I got my iPhone 3G on the day they first came out. I of course had to try out the then sometimes broken MobileMe service and cancelled before the 30-day trial was up. Some time after I started realizing that my Address Book contacts were no longer syncing and I started seeing random phone numbers instead of names. Here’s what I had to do to fix it.

I have always had an interest in creating useful applications, so I have just started to work through a new book, Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. I am already somewhat familiar with the basic underlying concepts of C, Self(SmallTalk derivative), and OOP so things seem pretty straightforward. Most of the work for me is going to be learning the Xcode and Interface Builder tools and Objective-C. (more…)

I just upgraded WordPress and am trying out the WordPress iPhone app for the first time. This should help me to keep this thing up to date more easily…

I have been wondering what happened to my ramblings from early 2007… Hackers got ‘em… I’m working on restoring the lost articles.

You can again enjoy classics like Matzah Brei, Take One and Package from Amazon.com goes back in time.

I am currently taking three courses each quarter. My dad and a few of my friends seem to think that this doesn’t seem like it is enough, but it seems to be plenty of work to me. I have calculated that lecture time for three courses and one lab (17 quarter units) is 12 hours, 30 minutes, and this generates 29 hours of work on projects and homework outside of class. The grand total is a 41 hour, 30 minute week. Seems like enough to me. (more…)

I made matzah brei for the first time this morning. Working from the recipe in The Complete Passover Cookbook and past experience watching my mom make it, it came out pretty well. (more…)
