I just want to Celebrate. . . My 50th podcast!

I started podcasting October 2nd, 2004 and this marks my 50th podcast.

Outsourcing…outsourcing?!?

Pacific News Service reports that some Indian programmers are now too expensive for Indian outsourcing firms and so the Indian firms are outsourcing their jobs. . .

Commodore. . .the brand that just won't die!

As one of the original third-party developers for the Commodore Amiga and the author of MaxiPlan, UltraCard and author of the CD+G Player inside the CDTV set-top-box, we always used to have a saying, "Never use the word Commodore and Marketing in the same sentence".  Now the Commodore brand has been sold and they think they're going to use it to market video games

 

Ah the old days. . . I was there at Lincoln Center in New York City in 1985 at that weird launch event where Andy Warhol painted Debbie Harry (the girl from the band Blondie)'s picture and we all cheered the "bouncing ball" demo
