2nd grade lesson

It's been more than fifty years since Georges Braque lent Henri Cartier-Bresson a small volume called Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel. Although ostensibly a guide to spritual practice, Cartier-Bresson recognized the book for what it was. "It's a manual of photography," Cartier- Bresson told Braque, already well on his way to becoming a zen master of the candid moment, the sort of chap who says under his lens, "I don't take photographs. It is the photograph which has to take me."

Basic Anxiety is Happening All the Time, by Chogyam Trungpa

Chogyam Trungpa, for all his faults, was one hell of a kick-ass dharma teacher. His books have had a huge influence on me, especially his notion of "warrior heart." In this teaching, which is an excerpt from a new book, he talks about the human condition, the Four Noble Truths, and the cure for suffering. By the way, if you aren't reading Shambhala Times , you should be - it's a great site posting material fromn the Shambhala tradition, and generally good dharma. Basic A

Architectural Patterns for Silverlight-on-SharePoint

The main challenge in silverlight development on sharepoint that this poses is that the code in the Silverlight control runs in the user's Web browser, and not on the server like a normal Web Part. Therefore, unlike a normal Web Part, the Silverlight UI does not have access to the SharePoint object model. The aim, then, is to somehow provide an infrastructure that enables communication between the client-side Silverlight UI and server-side code that has access to SharePoint objects and data. M

What are the Individual Parts Of Custom Web Development

When it comes to websites, there are various options for you to choose from. Most of the decisions you will make about the look of your web site will largely be determined by the amount of money you are willing and able to spend on the proposed site. While you might enter the design phase of creating your custom website design with many preconceived notions about how you want your site to look, your budget will invariably decide what is allowed to stay and what features will be scrapped in reg

Adobe Web Design Training - Making The Right Choice 2009

by Jason Kendall Should you fancy being a web designer, then you need training in Adobe Dreamweaver. We also advise that students get an in-depth understanding of the entire Adobe Web Creative Suite, which incorporates Flash and Action Script, to have the facility to facilitate Dreamweaver professionally as a web designer. This can take you on to becoming an ACP (Adobe Certified Professional) or an ACE (Adobe Certified Expert). The building of the website is merely a fraction of what you

Aptana Studio: A Worthy Replacement For Dreamweaver

I have been a great fan of Dreamweaver. Even after I migrated to Linux Ubuntu, I still diligently use Dreamweaver (under Wine) for all my coding projects. To say the truth, running Dreamweaver in Linux with wine is not a great experience after all. At times, its performance can be lagging and the font and interface can be rather ugly and unmatching to the whole OS theme. The only reason that I am still using it is because I have not been able to find a worthy replacement for it. Quanta Plus, blu

Video: Windows Mobile 6.5 now with less Honeycomb, more Trix

If you, like us, thought the honeycomb UI in Windows Mobile 6.5 was a solution to a problem that didn't exist then you're in luck; after some internal backlash from its own employee beta testers, Microsoft has tweaked the UI making it "a lot more usable." According to Loke Uei Tan, anyway -- a Microsoft senior technical product manager demonstrating the updated WinMo interface at MIX09. While the enlarged, more finger-friendly icons retain the exact same off-set distribution, gone are the rigid

MMassively Parallel Computing :-)

I am a fan of BOINC , which uses distributed computing to solve massive problems (some very serious, like finding a cure to certain types of cancer, others more abstract, like finding prime numbers). The problem however is ease of use and distribution. You have to (a) know that this software exists and (b) know how to download and install it. An other option would be to use a platform which is already widely distributed to make the delivery easier. Some of the options would be: Flash
