Stackoverflow is the most addictive developer's resource. Go check it out now! I use it myself, and I got to tell ya, they don't call it "crack overflow" for nothing.

Joel helped me find my current job. Check out the Joel on Software job board if you are not happy with yours.

Evernote is the best code, memo, photo, todo, wishlist application I've ever used. Mad props for making Memex real.

What's All this Then?

My name is Michael Krakovskiy, and this is my blog.

Here's what you might find interesting:
100 Views of the Empire State Building project: I try to take 100 interesting photos of Manhattan's (sadly) tallest building.

My Gastronomic Adventures: I eat weird food - from 13 year old New Coke to Durian and parasitic fungi.

My attempts to grow exotic plants: pineapples, coconuts, etc.

My photos, mostly of New York City.

My musings about architecture mostly illustrated with my own photos. Would you like to learn about a mental patient who died at 103 who served as a model for some very famous sculptures? How about Brooklyn's ugliest building? How about a wooden skyscraper?

I find myself frequently writing about logos. The most popular article I ever wrote is about the redesigns of the Starbucks logo.

I wrote a series of "Best Sci-Fi You Haven't Read" posts:

Psywarrior
Yes, Virginia There Is Synergy
Call Time Police - We've Got a Time Traveler

Other topics that interest me include NYPD, New York City subway system, Japan, and things made out of titanium. On top of all of that, I seem to be interested in pigeions and Rupert Murdoch.

Dear reader, please browse around. You are sure to find something interesting. I could really use some help in bringing in readership: subscribe to the rss feed, digg the stories (there's a convenient button at the bottom of every article), link to my blog from yours, write some comments. I put in a lot of effort into writing, and I really appreciate your attention.

If you don't want all this pseudo-intellectual and want some lolcats? Please don't go away. Here, I have that stuff too. Here, here's another. And another. And another. I lied about not posting cat pictures.



Apple Tries a New Ad Campaign

Came by this beauty of a BSOD today. It's not like it's a rarity to see one on this type of a display, but still.

There are whole galleries of this stuff, and, you know, if I were a person developing MS-powered billboards, I would change the color of BSOD text/background to black to spare Microsoft public embracement.

Don't you think it's a good idea, eh, Scoble?

No, Microsoft deserves the public embarassment, and then some. I mean, really.

How come nobody has created a slasher type horror flick with the name "Blue Screen of Death"? Isn't that a good idea. The happy group of clean cut college kids are vacationing in an abandoned camp/university/office park and each time one gets a BSoD a dude wearing a Bill Gates mask appears out of nowhere and hacks them to death with a knife.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. Maybe I could sell it. Forget that I said anything.

Yeah, they sure do. Would be fun to see one of those screens infected by spyware.

This is "Query Letters I Love"-quality material.
