Macworld has come and gone and no 3G iPhone! As much as I love my Nokia 6680 running Symbian and my vNES emmulator, the iPhone has an unmatched web experience. As I stated in a previous post, I think the 3G iPhone will be a game changer and really break open the mobile [...]
For those of you that have not used Agile development, I highly recommend you take a look at the online book Getting Real. Though it is written from the perspective of Ruby on Rails development, it offers solid principles on iterative process that can be used on a multitude of projects. In addition [...]

Looks like Demonoid, arguably the best torrent site on the net has been shut down. The rumor is that its ISP in Canada succumbed to the pressure. About a year ago Demonoid had to move from the Netherlands to Canada. Now that TorrentSpy is also blocked in the US, I’m going to [...]
Recently I have seen a lot web apps use Adobe Flex to develop a rich UI. I had last looked at Flex when it was in its infancy. At the time it was pre beta and Flex was being positioned as a tool to build 3-D environments. I played with it some, [...]
