The Intercom

300 baud modem, check. Compuserve, check. Forget that — bulletin board services!

Watched Wargames at the theater, check. Top Secret!, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Teenager in the 80s, check.

Atari 2600, TRS-80 Model III, Commodore 64, Tron. Activision — for crying out loud!

Internet Relay Chat at the Tech library basement in 1987. Mac Plus at the Carpenter Hall computer lab the same year.

Wasted youth, check.

Good grief, I’d do it all over again.

The Texas Smokehouse Salad

This salad has it all (well, except maybe pork products)! The peppercorn dressing hit the spot, and the turkey/brisket slices were enough for lunch. Super fresh salad ingredients.

Keeping up with the Intels

What does it mean when my phone loads my site dozens of times faster than my desktop (floortop) machine?

I agree with my brother

It’s one thing to have to wait for your food for a long time, but when everybody finally gets served, and you’re still waiting… and your sister doesn’t help the situation… well, it’s all a growing boy can do.

CS193P – “Coding together”

Stanford is currently offering in iTunes U their Winter 2013 iPhone Application Development class. The course is currently five or six lectures in, but since folks not enrolled at Stanford can only audit the class, I think anyone can just jump right in.

And get lost.

The instructor runs through a list of prerequisites that included three classes offered at the university: CS106, CS107 and CS108. iTunes U may have notes from the classes, but not all the videos. The first two classes, however, have archived lectures on YouTube, however they may not be in synch with the video content. The class site mentioned in the CS1o6 course is synched with the current semester.

The CS193P class dives right into Objective C and makes all kinds of assumptions on the students, like they are familiar with programming and are already confortable coding programs.
