Yesterday I held a session called Semantic Web II: Civic Hacking, the Semantic Web, and Visualization at Transparency Camp. In addition to posting my slides, here’s basically what I said during the talk (or, now on reflection, what I should have said): Who I Am: I run the site GovTrack.us whic...

Something hit me in the pit of my stomach last week as Miguel de Icaza previewed MonoDevelop 2. Actually, several things did. First, Mono is really growing up. It’s true that it doesn’t implement all of the newest framework features. And it’s true that it’s not very welcoming...

However, no C#4 announcement for parallelism support (Anders mentioned it in the intro of his keynote but no showcasing). In other news, Para...

These past two days, livyanne , another friend (E.), and I visited the Huntington Gardens and Library, attended Dar Williams' L.A. concert, and trekked around Disneyland! And, lo, it was awesome. Awesome-possible! First of all, we visited the Huntington. Honestly, I hated going there as a child. You...

I never, ever thought I would respect Hillary Duff. I mean, tolerate, sure; encourage, why not? Got it hand it to the girl for getting herself a team of smart agents who know merchandising, and hope that she has a damn good accountant who's helping her squirrel most of her profits away for early ret...
