I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
Palm
acquires assets from Be for $11MM in PALM while hiring away key
talent.
Dave Winer has written an epitaph.
There’s a story at the dot.
c|net:
“The Palm-Be deal marks a rather inglorious end to the company that Gassee launched when he left Apple in 1990.”
In other news, the previous head of the platform group has
resigned.
I love that there are people who have discovered technique to
developing a psychological addition to caffeine:
The key to caffeine addiction is to take it regularly, on the clock. Have
a large cup of coffee about 45 minutes after you wake up every day; your
performance will be accelerated, and after a couple weeks you’ll be
worthless without it.

My wife is in Houston this weekend. I’m so bored!
From one of my recently-de-employed colleagues:
"Ford," he said, "how many escape capsules are there?"
"None," said Ford.
Zaphod gibbered.
"Did you COUNT them?" he yelled.
"Twice," said Ford....ran into it in a rumor file, figured I had to pass it back to /someone/
Hmm. I guess I wasn’t really clear on this point: I’m still employed
(where I have been for just over a year). The waters ahead are uncharted,
and we’re all a little seasick, but we do like sailing.
