My brother once laughed at me when I told him that I thought I would make a good counselor. *grin* I can see from your reaction you’re thinking the same thing. Well, I was sitting at my desk today, trying to get myself in the mood to do some coding when I […]
The courts have ruled that the NSA wiretapping program was illegal. This is related to a previous post I did on Privacy, as it relates to Technology and Government. I’m still greatly interested in what the ABA readership feels about the relationship of Technology, Communication, and Government. What kinds of safeguards should be in place […]
Wired 14.07: What Kind of Genius Are You?
“A new theory suggests that creativity comes in two distinct types – quick and dramatic, or careful and quiet.” I find this especially interesting on many levels. And it occured to me that you could see this theory worked out in OS’s. Apple is an […]
Today the other developer I work with was sifting through some of our legacy code and ran across the feakiest code comment I have ever seen. It gave me chills.
//I am not a victim.

Come on, give me your best shot. :)

For you 1337 graphic designers out there, stock.xchng is the place for you. Courtesy of my 1337 graphic design colleauges here at Harding University.
But Neo in The Matrix 3 mob fight scene looked so fake? It’s not because the artist who designed Neo was so much worse than the one who did Gollum. The reason why Gollum looked so lifelike and real as opposed to Neo is precisely because Gollum isn’t real. He was a fantasy creature. In […]
