Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, on LinkedIn: Each of us are part of our economies and our societies. Long-term growth is directly related to our ability to make our climate more sustainable, our economies more viable and our societies more equitable. Those changes can only happen if we ask ourselves two questions: What difference is our business making?…
This video is absolutely mind-blowing. Everything about this was science fiction a few years ago. In fact, the video looks fake while you watch it because you can’t believe this is happening on Earth. And now with some regularity. Watching this video makes me think that I’ll be alive when people (perhaps even with their kids) will take…
Wearing my Millenium Falcon tee.
Our early spring has felt more like winter than winter did.
How did I just now come across Mogwai?
Back Bay, Sandbridge, VA October 2015
Putting in a long day today. Hustle!
Power out at home. Not to be denied our productive day Kyle and I have moved to Panera Bread.
Ice, snow, wind, and brilliant blue skies. One last push as winter is tilting south into the Southern Hemisphere.
Woke up at 6:45a and built an import tool for Barley 1 users to migrate to Barley 2. I thought this was going to be a herculean task but I ended up finishing in under 3 hours and 61 lines of code. A good reminder that sometimes I worry about things being tougher than they really will be.
The Model 3 looks like an amazing car and it is an equally amazing achievement. Congrats Tesla. Interesting to note: they brought in 115 million dollars in downpayments and have over 4 billion dollars committed. Not bad for a single day. No wonder Apple wants a peice of this pie.
The greatest living bearded blogger, Jim Dalrymple, on The Loop: I still think it’s going to make for an incredible upgrade for those iPhone 5s users, but I also think it’s going to appeal to some current iPhone 6 users. A lot of people upgraded to the newest design for the technology, and of course, to have the…

The iPhone SE is for me and Yeti is changing my life. https://cdevroe.com/media/audio/e6.mp3 Download MP3
Brewing a second cup of coffee and reading Gruber’s review of the iPhone SE: http://daringfireball.net/2016/03/the_iphone_se
Nat Friedman on the Xamarin blog: Xamarin will be in every edition of Visual Studio, including the widely-available Visual Studio Community Edition, which is free for individual developers, open source projects, academic research, education, and small professional teams. Develop and publish native apps for iOS and Android with C# or F# from directly within Visual Studio with no…
Trying to figure out how to keep my current pace at work without burning out. I honestly think it could be possible.
The April jokes are starting to roll in already. I think I’ll close all social sites for the next 48-hours.
Imagine if your favorite software company said; we didn't waste any resources this year on an April 1st joke, instead we are delivering these bug fixes. That would be something.
Get used to the sight of people lining up for cars. Tesla is as beloved as Apple. If Apple jumps into the auto-arena we’ll see this happening again. Happy day to all of you out there nabbing a Tesla 3. I wish I could.
Somewhat related: Photo stats and observations. I began the switch to iCloud Photo Library a few days ago and so far it has been a mixed experience. Since weaving a good narrative is not in my wheelhouse, here is a laundry list of observations that I’ve made over the last few days. iCloud Photo Library brings the Internet…
Nearly all of the tech coverage I read about Snapchat’s latest update lead with “stickers” being part of the update. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bob the walrus. But how can they not lead with the fact that they’ve added realtime video and voice calling? I remember the first time I ever tried video chatting on a Macintosh…
Satya is killing it. #Build2016
I’m looking forward to Microsoft’s Build conference today. Last year’s presentation left me with a completely different attitude toward the company. Let’s hope they keep up the momentum this year.
