I have an image I'm trying to make so I thought I'd share some of what I've found. Some of the classic tutorials are by the following artists:

Susie Oviatt
Hayley Wakenshaw
Joan Starks
Rowan Crawford
Targon (Ed Wisniewski)

These tutorials seem to be reposted all over the internet since they were originally posted to a news group in the 90's. Some of the sites that have them are:

Hello Random Number on the iPhone

Because what I really need to do is learn yet another programing language I'm taking an iPhone Development class at machine project with Chandler McWilliams as the instructor.

He recommended the book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X and since fellow-student-Matthew Iadarola got it out of the Library we decided to give the first example a shot: the random number generator.

It had to be adapted some for the iPhone since this is not an iPhone book, but we got it done.

I posted the code for him, heavily commented here. I also uploaded the Buttons example from class b/c I reference it in my comments. 

There are two versions, functionally virtually identical, but the UI layout in one is much more streamlined. It's all about design.

BBC NEWS | Health | Just what does make me 'me'?

By Marcus du Sautoy Professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford

Professor du Sautoy set out to find out the real him

Over the last few months I have been on an extraordinary journey to find out what makes me "me".

I have had my brain scanned, tricked, electrocuted, drugged in a plethora of different experiments in my attempt to find out what it is that gives me the feeling that there is someone inside my head.

Science calls it the search for consciousness. I call it the search for "me".

I was not always aware of myself as a human being separate from those around me.

But at what point does this self-awareness kick-in?

Awww, it's so cute! ((tages: hardware stores, San Francisco, hardware, vendor))

I went to visit one of my favorite hardware stores in San Francisco this past weekend to see if my favorite item was still there... a $93.00 luthier's planer. It's adorable.  So are the $24.00 rosewood ones from India, but this one is from a now defunct US manufacturer. There is also a beautiful wooden level... I love tools...

So super pleased to give a shout out to Adam and NYC Resistor, home of the Bartending Robot. I found this video today trying to be inspired about my own card design. It isn't going to be nearly this clever.

If you are in New York you should check them out. I really enjoyed going to the Arduino Hacklab there before I moved.

So a friend just bought his first copy of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras... "with full-on Sanskrit squiggles" and I remembered a time when I thought I was going to learn all those squiggles... I slightly updated the page and here it is... maybe I'll remotivate

Made them in Apple's Pages (http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/), using an English keyboard with the "Keyboard Viewer" installed...in case anyone cares...

  Choice

  We turn up the volume on the voices in our heads and try to make sense of the babble. On a journey around the country to understand how emotion and logic interact to guide us through our options, we ponder how we get through the million choices and decisions we make every day. Forget free will, some important decisions could come down to a steaming cup of coffee.

One of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite podcasts... having a hard time making decisions today so seems like a good thing to post!
