Even though I work as a designer, I have been coding cocoa in secret for a few years, and now I'm looking for some way to get into the "pro" coding life too. I'm really anxious for the second part of this interview. This is a great post.

I had written a lap timer for track cycling (kilo and pursuit). While my wife was in labor I pulled it out and started timing the contractions. Big mistake. Huge. Especially since the thing about my lap timer, it told you how off you were from your goal and mean lap times, which as it turned out was an even HUGER mistake. "honey, that last contraction was 22 seconds off the pace ... ". Was that the sound of an idiot wanna-be-cocoa programmer getting pounded? Why yes, yes it was.
