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+.

As promised, TiVo now allows networks to delete their own shows off your hard drive if they think you’re keeping them too long. No more hanging onto last season’s Lost finale until the next season’s première, or even to watch during the dry summer months.
