We just completed the first day of a cross-town move to our new house. It’s my first foray into home ownership, so this is exciting and a little bit nerve wracking. Thanks to all of our friends who helped make what would otherwise have been an overwhelming task into a fun afternoon.

Yesterday’s news of Steve Jobs’ resignation was sad for me. My concern is not for Apple; Apple is a vibrant community of designers and developers and Tim Cook will be excellent at the helm. My concern was for Steve Jobs. He has been one of the few people in my later life that I’ve truly admired, and his work and principles have been of great inspiration to me. I’d like to join…

Thanks to everyone I met at WWDC this year and to the friends I got to see for a great time. San Francisco was as beautiful as ever and the Mac and iOS development communities are, as usual, full of new and brilliant ideas. It’s always heartening to see. TUAW and MacTech will be posting the result of our blogging work at WWDC over the next few weeks.

I look forward to seeing…

As a child, my wife Aditi had memorized this poem by Oliver Herford. She remembered enough of it that we were able to find it on the Googles, and I’m absolutely in love with it. As your end-of-the-day, end-of-the-world thought, and as my I-just-ate-my-first-hamburger-in-15-years thought, I present:

This post is a departure from my usual. I need a chance to think out loud about a larger-than-usual decision I’m making. Bear with me, or skip it entirely if you like. You can always come back again later for nerdier fun. This morning I’m writing about this choice. This is not a life-or-death decision, but it is certainly a change in the way I view the world.
