Dreaming in Code Paperback Released

Yesterday, I received my paperback copy of Dreaming in Code from Scott Rosenberg as part of a free paperbacks for bloggers promotion.

CodeMash 2008 – Day 0

My friend Mike and I made it to Sandusky, OH for CodeMash 2008 this afternoon. The only event scheduled for today was a panel discussion in the evening on “Talking Technology to Humans.” It was alright, if not exactly a topic that held my interest too much. Mike and I decided to try making some [...]
