Raspberry Pi 400 🔗

I’ve been waiting a long time for something like this to come along. It shouldn’t take that long for it to become available in my usual supplier. Someone’s getting one for Christmas, now that the Arduino interest is starting to pick up some steam.


Things Are Moving

For a while, I was trying to get back to publishing some content in this space. As things start to come together on other parts, I finally found some time to overhaul the site. After some changes, I settled with Hugo. Pretty fast, simple.

For the theme, I’ve made some modifications to the Kiera theme by Daniel Saunders.

As you can easily see, I’ll have to check how to display links in excerpts. Soon.


Cello - Higher level programming in C 🔗

The high level stucture of Cello projects is inspired by Haskell, while the syntax and semantics are inspired by Python and Obj-C. Cello isn’t about Object Orientation in C, but I hope that with Cello I’ve turned C into something of a dynamic and powerful functional language which it may have once been. Although the syntax is pleasant, Cello isn’t a library for beginners. It is for C power users, as manual memory management doesn’t play nicely with many higher-order concepts. Most of all Cello is just a fun experiment to see what C would look like when Hacked to it’s limits.

A nice experiment taking C to a whole other level.


Game Dev Tycoon - Best anti Piracy move ever! 🔗

In a move that has genious written all over Greenheart Games took some measures to try and reduce piracy of their new game, Game Dev Tycoon.

It’s a shame that most guys that got the “cracked” version don’t get the irony in it.


Unheap - a tidy repository of jQuery plugins 🔗

The place to go when you need a jQuery plugin. The beautifull great UI/UX makes it the best of it’s kind.


Sensus - App Enhancing Case 🔗

After the Leap Motion ’s here’s another device that promises a whole other level of possibilities, this time to iOS applications.

bq. Sensus is a smartphone case that introduces touch technology to the back and right side of a protective case.

I’m patiently waiting for the end of May to see if I can get my hands in one of those. Imagine all the things you can do with it…


Introducing A New Article Design - The New York Times 🔗

Looking good.


Apps Are Creating New Jobs 🔗

A good read about the services revolving around specific applications in the different mobile stores, markets or whatever it is yours is called can be found here.


Campus Quad iPhone app 🔗

We developed a social app for a new startup called Campus Quad that lets students explore what’s happening on campus – in real time.

SoftFaçade managed not only the create a great looking application[1] but also to create the best Case Study I’ve ever put my eyes on. Nice pretty animation that result in a timeline of the entire process.

1 - According to the screenshot on the site. The fact that it’s only for US schools stop you at the first screen.


Code.org | Anybody can learn 🔗

Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code.

I have mixed feelings about the concept. Why not design, art, dance? I’m sure there are more important things that students should have access to before.
