(In case you ever wonder what I post for my friends on Facebook, the posts often look like this. It may be helpful to know before reading it that I’m known to have a bit of a donut addiction.)
Person behind the counter at Dunkin’ Donuts: “Hi, how can I help you?”
Me: “Hi. I’d like two donuts.”
“Two donuts?”
“Yes, four donuts.”
An interesting comment from Cubs’ rookie pitcher Kyle Hendricks on pitching in the minor leagues vs pitching in the major leagues. (Image from this article.)
From this article on Paul Konerko. As a Cubs fan, the best tribute I can give is to say that I wish he had played for the Cubs.
From San Antonio Spurs’ player Bruce Bowen talks about who he liked to guard, and many other things, including saying that Head Coach Gregg Popovich is, “nuttier than a fruitcake.” More information at this link.
eXtreme Programming taught us that customers, programmers, and managers have certain “rights” on software development projects. As copied from this article, those “Bill of Rights” are listed below.
I don’t remember where I saw this image, I think it was on Twitter, but it points out three elements you need for good mobile design. Personally I wish the icons were a little better in iOS -- a little more obvious -- but the idea comes across in these three images. I think the word is “context,” humans need context when using mobile apps, or any apps.
I always wondered what the differences were. Well done, Lazy Dog.
According to an article published in adn.com, Alaska will be the place to live in just a few decades as global-warming-slash-climate-change kicks into its next gear.
I bought a new Subaru Outback last week, and so far I’m very impressed with Subaru. I just received a “Welcome to the Subaru family” email, which I thought was put together well. It wasn’t arrogant, but just a statement of the resources that are available to new Subaru owners. It shows organization and thoughtfulness (while also helping to promote future sales), and I wish we had something like this when I owned my consulting firm.
I’m currently working on a trilogy of “books” (booklets) about software cost estimating, and the third book in the series is about estimating the time and cost of software development projects in an agile development environment. The book isn’t complete yet, and some of it may not make sense without the first two books in the series, but I thought I’d release it here today, as almost everyone has some sort of “agile” development environment going today (or at least I hope so).
According to Forbes, AppleTV now includes HomeKit software, which will allow smart appliances around the home to communicate to/from iOS devices.
