The Emperor of Ice Cream
A poem by Wallace Stevens
Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

I'm pretty frustrated right now because I forgot everything about computer science over the summer and I can't get my second lab from my AP compsci class to work.
played around with this, liked the tones, thought I would post it anyway-- even though it isn't very... photostream worthy?
first people picture ever? YESSS

I think I've arrived. I'm studying finite automata for the initial chapter of my Programming Languages class. Not shown is my iTunes playlist (Division Bell at the moment.) On the left display is OmniGraffle with an automata stencil from dsandler at Rice.edu (thanks!) and on the right display is JFLAP, an app out of Duke.edu that I'm using to validate my work and experiment to understand the notation better. The textbook is a bit terse and sussing out the notation style rules took some re-reading. I'm fascinated with this stuff - and it ties directly back to things I was curious about a few years ago related to computational linguistics and NLP. Basic, yes, but one starts at the beginning - no?

I was at the astoundingly massive San Jose MLK library last weekend doing some research and looking at the various thesis publications on the shelves. It was interesting looking at SJSU master's thesis books that were printed 50 years ago. This was back when San Jose was known agriculturally as "The valley of the heart's delight" long before it became "Silicon Valley".
Once I found the CompSci and EE sections, I started scanning book titles. I did not recognize the word used in this book's title, so I pulled it out to investigate. I was quite surprised to find that 7/8ths of the pages were chopped out to make room for a square pocket on the back cover. Oh dear, that's not what I think that is, is it?!?! Reading the introduction on the book's few pages revealed the author simply stating "Please insert this disk into your computer and you can read all of the project research via hypertext linked documents." +10 points on using an open non-proprietary documentation standard, however epic fail due to data rot.
So, a show of hands, how many of you remember these cursed zip disks. I'd be especially curious to know if anyone still has functional hardware (used in the past year or two) that could actually read this media?
It's sad that I was able to read with ease thesis books 50 years old, but a thesis that's just over 10 years old is completely unreadable… [shrug and shake head]
Ask YC: Can a startup entrepreneur not be a coder?
"... Can a startup entrepreneur not be a coder? ..."
Yes. Mitch Kapor was underestimated and you can use this to your advantage. He was seen as a novice non-tech in his Startup, recognised this & profited from it. Read about Mitch Kapor ~ www.kapor.com/bio/ and I've written more about this here: www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/2296168310/
Some time later a response ...
"... How is Kapor a non-coder? He was writing software throughout all of his early endeavors. He didn't outsource development of Visiplot and Visitrend. ..."
In hindsight you are making a similiar mistake the professional programmers at Software Arts did. Kapor didn't train as an engineer. He didn't have the pedigree of working with technology, startups. He had a great number of non-technical attributes that I think non-coders should utilise and exploit
- insight into people
- ideas of what is wrong with things & the solution
- business nous & how to extract money from buyers
- empathy for people & staff
- the determination to move good ideas forward
When I infer he wasn't a coder it was through research, not mere assertion. [0], [1], [2]
"... I'm having a hard time imagining how Kapor could possibly be considered a non-technical/non-coding founder. He may not have gone to school for it...but most of us didn't learn to hack in school (if you didn't know how to hack until you got to school you obviously don't love computers enough to be a hacker). ...
Once again. If you check his bio [3], track record (consider Chandler) [4] he is anything but the stereotypical hacker. He was not a coder who eats, breathes algorythms for breakfast. [5] It doesn't mean he didn't understand technology. He did some CompSci as part of his multi-disciplinary undergraduate degree. What made/makes Kapor good in my view was an amalgam of non-technical characteristics that make him a great entrepreneur to study and emulate.
"... So, sure Kapor hired additional developers, and his genius probably lies more in his dealings with other people than computers, but he was clearly a hacker from very early on, and one certainly can't hold him up as an example of an entrepreneur without any technical ability. ..."
I'm not trying to say he has no technical ability. I'm saying that in this case an Entrepreneur succeeded in spite of what is considered by many to be the prime requirement of Entrepreneurship. The current mantra is, "if you are non-technical, give up". If anything, Kapors success came more from his insight into human psychology and business nous than the mere sheer technical ability to code.

[1] Mitch Kapor, Bio: Though I found he did some Computer Science as part of a multi-disciplinary degree. To me this is the interesting bit because he obviously knew just enough about computers and a lot about other related areas. By not knowing enough CompSci did this allow a broader view of what improvements could be made.

It's Easter and time to dig out "Life of Brian". The shot above is of the "late, great Graham Chapman' of Monty Python fame from the "Life of Brian" book I picked up in the early 80's.
