One of the most popular, and most odious, conservative blogs out there is called Powerline. I will not link to it, as I don’t want its rightwing nutjob cooties all over doodleplex, but I have to mention this, from one of their recent posts:
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A [...]
The Model/View/Controller paradigm has been around since 1979, when Trygve Reenskaug came up with what is arguably one of the most influential concepts in modern software history. Twenty five years later, it still forms the underpinnings of the vast majority of our user interfaces, and has extended beyond the realm of rich client design to [...]
I’m sitting in a foreign Starbucks, in the far Northern Kingdom of Frederick, watching two flies locked in some sort of martial/marital embrace, spinning down to the ground in a frantic death spiral. Fine by me. I’m not much of a fan of flies, or any insects, really. I mean, they’re not as bad as [...]
I have trouble remembering how old I am. There just isn’t enough spare retentive capacity in my tiny little one-bedroom mind to waste on another number, so I don’t. This hasn’t been a problem, though: I was born in 1970, so the calculation is particularly simple, even for me.

I’m cleaning out my room this weekend. Over the past six years, I’ve managed to cram about three tons of papers/receipts/batwings/rubber brains/catalogs/maps/eyelashes/magazines/etc into a space about the size of a washing machine, and it’s about to explode: I can hear it creaking and shifting and groaning around me, all that massy mass, the weight of [...]
I’m been watching a really fascinating series of talks over at The Server Side, on the subject of J2EE best practices and project failures and scalability and all manner of serious geekaliciousness. Even better, I’m watching it right in my browser, on this neat Flash viewer that displays the video stream on the left, and [...]
