WWDC 2014

May 31, 2014

Once again, I won’t be able to attend WWDC. I am very excited though that on Monday we will be able to see what Apple has in store for us for the next few years, because I believe that this event will be more about announcing the foundation of things to come than actual products […]

Website redesign

February 24, 2014

Yesterday, after working on the project for over a month, I finally published my redesigned home page. It was long overdue, the previous design looked dated and was not designed to support mobile devices. The new site sports a modern responsive design and I really hope you enjoy the enhanced navigation experience. Although I have […]

Ducks

December 20, 2013

You cannot imagine how glad I was to see the controversy that has followed the indefinite suspension of Phil Robertson from his show, Duck Dynasty. For those who are not aware of what happened, A&E, the network that produces the show, decided to remove Phil, after learning that he had given an interview to GQ […]

Is XML dead?

November 18, 2013

Over the last few years there has been a relentless attack on XML. First it was on the browser, where it was argued that due to the lack of processing power and need for responsiveness, a data format like JSON that could be easily and quickly parsed by JavaScript was far better suited for the […]

Exercising

November 4, 2013

I started exercising about 18 months ago. At the time, I could barely walk for an hour at 5.6km/h. Today, I routinely walk 10km in under 1h20m and I often walk 12, 14 or even 16km per day. While I do not expect to win any medals at the next Olympics, what really strikes me […]

My predictions for tomorrow

October 21, 2013

Earlier today I laid out my expectations for tomorrow’s Apple Event. That said, the prediction game is extremely entertaining and I do not want to miss a great opportunity to play it. So, here we go, these are my predictions: iPhone: As part of the introduction, Apple CEO Tim Cook will try to clarify that […]

Apple’s October 22nd event

October 21, 2013

Next Tuesday Apple will unveil a lot of goodies. It is widely expected that the Cupertino based company will unveil new iPads (probably with some new cover), updated MacBook Pros and a totally overhauled Mac Pro, as well as many software updates to both its consumer and professional software offerings. That should be more than […]

We have the facts. Are we reaching the logical conclusions?

September 12, 2013

When I attended WWDC in 2006, Apple introduced Core Animation. It was a great technology for OS X that allowed to easily create dynamic interfaces. Everyone was wowed by the demos, but nobody was really sure how they could use the technology in their applications. Why? Because the technology had not been developed with the […]

WWDC 2013

June 9, 2013

This year, for a third year in a row, I unfortunately won’t be able to attend WWDC. I certainly hope to be back next year though, as I really miss the excitement and the creative energy that you can feel during the week long event. When you are used to attend large customer events organized […]

Mad at Oracle

January 15, 2013

Yesterday Oracle updated their Java JRE to fix yet another zero-day exploit. It seems that lately Java has become the new Flash, with new exploits being found on a daily or weekly basis. It really looks like they are dropping the ball on the security aspect of Java. This is specially upsetting since the whole […]
