Apple vs. Adobe (or Thoughts on Section 3.3.1)

April 30, 2010

This post started life as a voice memo on April 13th, a few days after Apple announced the iPhone 4 OS and unleashed the much bandied about section 3.3.1 (“no 3rd party development platforms”) rule in the new iPhone SDK Agreement.  Since Steve Jobs himself decided to weigh in on this point, I figured it [...]

OmniGraffle Stencil for Sale

August 25, 2009

OmniGraffle, the Mac-based workflow application, comes with a pretty good set of stencils.  You can also find loads of free stencils and  build fairly nice workflows and diagrams by throwing random icons on a screen.  But if you’re looking for a consistent set of icons for designing information technology related workflows and diagrams, good luck.

Two New Projects Launched

August 8, 2009

June 6, 2007

This week I’ve been attending Microsoft’s Tech-Ed 2007 conference here in Orlando at the gigantic Orange County Convention Center.  A group of us from work ascended upon Orlando on Sunday and Monday to check out new Microsoft technologies, do some recon on products we’ve recently brought into our “enterprise” and to get out of the office fray [...]

VSLive! in Orlando

May 8, 2007

I’m excited and yet depressed about being at the VSLive! conference in Orlando, FL. I like going to conferences. I enjoy the experience of the hotels, the routines and the knowledge sharing. But it’s also very depressing and frustrating because it revolves around Microsoft.

Cartoon Logic: A Day in the Life Here’s a story for you entrepreneurs. My very first company was called Cartoon Logic. It was a sole-proprietorship that I established in July of 1997, after my second year of college. I started the company to prove that my Computer Science education was applicable in the real world.
