There is a certain beauty in man-made things. In some ways, that beauty cannot match the extant world. In others, that beauty is unparalleled because it exhibits the best qualities man and woman are able to achieve with their own hands.
Art and Architecture are oft-cited examples, and we recognize this, conveying social and financial [...]
I’ve been doing this “technology” thing for a number of years now, and each career change I’ve made has fallen into one of two categories.

Last month, I blogged about how much I love KnockoutJS, a fantastic JavaScript MVVM framework for creating rich, dynamic UIs. In that post, I also shared my only real qualms with Knockout: the exclusive use of data-bind attributes for binding a view to the underlying ViewModel. And while there is much about [...]

A few weeks ago, I posted a screencast overview of KnockoutJS, a JavaScript MVVM framework. Shortly after that, I published this post, where I share my take on using Knockout in a more unobtrusive style, eschewing the standard data-bind syntax in favor of a modelBinder object that creates those bindings for me.
