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+.
Just got some trackback spam:

Excerpt:Trackback spam.
Sure enough, it is! Thanks for the tip, mister.
[It turns out that the page that got spammed was entitled Trackback spam, and so the spammer used the title of my post in an attempt to defeat content filters. A happy coincidence.]
Atom version 1.0 is finished and nearly an IETF standard. What is the Atom syndication format, you ask?

Many feed readers already support Atom feeds (based on the 0.3 draft of the spec), and even Longhorn ??? Atom. Still confused?
