It does seem funny to me that those in power find ways to stay in power even after being proved disastrously wrong over and over again.
Props to Gruber for the link.
I’m sitting in the bleachers in Central High School waiting to find out if I’ll be called as an alternate for my regional caucus. It’s an interesting experience. I’m a political novice. I wasn’t affiliated with any party a few years ago and I was raised by Republicans. Heck one of my folks dropped me of here on their way to be a delegate at the Republican regional caucus. So I’m a complete novice when it comes to the Democrats and how they do business.
No I don’t live at home still, but yes I do live way to close to say I’m really out on my own.
I wonder if I’ll be asked to do my civic duty today. I have my doubts. I certainly won’t be ponying up money to the party–I have no idea if that matters by the way. I suspect I’ll give some to my candidate of choice for President and Senate, but I think I’m saving my cash until those roles are decided.
My only political observation so far is that there are a lot of little blue pieces of tape on people’s name tags indicating support for Al Franken. I have no clue how he’d do in the general election but he appears to be cleaning up in the primaries.
I’m starting to feel weird pounding away on the old lapster in the back here. I think I’ll tuck it away for now.
I know there are already options with better ones likely on the way, but it would be really nice if Apple would provide the kind of seamless integration they’re providing for Exchange for a wider range of corporate calendar systems. SyncML is one very good start. Caldav support for Mobile iCal would be another pretty good method. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the U will get to test the Enterprise features and provide feedback. I suppose I could open a radar feature request…
Watch the iPhone SDK Event and check the gushing praise for developing for the iPhone from EA, SalesForce, AOL and SEGA. Now notice some of them talk about how they’ve never developed for the Mac before, or written a lick of Objective C (Apple’s programming language of choice). I see Gruber’s already beat me to the punch blogging this, but let me say it anyway:
If you want to develop for the iPhone, you not only have to use OS X, you have to learn how to develop for it.
It seems to me it’d be awful easy to take those Mobile OS X skills and crank out some apps for the regular old desktop version. There are no guarantees I suppose, but I suspect there will be some developers who use that shiny new Mac Pro to develop more than great new iPhone/iPod Touch apps.
