I don't have an aversion to it, but I've just been eating out or at work more often lately. I dare say my reentry to the cooking world scores high on style points. I read an article in the ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2009/12/19/fresh-mozzarella I'm excited to note I've updated my Publications page with an exciting bit of work that was recently published in IEEE MultiMedia!

Check it out in your July-September ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2009/08/22/publications-updated Today I had a great time going to Maker Faire in San Mateo.

Mouse over so you may ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2009/05/08/%e2%98%af-the-zen-of-the-bookmarks-bar Though I've had the WordPress client for iPhone installed on my phone for a long time, I've never really felt like I could make a reasonable post because I had no way to integrate photos the same way I do when posting from my laptop.

So, I decided to see both oceans flanking the continental US in one day, for it wouldn't be much further to travel. I woke ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2009/03/31/ocean-to-ocean-in-24-hours-or-less A while back I posted a bookmarklet (QTYouTube) to load H.264 versions of YouTube videos that the QuickTime plugin plays to avoid using Flash.

The white text on the solid black background wanted to look as if I had booted in to single user mode, or started my ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2008/09/24/darwin-iso-latin-1-font Erik has released a fantastic new game billed as the following: Oops! is a classic board game of skill, cunning, and regret. Battle against up to three highly intelligent computer opponents, or go head to head against real people in competitive network play. Taunt your enemies as you move swiftly ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2008/08/22/oops I noticed it was time to update my blog today when NetNewsWire displayed the title in red, indicating a stale RSS feed that hadn't been updated in a month. Sorry about the delay. Alas, I've had a busy month or two. May 11th I graduated from the University of Illinois at ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2008/07/31/moved-to-california Just a quick test of the new iPhone Wordpress client. Seems to work. :) http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2008/07/22/iphone-post This semester in Ralph Johnson's Object Oriented Programming class, CS598rej, Erik and I wrote a cool program for Squeak called Algernon. Algernon is a keyboard-based launcher that provides lightning quick access to categories, classes, morphs, and global variables in your image. It's inspired by similar tools like Quicksilver and LaunchBar for ... http://www.joeyhagedorn.com/2008/05/05/algernon-for-squeak I'm headed to Advanced Visual Interfaces '08 this summer in Naples, Italy to present the work Josh and I did on VCode + VData regarding video coding tools. I'm really proud, as it's my first first-author! You can download VCode and get more info about it on the Social website.
