I Finally Got Curio 7!

Thomas C. posted an article on Thoughts and Things - Jan 11, 2012, 7:41 am
I wrote a while back about a cool app for Mac OS X called Curio. Just yesterday I was able to afford to upgrade to version 7 (and no, not because the upgrade price is too high--it's extremely reasonable). Just wanted to make a note about it here in a blog entry so I can remember to write about s...

What I really like about Weld which is the CDI (Context and Dependency Injection) reference implementation used in servers such as Glassfish and JBoss, is that they provide an extension where you can use most of the CDI features within a simple java application. One of the main benefits for me is th...

My Kindle

Thomas C. posted an article on Thoughts and Things - Mar 12, 2011, 4:49 pm
I love my kindle. Sure, it ain't an iPad 2, but it is a pleasure reading books on it. Because I can't afford to buy very many books, I've downloaded a bunch of free, classical literature books. Will I read 'em? I've read a few back in the days when I read real, paper bound books... rem...

Marijuana in California

Today on TV

Thomas C. posted an article on Thoughts and Things - Mar 22, 2010, 2:21 pm
While trying to learn Objective-C and Cocoa programming on Mac OS X, I took a break to see what was on TV. Star Trek: The Next Generation is on SyFy all day. Yay! This should make learning Objective-C a little more fun. I think.
