Edward Tufte displayed how the iPhone resolves the small screen display issue. The coolest part of it all, is that his phone is jailbreaked, that’s impressive.
p.s. I’m working on a overhaul of this little blog and I expect to write in it more often. This last year has been pretty intense, but some of my time has been freed up.

I’ve been pretty lazy with my blog posts lately. I’m currently on vacation chilling out so I decided to write something here. I just got back from a Business/Leisure trip to Upstate NY, Connecticut and NYC. We held out second internal Hack Day at IBM on the 15th, and I was part of the team organizing and developing the infrastructure for it. After Hack Day, I spent the weekend in NYC with my sister. Basically we walked a lot in Manhattan and saw Spamalot, which was awesome. Now I’m home, on vacation, slacking off :)
The Dems won both the Senate and the House, on top of that, Rumsfeld steps down. Are we looking at better times, where checks and balances are reinstated? Hopefully so.
Long story short, I’m an uncle, two months early. The good news is, it seems like the worst is behind us, the baby looks fine and she’s breathing on her own, the mother is doing great too and ecstatic that her baby is doing well. Grandma arrived today, and she too is incredibly happy, dad is relieved and ecstatic also. Granpa comes in on wednesday, someone will be spoiled and Uncle, well, what can I say, it’s been a stressful few days, but I’m certain the baby is going to be one helluva bundle of joy.

Today I was made aware of rb-appscript which is a Ruby library which hooks into applevents making it a nice substitute for Applescript. Here is a quick little script I did to try it out: [ruby] require “appscript”
AS.app(’Aperture’).projects.get.each do |project| p “project: ” + project.name.get project.albums.get.each do |album| p ‘album: ‘ + album.name.get end end [/ruby] Which nicely prints out as:
"project: ACL Day 2"
"album: flickr"
"project: ACL Day 3"
"album: flickr"
"project: ACL day 1"
"album: flickr"
"project: BBQ"
"project: Pikes Place Market"
"album: my album"
"project: Ratatat"
"project: Redmond Day 1"
"album: redmond album"
"project: atx"
"project: Puerto Rico, Oct 2006"
Combine this with some ruby-cocoa magic and you can easily build native looking applications that can use applescript in a much easier manner than Cocoa alone.
And that my friends is pretty damn sweet.
Not it! Mass. elementary school bans tag - Yahoo! News: “Recess is ‘a time when accidents can happen,’ said Willett Elementary School Principal Gaylene Heppe, who approved the ban.”
Lets raise a bunch of antisocial brats.
