My two year old has mysteriously learned how to access Netflix on the iPad and pull up Backyardigans. All I heard was a triumphant shout, "BACKYARDIGANS!" and the theme song suddenly started playing. Touche Steve Jobs, touche.

I am surprised to find I am sad to see Steve Jobs stepping down. I realize now that Apple and Jobs have been constants throughout my life (notwithstanding his temporary exile), starting with the Apple II and Choplifter.

LinkedIn recently published a new tool that allows users to visualize their connections. I thought the visualization looked suspiciously similar to those created by Gephi, a piece of open source software that specializes in network visualizations (I believe my first introduction to Gephi was via Drew Conway and this blog post). Lo and behold, I guess one of the lead developers of Gephi, Mathieu Bastien, actually works at LinkedIn.

Lifehacker just published an article on why handwriting is better than typing for learning. I have always had a sinking feeling I should be writing more even though always try to use the computer since it seems more efficient. Turns out my intuition was correct! So many wasted keystrokes...
