An Inquiry into Values

Back during my first attempt at free-flight outside the safety net of my (dear) Mother’s religion, one of the first thought-provoking books I picked up was a little pink paperback with a very curious title. The year was 1976. Due to a last-minute decision to switch from an obscure private college in Lincoln Nebraska to a slightly less […]

Molly, you Swang me.

Further securing Buzz Out Loud as my new favorite podcast (edging out the Cranky guys), Molly’s just-say-no position on Apple Software struck a chord.  When the anti-virus software packages start targeting Safari auto-installs (as reported on Buzz) you know it’s time.

Devscovery Paused: Bryant Park

The first day of a technical conference often leaves one feeling broadsided. Combine that with a two hour timezone shift and a poor night’s sleep and you’re ready for a Manhatten.
Halfway back to the hotel, I’ve paused in one of my Midtown favorites: Bryant Park (no, it’s not my photo. NewYorkPanorama.com)–given new meaning now […]
