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+.
Already, links to the 2003 diesel guestfest are starting
to roll in: comxpedia, Scott
McCloud (!!). And it’s only Monday. Note that we all owe thanks
to Jason Alderman, who orchestrated the
whole thing and graciously invited me to participate again.
Did you know that I’m doing another dieselsweeties guest comic?
Perhaps you recall the one I did last year. This
one will be even better, I promise, and it airs next Tuesday, the 25th.
Watch this space!
Chris and Alicia‘s cat Gobo has
learned a unique skill:
Our cats (sappy photo album forthcoming) have a favorite toy,
affectionately known as the Vibrating Hedgehog (I tried to find a
picture online, but Google didn’t return the links I was expecting).
Anyway, it was almost bigger than they were as kittens, but both Gobo
and Iris are big enough now that they periodically stalk, kill, and
prance about with said wiggly rodent.
The only problem with the toy is that its drawstring nature makes for
limited playtime. Each pull sets the hedgehog to shaking for about five
seconds, after which point it just sort of lays there. It seems,
however, that Gobo has found a novel solution…and we have it on
tape
