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 scene of light sources, lenses, and light-field sensors. The

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. Passing a number to another number?! (define (mult

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've got to say, I real

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.xhtml#g_t5_002... Scratch and Quart

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 great, if I do say so myself.

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 into their next iPad. Who should I pray to for that wish?

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 book. The first one we are doing is SICP. You meet up with v

"...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 generations are in a 25-year span?

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 busy writing that I couldn't actually think about the lect

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 makes sure things are pixel-integral, no matter the scale fa

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 my app. We find you someone and you have a good conver

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 first courses. I am reading it for my first time. It is an enlig

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 myself (even if the solution has been known for thousands of yea

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 because it is fun. The book I am reading (Journey Throug
