This makes a book a community. Right on.
(When you go there, choose the first edition and look for page 56. That's a good sample...)
Thai Iced Tea
The Thai Iced Tea I had with dinner tonight (actually, both of them ;-)) have really done a number on me. I can't get tired. :-/
Maybe I'm just excited about another day at Genentech learning Cocoa, and a little sad that tomorrow's the last day. I'm going to miss that sweet PowerMac Cube, too.
A G4 makes all the difference with OS X, let me tell you. Wow.

Damn! Proof MOSR will post anything
A clueless MacOS Rumors reader (Eric Christensen in case you're curious) wrote this little gem and sent it in...
As a side note, I only pulled this into Photoshop to save it as a JPG from a TIFF. I did not change the word on the button. That's how it displayed."

Ryan Meader replied:
Of course, what Eric and Ryan weren't clueful enough to figure out was that this dialog actually comes from the MacReporter dockling, not Mac OS X's Software Update system.
Anyway, definitely worth a laugh. ;-)

Drinking the Cocoa
I'm having a great time with at the Big Nerd Ranch Cocoa course. It's so useful to have the regimented sit down time and exercises, and to have people around learning the same thing at the same time, and to have a guru instructor around to ask questions.
The coffee station outside the training room has a water cooler with hot/cold water, and there's a box of Carnation Cocoa mix as well.
We've all been drinkin' the Cocoa. ;-)
