I finally bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner yesterday. It completely changes my cleaning experience. Design that asks and answers the right questions can completely change other experiences, too.

I drove down to Boulder last weekend to participate in an open-spaces Python conference, speak at an eyes-forward programming conference, and attend a workshop on TurboGears 2. Here's what I learned.

I'm reading Po Bronson's "What Should I Do With My Life?" which is brilliant on many levels. For one thing, it's the anti-self-help book; it's just stories from talking to people, and by no means is everyone successful.

There's a saying that's been traveling the business circles in recent years: "Speaking truth to power." It means you are so confident and direct that you can actually tell someone in power what's really going on.

My prediction of how Chrome -- both the browser and the OS -- is going to flatten the playing field for programmers.
August 20, 2009,
The kind of thing I've been talking about: time-share restaurants, edupunk and microlending.

The Linux Outlaws podcasters interviewed me when I gave a keynote at EuroPython.
