This video is great! A band of talented musicians whose instruments are only iPads and iPhones:

I am amazed at how creatively musicians from North Point Community Church use these devices… picking specific apps for different instruments, and the creativity of the app developers who dreamed them up. Just cool!

The musicians needed to practice a bit more on the middle song, but the first and the last songs were very polished and professional.

Anyways everybody, Merry Christmas!

Javascript: The Good Parts – A Collection of Lectures By Douglas Crockford on the Javascript Language

A few years ago, I am not sure just when or how, I stumbled upon these videos on Yahoo where programming legend Douglas Crockford gave very interesting and insightful lectures on the JavaScript language. It has been a bit tedious to find part X of a lecture and I would think about creating a page on the web that embeds all these videos in a way that makes watching them easier to do. To curate this content as Robert Scoble might say. Well after all this time I am doing just that in this post.  I think that if you are a programmer and you use JavaScript in any fashion that this information is really useful. Both to learn new things, as well as for review. Read more

In this article I cover how you can fix the Base SDK Missing problem you might have had using the iOS SDK 5.2. The video above is easiest to see in full screen mode.

Background:
I downloaded Apple’s iOS SDK 5.2 and installed it on my Mac. After that process was over , I decided to load an existing project of mine into XCode. Ok, good. Then I tried to do a build. Kaboom! It did not work! No worries I thought, I will just go to the drop-down and pick the latest SDK 5.2. But the option was not there! The thought came to me that I might have to create a new project and import all my files from my existing project just to get it to work. Not a very nice thought to say the least! Read more

Thanksgiving Turkey
While in many ways 2010 was a tough year, there are still many many things to be thankful for. Here is a list of things I though of for myself:

 

  • A job. Not something to be taken for granted these days.
  • Food to eat.
  • A roof over my head
  • A wife that loves me.
  • 2 nephews.
  • 2 sisters and 2 brother-in-laws.
  • My mom.
  • Fall colors.
  • Fresh clean crisp air to breathe in.
  • A good church.
  • Good friends.
  • A working car.
  • walks in the forest preserve.

I could go on a while but I think you get the drift. What are you thankful for?

Here’s wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving!
