About jdhouse4
In early 2009, I started AmericaSpace.com, a blog about space exploration. Some say that the best way to grow a start-up is for the founder to hire the talent he or she does not possess. In my case, that talent-deficiency list is long. But following that advice, AmericaSpace has evolved into a space news outlet with 15 very talented people. It is they who make it hum and have through their hard work built viewership to 60K unique visits monthly.
I am the founder and co-organizer of CocoaCoder.org, a group founded in 2003 to promote Mac OS X, and later iOS, application development. It has over 420 members. CocoaCoder.org meets weekly and presents on both hard and soft topics.
In 2000-2001, I worked at JPL, Section 312 as a C++ programmer. If I can say I hate a programming language, then C++ would fit that description.
In 1993-1996, I was co-founder of HouseWorks, an Austin, Texas based gaming company. I was the designer of all things, from story board to actors.

A few massive home hacks and I agree that the gov't will step-in. Personally, I'd rather have the FCC than the NSA regulate wireless security.

There are two things that can break IoT, security and fracturing. But security is a necessary condition for IoT to succeed. I know Apple has surprised many of the companies that wa…

Anything that changes NYC's economy to make it less dependent upon those who play with money is a good thing. I'm even happier that tech companies are finding NYC a place with plen…

This is such a bad idea. China? Russia? Those two countries should have a say in running the Internet proportional to their citizens' right to free speech. So China would have no s…

People should be happy for Zuck and Pricilla. Any claims by those who don't know Pricilla that this is other than for love should really get a check-up on their humanity. Not that …
