I was looking through the book Expert C Programming again when I came upon their “light relief” section on The International Obfuscated C Code Competition . It’s a contest to write the most obscure code. That the language C has a competition where you write confusing code in it probably says something about the…
This shoot was a lot of fun, and it was a great pleasure working with Posy and Jim. I think their talent as producer and director really show through. They also did a great job editing my off-the-cuff narratives. The spot in the video where I’m pointing out Samsung parts isn’t matched to the b-roll of Apple parts, but…

Instead of writing about my reflections on the past year, I thought I would do something different and post twelve key learnings and observations looking back over my career.

If you haven’t seen it, this is a very accurate and smart Downfall satire on Docker’s ecosystem, technology, and culture. It’s so good that I thought it would be instructive to an…

Finally the ultra low profile memory I was waiting for arrived and so at last I had Windows XP running inside my "Windows XP Box", and one of the most compact Mini-ITX projects ever. The cooling solution with two case fans and a ducted CPU fan works like a dream and is both quiet and effective. So far it has shown no…
