When I got home from work last night, Oscar saw me from the kitchen and, for the first time, came running and shouting to the door to meet me! It’s the most touching ‘first time’, yet.
Although, ‘running and shouting’ was more ‘grunting and dragging himself across the floor at a glacial rate’. He made it half way before I gave in and stepped to him.

Oscar has just turned 6 months old! The time has gone pretty quick, but it’s hard to remember life without him. Except being able to go see a movie before spoilers ruin it.
He’s still not written his first app, but he’s learned a lot since getting yanked into the world. Here’s a quick run through… Read the rest of this entry »
What interesting patterns on this seat!
The document I referred to earlier today is actually really interesting, regardless of the trial. The Samsung engineers did a really good job analysing what it is that makes the iPhone different.

This document distills some of the techniques.
One I’ve observed recently, is the difference between slide transitions that follow your finger vs those that are more like a gesture triggering an action. The disconnect between your action and the result reduces the realism/polish. (as an example: the Reeder iPhone app’s swipe to the right to go back a screen, vs Sparrow’s same function)
What’s happening to the Mac Pro?
