Not magic, just a different kind of science.
I am as Prometheus to you mere mavening mortals (except for how he was chained to a rock for all eternity while birds repeatedly ate his internal organs)! I have stolen fire from mighty Zeus and I now share it with you. Wear your flame retardant pants, ye knave--for we enter the wild world of […]
MoreGet it? I used "re:" in the title because it's the Internet, and that kind of crap flies. I also used "flex" in order to form a poor connection to Flash. If you don't like it you aren't really a programmer--just get outta here. Anyway, on to the fleshly bits of my post. I was […]
MoreFlash developers have a rough reputation. Artist-turned-programmers run rampant in the Flash community, and they, unfortunately, have an extremely loud voice. I had the pleasure of sitting in a room with many of them while watching the magical technical work of the Unity team at Unite Flash Day 2011. Basically, they explained that their awesome […]
MoreFlex conditional compilation is kinda like a crappy, finicky version of preprocessor directives in the C family. Compiler constants can be defined and used at compile time to include (or exclude) specific code--or they can be used at run time like regular old consts (except you can't find them with any of the AS3 reflection […]
MoreNSSet and her sexy daughter, NSMutableSet are officially my two favorite Cocoa classes. They have reached previously unmeasured levels of exquisitude. Sure, they have their faults, like being finite (I was hoping to prove the continuum hypothesis with NSSet--that's a math joke), but what they lack in nonsensical mathematical jargon, they make up for in usefulitude. Enter Javascript. […]
MoreAbout a year ago I recorded an EP with a Christian band I played with in college. I've done a couple of live LPs, but they have certainly never had the quality of this studio recording. Anyway, it's finally back from all that finalizing and mastering nonsense! Give a listen or download below! These were […]
MoreYears ago when I programmed networking applications in Perl, I decided I had mastered regular expressions. I hadn't, of course, but when your code looks like you accidentally opened up a .dll in notepad, you have to believe in something. Anyway, I wrote something called a vector space search engine (a topic I will probably […]

MoreI love coming up with names for my side projects. There was the Terramorphic Genesis Algorithms (yes, like that Magic card) awhile back. Before that I wrote a brilliantly slow physics engine dubbed ARCHAUSS (Archimedes + Gauss). Well now I'd like to keep it simple with a project called Einstein. It may prove to be my most […]
