From my trip to Oregon a few weeks ago - this one was left forgotten in the camera in the middle of all the chaos of moving to LA.

• The Floating Shelves and Hidden Cables Workspace - Workspaces - Lifehacker
  Love how this is set up - very cool. I can't stand cable clutter, my current work setup is pretty bad in that respect... hoping that's temporary and I can improve.

Gruber on Android

"I worry that's going to be the Android community -- forever talking about the next year's batch of phones, because the ones available now just are second-rate."

 - John Gruber
From his follow-up to "The Android Opportunity".

Gruber absolutely hits the nail on the head with his comment that Android hardware designers have to just crush the iPhone in at least one aspect to make a product that has an appeal other than "it's not an iPhone." Make it the best cameraphone ever - like the quality of a Canon compact camera with phone functions (including real flash!) Or make it the best gaming device ever - a Nintendo DS with a phone.

• iPhone Sudoku Grab: How does it all work?
  Awesome explanation of how a really cool iPhone app works. I'm sure we're going to see more computer vision iPhone apps coming especially given the improved quality of the iPhone 3GS camera and its ability to read bar codes, etc.

Waiting on a double-double.

Waiting on a double-double. #fb, originally uploaded by karlo.

As of last Saturday, I've moved to LA to take on a new job with IMDB, a subdivision of Amazon.com. I just realized that if you look at my blog, it still looks like I'm in Oregon on vacation - had to do something to fix that.

LA is goodso far - I'm still living out of my bags and driving a rental car. Hopefully that will change over the next few weeks.

(Oh... and In-N-Out was okay. But I found Tender Greens, which I prefer.)
