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+.
Dear Secretary Powell:
When I last saw you in Kabul in January, 2002 you arrived to officially open
the US Embassy that I had helped reestablish in December, 2001 as the first
political officer. At that time I could not have imagined that I would be
writing a year later to resign from the Foreign Service because of US
policies.
You know, all the CSS for dsandler.org is really screwed up. (Notice that the
“dS” glyph underlying the menu at right, well, it’s just not there anymore.)
And you know what? I’m just not interested in fixing it at this point. I
have a few redesigns for the site sitting on the shelf, anyway, and at some
point I’ll deploy one, along with my new weblog infrastructure (very
exciting!). But there’s just no time now, between scheduling movers, filing
taxes, repairing my car, oh, and my day job. So you’ll simply have to wait.
Désolé.
Well, there goes the neighborhood. Ambrosia is starting to port
their games to Windows. (seen on /.)
Have you been keeping up with Get Your War On? You
should!
Woman: Why does George W. Bush get everything he wants? Is it
because he prays for it?Man: What are you talking about? Didn’t you see the press
conference? He prays for peace, my anonymous clip-art co-worker, he prays
for peace—and he’s sure not getting that.
As a rule, I try to stay away from Fark. But occasionally, their
Photoshop contests are hilarious, like this one on what
movies we’d see if the MPAA forced each one to pass a “G” rating.
Look for “High Plains Mister” (Fred Rogers, drifting into town),
“BOO-BOOFACE” (starring Al Pacino and a super-soaker), “S.W.” (original
title: “S.F.W.”), and “A Crayon Orange”. Oh, also, “Forgiven” (isn’t that
sweet!) and “G” (starring Vin Diesel).
If you’re not already reading the BBC reporters’
weblog, you must.
