Email (let's drop the hyphen) (2003)
I have been a happy man ever since January 1, 1990, when I no longer had an email address. I'd used email since about 1975, and it seems to me that 15 years of email is plenty for one lifetime.

A programmer's view of the Universe, part 2: Mario Kart
Very thought-provoking article. I especially liked the tie-in at the end to the questions modern science is considering about the Big Bang. You make a very valid point -- those sorts of questions are meaningless in the context of the embedded system. The whole time I was reading your Mario Kart analogy, I couldn't…

Every day I learn something new… and stupid.
Hey kids, did you know that JavaScript doesn't have integers? That's right!

How to Do What You Love (2006)
January 2006 To do something well you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We've got it down to four words: "Do what you love." But it's not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you love is complicated. The very idea is foreign to what most of us learn as kids. When I was a kid, it seemed as if work…
