While building a Flash game, I wrote some code to alternate through squares on a grid system and it seemed rather slow. My code made use of the % (modulo) operator and, thinking that was the cause, I went in search of a better solution. I blew the dust off the Bitwise operator (&) and researched what it actually does. As it turns out, this little bit of programming’s past can be quite handy.

The fine follks over at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital are looking for a designer/developer to join their 5-person Intranet team. This year, they will be redesigning their employee intranet and moving from a static website to a role-based portal.

So, upon returning home from SXSW and cracking open the new issue of Seed, I read something I wish I’d known before “ Having sex is the best way to prepare for a speech.”

Kel and I landed in Austin, TX this afternoon. We’re here for SXSWi. It’s like an annual pilgrimage. Molly calls it “geek camp,” but I think of it more as a time to actually see the people I spend so much time with virtually.
