different from 10 as 6 was to 7. The multifinder becomes multitouch and suddenly we have more than just improvement, we have new.
They’ve been rewriting the core for several versions now and they’ve settled on a model that finally abstracts it from the hardware just enough to pull it across unlimited interfaces. That is a very small landing site. Thank god for computers.

These speakers seem to support my belief that the future and the past sort of coexist in the present moment at the same time. In fact, I believe that the future is just an idea that reverberates throughout spacetime, while the past are just the parts of spacetime that are not resonating with that idea. It’s an interesting visualization when you’re in final rest and trying not to think about anything at all. The tricky part is where free will/isolated awareness allows you to examine whatever combination of future and past you care to light up. It’s the configuration of those two things that gives you context, however, they are as arbitrarily chosen according to comfort level as whatever is on a McDonald’s menu.

at a minimum it takes 5 people to keep a relationship going: the two principles, and three therapists.

when the iSight came out I thought it was the greatest thing. It definitely got me laid. That was almost 5 years ago.
Now, many more people have them built in, including me, and I don’t use it at all. Ever.
And when I hear many of the goobers who are upside down for apple say that the company will put one in the iPhone face up, I think that it sounds cool but its a feature I won’t use, at least not right away.
I remember thinking that video phones were *so cool* in 1996. I remember thinking that everyone will want one. Now I think most people don’t want to be seen, much less heard, which is why we pay astronomical prices for text messages. Either it will catch on all at once, or my generation will have to lose our grip on the creative control for video chats to become commonplace. Or, at least, that’s what I think.
