Well, it seems a lot has happened since last time. An additional lisp library for concurrency called Calispel has been released and is up on Cliki. Unfortunately, it depends on cl-jpl-utils which in turn depends on cl-rsm-queue, neither of which are on Cliki. Such is life. There are good things though, a release candidate for [...]
In the style of my former post on a Math Undergraduate Education, this post proposes a list of texts suitable for a rigorous and well-rounded foundation in Undergraduate Computer Science. A future post will cover the philosophical details and practical implementation of such an approach. This list skews towards theory rather than practicality (or Computer [...]
In the next few days, I’m hoping to write an article about education that serves as a follow up to Towards a new HR and Secondhand Standards. It will explain a bit more about the feasibility and philosophy behind this post. All this post is meant to do is propose a list of texts that [...]
I’ll try to actually write something useful in here (be it technology ruminations, code, or an essay) soon. For now, I’m too busy working, having fun, and sharing content with you all. Today, I’m posting an excerpt from Eduardo Galeano’s Upside Down. It’s the first thing of Galeano’s that I read (on recommendation from a [...]

Just for the heck of it, you know? Hardware It’d be pretty swell if I could get a BenQ FP222WH Flatscreen Monitor. It takes HDMI input so I wouldn’t need a TV in my first apartment! Zareason is producing some Ubuntu keyboards and I need a USB keyboard to hack on my PS3 so that [...]

I’m back. The beach trip had it’s ups and downs but I’m glad to be back and there’s plenty that I missed in the computing world that I’m catching up on. I did get a few books read while I was there though and met a skateboarder and a guitarist that were fun to hang [...]
On Tuesday I was quite relieved to be off work. It had been a stressful day at the office but I had exciting dinner plans with friends (trivia night at Benchwarmers with Justin and Bria, for the curious). I had finished Cradle to Cradle by McDonough and Braungart the day before and needed to start [...]
The first day of work was pretty good. I’ll say more tomorrow cause I need to get to bed for tonight. My summer reading list has lengthened though. My summer reading list was: Worldchanging by Alex Steffen The Wealth of Networks by Yochai Benkler Infotopia by Cass Sunstein Code by Lawrence Lessig Just for Fun [...]
