However, the overwhelming response to the announcement yesterday was [...]

Quandary (part 1)
I wish to pose a question to the masses, particularly to other available software developers.

Eclim and Android
Since deciding to start working with Android and see just what I would be able to accomplish with the SDK and devices, my biggest hurdle so far has been Eclipse.

Don’t Break the Chain
After reading this post on LifeHacker, I couldn’t escape the feeling that I should start doing something like this. I mean, it works for Jerry Seinfeld, it can’t be all that bad.
