The Duct Tape Programmer - Joel on Software

by ERSWeb (via)
Jamie Zawinski is what I would call a duct-tape programmer. And I say that with a great deal of respect. He is the kind of programmer who is hard at work building the future, and making useful things so that people can do stuff. He is the guy you want on your team building go-carts, because he has two favorite tools: duct tape and WD-40. And he will wield them elegantly even as your go-cart is careening down the hill at a mile a minute. This will happen while other programmers are still at the starting line arguing over whether to use titanium or some kind of space-age composite material that Boeing is using in the 787 Dreamliner.

papressblog: Minka: My Farmhouse In Japan documentary preview

by karlcow

In Fall 2007, Princeton Architectural Press published Minka: My Farmhouse In Japan the memoir of retired AP foreign correspondent John Roderick. Moved by the story of this remarkable house and the memories it contained, and with seed funding from the Graham Foundation, we began work on a documentary film about John, his adopted son architect Yoshihiro Takishita, and the 250-year old house they shared. John died in March 2008 at the age of 93. “Minka” is a meditation on place, architecture, memory and the meanings of home. It is a work in progress. For more information visit Andrew Blum’s website.
