Generation Alzheimer’s – The Defining Disease Of The Baby Boomers

I was asked by a very nice lady to blog about this. I had a look, and thought it was really interesting and hugely informative. This disease is so damn tragic in it’s living nightmare of slipping away, and the ongoing effect on families, the anguish of those watching their loved ones see them as strangers.

A post from me in my incarnation as serious developer type in my project mode: The Difference between Design vs Development

One in which i grumble about the state of Android development, in particular, UI design which is finally being recognised as a actually a different thing to development – which iOS has known form the beginning. Also contains a link to the first set of Guidelines to designing for Android that treats it as proper design (well, that i have found).

Android, i love you to bits and all, but honestly, iOS has everything in one set of documents because they recognise how vital both elements are.

And until you get it, dear Android, iOS will continue to offer a (mostly) superior user experience (notifications suck, iOS, you can’t boast yet).

Oh gods. This is it. She truly understands it. Down to the pain stopping behind a knee. Astonishing how moved to tears i am by someone being able to relate. Pain is isolating:(

Bob Cesca’s Awesome Blog! Go!: Glenn Beck’s 50 Worst Things

Media Matters compiled the list of Glenn Beck’s most awful statements on Fox News.

It’s really difficult to pick the worst from the list, but I would argue that his bit about the president’s aunt while mocking her limp is way up there. Also, this about the Obama administration:

We had a group here whose goal it was to eliminate 10 percent of the U.S. population.

What do you think?

It was a dark & stormy night.

Having a bad time. Worked out what a slough of despond was. Low. Pain.

I know, boring same old. But it’s my damn life, no matter how much I pretend to be ‘normal’, pain, tired, tired of the pain. Sigh. Sorry. I have to let things out, else the overwhelmed at 3am by it all scenario is unpleasant.

Sick of my damn useless self. What is the point??
