I can't figure out what that one is supposed to mean!

In short, we’ll trade you iCloud for something great. Love this subtle dig at iCloud.

I took a class that explained light field photography, but I thought understanding the concepts through static diagrams was difficult. I made a little Mac app that simulates a 2D s…

When I was doing this exercise with a friend on Understudy, he found solutions to multiplication and exponentiation too. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the exponentiation.…

I've been making a homemade version of Soylent ( http://www.cookingfor20.com/2013/06/18/hacker-school-soylent... ) since September. It makes up one or two of my meals each day. I'v…

I am doing the chapter on register machines now. I love the diagrams that show the controller and the data path of the machine. See http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/html/5_002e1.xh…

I can certainly see those as the next texts that we add!

I tried to tutor my niece in math using Google Hangouts and various whiteboard apps, but drawing with the mouse / trackpad was pretty difficult. Now we use Understudy and it works …

I am the other guy working on Understudy. The iPad has been the best platform for Understudy so far, but I still have my fingers crossed that Apple builds a better touch screen int…

Philipp Schmidt is a big proponent of peer-to-peer learning, and he calls it a pyramid scheme himself. :P http://dmlcentral.net/blog/philipp-schmidt/great-peer-learni...

I am working on a startup, Understudy, that tries to address this problem. Our approach is one-on-one conversations. We find you someone to meet with each week as you go through a …

"...numbers that are at or near the highest levels of political and religious disaffiliation recorded for any generation in the last quarter-century." Seriously. How many generatio…

For me, I found the best was when I had the notes printed out before class. I would annotate them with extra thoughts as I watched the lecture. This kept me engaged, but not so bus…

It turns out Bitcoin was in our hearts all along.

I would still recommend using Auto Layout, even if you are laying out your views without Interface Builder. (Full disclosure, I helped write Auto Layout.) One advantage is that it …

Very cool! I have also been making an (iPad) app to help people get through SICP and I somehow didn't run into this. If anyone is interested in reading SICP now, you should try out…

I'll bet life was more romantic before spoken language. People weren't busy talking or thinking in anything but emotion and memories of senses. Let's long for those days.

If anyone wants to read SICP and would like a buddy to read it with, let me know! I am working on an iPad app for people to study together and we are trying SICP as one of our firs…

This is great. The animations and interactive content is greatly needed in mathematics. One of my favorite parts of math is puzzling over problems and coming up with solutions myse…

Am I the only one that wants pictures of these mice flying down in their cardboard and tissue paper parachutes?

Sounds cool!

Working hard at math might be necessary, but it doesn't have to be painful! I have found learning about the history of math has me puzzling over difficult concepts on my own time b…
