Nick Fitzgerald, posted a nice piece on object oriented code on new years eve 2010. Yes he was blogging about programming on NYE. Whats perhaps more telling is I tweeted and read it as it came out.
One of the reasons I was happy to see a OO post on Ruby is the rarity. In our weekly meetup we don’t cover it enough. I think this is because seasoned Rubyists assume to have a...

Bernie Sanders' war on the banks →
Bernie is for all intents and purposes OWS’s man in the Senate — whether they want one or not. Not one but two online campaigns have been launched to draft him for a presidential run. His epic eight and a half hour filibuster against President Obama’s extension of the Bush tax cuts last December has been published by Nationbooks under the title The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed...

A Step-by-Step Guide to Leaving Your Big Predatory...
A major goal of the Occupy Wall Street protest that’s been happening in New York City for nearly a month is to teach the banks that ruined America a lesson. The financial industry’s pursuit of money at all costs is a large part of why the United States is suffering today, but their “too big to fail” power is so intimidating as to confuse people wondering how to punish them...

Educating #OccupyWallStreet Protesters →
The award-winning film, “Inside Job,” does a good job of deviating from the mainstream media’s false narrative that Wall Street is completely blameless and that no crimes were committed by the CEOs of the major banks.
But the film does not capture the complete insanity and immorality of the modern banking system. It does not zoom in on the secret and anti-democratic Federal Reserve Monster that...

Terminator Vision App Sweeps Hackathon →
Way to go, Haris! Not only do you look great in the video (acting ain’t easy, bro), the app looks awesome. Congrats. Now headed to my friendly neighborhood app store.
The Hack of the Week Series highlights a new hackathon programming project each week. Augmenting vision with details about whomever you’re looking at is no longer just a trick for artificially intelligent machines in a...

It’s exciting to see this approach being taken by Stanford Engineering. There is a need for this kind of open, higher education. I signed up for the advanced track.
So many choices, so little time. Not that I’m complaining. Far from it, thankfully. I just wish I could clone myself and do everything.

Project Spartan: Facebook's Hush-Hush Plan To Take... →
As we understand it, Project Spartan is the codename for a new platform Facebook is on verge of launching. It’s entirely HTML5-based and the aim is to reach some 100 million users in a key place: mobile. More specifically, the initial target is both surprising and awesome: mobile Safari.
Yes, Facebook is about to launch a mobile platform aimed squarely at working on the iPhone (and iPad). But...
