Now that Finn is basically a full time walker and is starting to show that famous attitude that all of the Provost's seem to possess, we finally decided to turn his room into a real little boy's room. Out with the "guest room" furniture and in with the little boy stuff. We took a trip to Ikea yesterday to start scouting furniture and colors. I'm sure Emily will be posting more details as we proceed.
Here are a few things that have been collecting in my "blog this" collection...
Monad Team Blog - Yes, I'm still hooked on Msh (aka Monad). Now the team has a shared blog so those who don't have their own spout can share the Monad goodness.
Freedom Languages - An excellent philosophical article that compares "safety languages" with "freedon languages". A quote: "Freedom languages are those languages that put the individual programmer at the center of their philosophical world. They work hard to remove any language constructs that reduce programmer freedom, and add the most powerful constructs available."
OpenSpace - Martin Fowler explains some of the history and background of Open Space... a very cool 'agile' way of doing conferences and get-togethers.
Cracking Software To Run Non-Admin - Lee Holmes does something I've always wanted to do... actually crack someone's binaries to fix their LUA stupidity. Yeah, it may be a violatio of the license agreement, but as far as I'm concerned it isn't being done for profit or to steal IP but to fix a bug.
Mio GPS SmartPhone - Hmmm... I was thinking I was gonna wait for a Q-Phone, but I may have to get one of these instead. [via Rory]
