I’m really starting to hate December. Of all the worst times of year to have a big expo, January has got to be the poorest choice you could make if you were trying to make people miserable on purpose. The basic problem is that everybody wants to have...

I’ve been running Leopard on at least one of my test machines for well over a year now. Each build has been give and take as Apple has honed in on the final release. One rather nasty rendering bug persisted until the very end, and finally turned out not...

Today I have been called for jury duty, and as I write this, I wait in the jury selection room. I brought things to do, but it’s not like you can plumb the depths of... well just about anything with the uncertainty of having to jump up any minute and...

My first trip to San Francisco was also my first developers conference. It was July of 1992, and I was attending the very first Win32 Professional Developers Conference. I returned home with a beta copy of Windows NT, my first exposure to something called...

Well, I'm back from NEAF. We had a great time and I enjoyed meeting many of our customers and talking to people about Seeker. It's amazing how many people I'm getting to know in this industry. One of my friends from the local astronomy club even flew...

My how time flies when your having fun. The SkyX (student edition) is going to be ready to show off at NEAF but it’s not shippable yet. Steve and I are going to share a one hour workshop at NEAF on Saturday to introduce The SkyX and Seeker, and then on...

Well, Seeker for Windows has finally shipped! I've been a little quiet here lately. I've been diverted to The Sky X for a little while, incorporating some Seeker "technology" there. We're pressing hard to have The Sky X ready by NEAF... it might not "ship"...

Took a little vacation last week and went to the Winter Star Party. This is my favorite event to attend as it's a whole week of immersing myself in my hobby (without having to think of it as my profession too!). The weather was generally uncooperative...
