But I felt he was using it merely as a term of endearment and respect, and not an official corporate title. Know what makes me stop reading a comment? When someone is so stunted by a term, derides something as "hipster" as if thi

Am I the only geek in the world who wasn't THAT impressed with Avengers? It was a fine superhero film, great ensemble cast, good script and all, but I didn't find it revolutionary. #3 "best" film ever? Come on!

I graduated high school in '92 and since my systems at home were better than what we had in our labs, I gravitated toward exploring the local University networks. You could dial in to a terminal and then connect to any of the local machine

I have the wonderful fortune of getting to work with Andy, and spoke with him about this a few years ago. (This story pops up again every two years or so). Shortly after, he let me know he had taken a look at the code for the first time in

Splash screens aren't there for the vanity of the development team - they provide immediate visual feedback to the user that the application is loading any necessary libraries. I'm also at Adobe and my team recently performed a ground-up re

I recently read about a study that found strangers were generally far more friendly and willing to talk and initiate conversation when they had a known shared interest. In the case of the study, they found over 20x more initiated interacti

I think this suggestion kind of misses the point: the evolution of mass culture, at least over the 20th century, has moved from radio, to movies, to TV. The biggest growth in recent new media has been video games, and now, online social se

I have been working on almost this same project for a year, while I taught myself the proper way to code a project like this. Were it not for my slow grasp of MVC and Javascript's self model, I'd have not started over 20 times and been fir

My feeling has always been there has to be something more than "I was here!" to make it compelling. For the most part, few people really (or at least SHOULD) care that you were just getting a coffee or in line at the water park. How can "

Shaming someone caught in the act is hardly vigilante justice. About a year ago, a local tavern was robbed of their cash register by a thief who neglected to hide from the security cameras and who dropped his mixtape on the way out the sma

Yuck! The pink "strawberries" are the WORST!* I have a pile of them underneath my monitor when I'm unlucky enough to get one in the little two-packs. * Out of the original flavors (orange, lemon, cherry, and strawberry.)

A pretty basic mobile messaging application. Data is stored on a server, options are displayed, content is loaded and sent, etc, etc. Nothing really special. Some of my biggest hurdles faced so far: - After days of banging my head again

except that they don't have CC transactions for EACH app you download, do they? I believe they make a bulk charge at the end of the day so if you download a $2.99 app and three 99 apps, they don't pay a transaction cost for each app. They
