“All you need to know thus far is that Ruby is basically built from sentences. They aren’t exactly English sentences. They are short collections of words and punctuation [that] encompass a single thought. These sentences can form books. They can form pages. They can form entire novels, when strung together. Novels that can be read by humans, but also by computers.”

Love these photos of my old backyard in Utah.
The new iPad
Apple’s products are characterized by an overarching product name – not a number. There is no longer a devaluing of former products with qualifiers and additions. The Apple TV, as it has always been, is simply the Apple TV. The iPad, too, is now simply the iPad. Regardless of year of purchase, you own an iPad and it is equally supported and respected by the user and by Apple.
I like this. Keep it simple. Keep making great products.

Teller Reveals His Secrets
I am totally fascinated by Penn and Teller. Love this take on the rules of magic.
I’m all for helping science. But after I share what I know, my neuroscientist friends thank me by showing me eye-tracking and MRI equipment, and promising that someday such machinery will help make me a better magician.
I have my doubts. Neuroscientists are novices at deception. Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years.
