Jane McGonigal: Gaming Can Make a Better World

GameDev, Gaming, Technology Processing
March 3, 2010 
So I just came across this language called Processing... How did I not already know about this!?
What Is It?
Processing is a free, open-source, multi-platform, programming language and IDE used for easily creating digital artwork and visualizing data.
While looking through some code samples, you'll quickly realize how quickly easy it is to achieve impressive results. The rotating cube above, with a fire-effect, was done in less than 100 lines of code (including comments and white space.)
Code, Programming, Technology I Really Want to Be Able to Put if Statements on the RHS of an Assignment Operator

C++, Code, Programming Contracting
January 30, 2010 A new chapter in my career is beginning...
Starting soon, I'll be spending quite a bit of my free programming time doing contract work. Unfortunately, this means that I'll be spending less time on my personal projects, but I'm still looking forward to the experience.
Hopefully, this will also give me some new topics to talk (rant) about. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Unfortunately, the photos were taken on a disposable camera, then scanned, so they're not the greatest quality. But still, I figured I'd share them here, as well as tell you all a little bit about the project.

If the buzz is any indicator, Apple is getting ready to reveal iPhone OS 4.0, along with it's new tablet. Apparently, the new iPhone OS and the OS for the tablet will be very similar, so Apple has been hesitant to reveal the iPhone OS until the tablet has been revealed.
Before the new OS is revealed, I figured I'd post a few things that I would like to see Apple do.
