Another drawing

Amazing that I found time for this, but I completed another drawing. I'm always pretty hypercritical of my stuff -- I think a lot more time could have been devoted to this but I'm trying to work for speed and for the sake of practice. I'll probably keep off the computer for a while and practice in a sketchbook, where I'm less likely to spend too much time on little details and more likely to move on to the next subject. I do think this drawing was a nice attempt to show how coding is kind of cool, and how the mental experience that goes into it can put you in touch with some really deep levels inside yourself. (Oh -- the text in the image is a little snippet of code from Hermit, LOL!!!)

Turbo Geek-Mobile

Oh my...I seem to have turned my car into a Turbo Geek-Mobile by claiming that it's from the complex but intriguing land of C++. Still, you have to have some humor in your life, and showing off your favorite programming language -- on your car -- is sure to get some chuckles from those "in the know."

Open What?

Software people like the word "open". It implies all goodness: ability to meet expectations and give choice. An interesting point about Open Source vs. Open Standards, however, is that Open Source does not necessarily follow Open Standards. Open Standards, like the ANSI/ISO standard for C++, enable multiple vendors (and open-source developers) to produce compatible products.
