There was a very brief two week period where I considered not hating Apple computers. But that had to end. Here’s a WTF that caught my attention. Oh Apple. You’re so smart.

Python (the computer language)
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
I have to write a quick post praising the almighty Python. I’ve used a lot of languages in my short time, and many of those were scripting languages. I resisted learning Python very purposefully. The language, for those who don’t know, is parsed using whitespace, which goes against every language I’ve ever [...]

Discussion Sections Waste Everyone’s Time
Friday, March 23, 2007

easy to order prints
relatively simple to upload
well known companies, implying I [...]

Friday, March 23, 2007

For those of you who don’t know, it takes interesting facebook events and shows them in a chronological list on your home page. For instance, according to my current feed, a friend of mine just added photos, and a kid [...]
Computer Fashion
Friday, March 23, 2007
I recently got a Blackberry Pearl. I’m sure many of posts will refer to it, since it is the best thing to happen to me, ever. Well not really but you know what I mean. After getting it, I changed my main calendar to Outlook. I previously used Google calendar. There was a tough period [...]
Three’s a crowd
Yeah no kidding. But I didn’t realize how true that was until tonight. I was at blockbuster and these three girls were talking. It was clear that one girl was the odd one out. I knew it right away. She would say things that seemed to fit in the conversation fine. “I like ice age” [...]
