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+.
Wow, I just blew, like, an hour going through the complete archive of journal comix by Drew Weing. (They’re well-drafted, honest without being overly emo, and feel no need to be any funnier than real life actually is. In short, great journal comix! Too bad he only did ’em for a couple of years.)

So, more big geeknews (assuming of course that it’s non-fiction): Apple throwing over IBM for Intel. Remember when Apple (to say nothing of the larger Mac community) bashed Intel? During the transition from 680×0 to PowerPC, back in the clone days? I guess Steve is putting the last nail in the whole clone/PowerPC/PReP coffin here.
Apple […] will begin a phased transition to Intel’s chips, sources familiar with the situation said. Apple plans to move lower-end computers such as the Mac Mini to Intel chips in mid-2006 and higher-end models such as the Power Mac in mid-2007, sources said.
Gentlemen, start your cross-compilers!
