First things first: I’ve booked my flight to San Francisco. Fellow foodie Tom read my WWDC post, and decided to google for it. I’d been in Knoxville for the past 2 days, and hadn’t had much chance to search on my own. Tuesday morning:
tom: Found that ticket yet?
me: no.
tom: Tried this one [...]

I couldn’t make this up if I wanted to. Shortly after firing off my sniveling email where I begged for a ticket like a groveling fanboy, this showed up in my inbox:

I stared at it for a couple seconds, trying to decide whether I was hallucinating, or if this was some cruel joke being [...]

Long story short (which gets explained in the email below), I was offered an opportunity to go to WWDC by my work, but now the site is saying that it is sold out (for the first time ever!).

Check out this music video made entirely using Mac OS applications and utilities. I passed over this video as a couple of my favorite blogs posted about it, but it wasn’t until I stopped to watch it that I realized how amazing it is.
It is tough to even comprehend the time that must have [...]

While I work on the aforementioned forthcoming design that has a much more robust search/navigation system, I felt it important to note that this site does have a search bar.
I love to think that people use the tags on the left of each post to get to related content, but I know deep down it [...]

Although I spent the better part of this weekend in Ayer, Massachusetts participating in a family-run 5k, I managed to squeeze some development time on my upcoming WordPress theme.

HTC premiered their new Touch Diamond handset today, and judging by the pictures, it looks like someone actually layered on a nice “looking” user interface on top of the crap-stack that is Windows Mobile.
