#CurrentlyReading - The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win

Fri, 24 May 2024 00:00:00 +0800

I first brought the paperback edition a few years ago for my business trip. For some reasons I gave it away without finish reading it (I seldom to have patience to finish a whole book). But it was a nice coincidence at the time as I was the PM in my last company working on an idea incurbation platform, our team worked like a startup within an established organization. What happened in the book reminiscent a lot to our project. #CurrentlyReading #Kindle

Happy Birthday Newton!

Tue, 31 May 2022 00:00:00 +0800

It is the 30th anniversary since the launch of the Newton Original MessagePad (OMP). I brought mine in 1997 and it was my first Apple computer - back then we called them Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) - I was no programmer but I was really interested in the platform I even brought a book to learn NewtonScript development. Mind you, I didn’t even have the Newton Toolkit software (separate purchase). So at the end, I never done any development work on Newton.

Am I the only one to bet that the new HomePod would merge with Apple TV (the hardware) following the evolution of iPod? Is it a coincidence that a HomePod with battery power was cancelled because the new HomePod would have a cable out and connect to your TV?
