I am currently in the process of taking inventory of the books in my library. I’ve started with the physical books and so far I’d put the estimate somewhere between 1,200-1,400. I know that I have more than 1,700 audiobooks on top of that. And another 500 or so e-books. Call it 3,600 books all […]| Jamie Todd Rubin
Well, my desk is a mess and maybe I’ll put it into some order today. I have far too many books I want to read, all of them RIGHT NOW and on a wide variety of subjects. I want to re-learn science, not how it was taught in school, but with a historical backbone to […]| Jamie Todd Rubin
In a previous essay, I briefly expressed some thoughts about why Liquid Glass is inappropriate for the Mac: I’m having a much harder time seeing how Liquid Glass will benefit other platforms like the Mac or Apple TV (where Apple doesn’t even make the screen). Forcing tactility where it’s not needed or wanted feels like a misstep. I’ll now go into depth regarding these thoughts. In 2010, John Gruber wrote The Future of the Mac in an iOS World for the Macworld back page. He explained wh...| furbo.org

While it hasn't been nearly as quick of a process as I'd hoped (or really that a fully completed NaNoWriMo experience had set me up to expect), the next progress update is here! Observation is still in the works, and now just about twice as long as it was in the last update! I just passed the 33k mark and I've made some big changes to what I've written so far.| M. H.

While I haven't been giving Observation as much TLC as I feel I should have been over the past half a year, I still wanted to make sure I shared a quick update on the progress so far just in case anyone has been wanting to keep track of the process with me. I wish I had better news, but the hardest part of accountability is being honest about your shortcomings.| M. H. Miller is Currently Writing
Wandering among Words 13: Incongruity incongruous (adj.)from Latin incongruus, inconsistent, not agreeing, misfit, unsuitable. Call me sad if you like but I’ve always liked puns, Christmas cracker riddles and dad jokes, however groanworthy they indubitably are. For instance, ‘What do you get when you cross a policeman with a skunk?’ – ‘Law and odour.’ Okay, … Continue reading Lexical paradoxes| Calmgrove
Wandering among Words 12: the 1948 show Normally in this ‘Wandering among Words’ feature I explore a group of words or phrases related through meaning, sense and/or etymology. This time, however, I’m going to resort to a gimmick, by examining words and phrases which first appeared in print seventy-five years ago – in 1948. (Not … Continue reading Gimmickry| Calmgrove

I’ve been developing on Apple products for a long time: typing PEEK and POKE code from magazines into an Apple ][, figuring out how QuickDraw worked using the Inside Macintosh pre-prints, having my mind blown by Mac OS X and every new thing prefixed with “NS”, and then jailbreaking the first iPhone so I could write an app that eventually won an Apple Design Award. It’s been an exciting adventure. Until now. The engineering behind Apple products continues to be amazing: Swift and Swift...| furbo.org
