Andrew Flanagan's Blog. It's a reflection of our culture I suppose. We're interested in all things new, all things beautiful, all things that tickle our emotions, our senses, and our desires. 3D TV is now the rage (or maybe it's fading now? Imagine, seeing movies that are a little bit more like real life. Our culture is one of vicarious, disconnected participation. Why climb a mountain when you can see an IMAX movie that shows a pro doing it? Is our culture purposeless beyond the next consumption high?

Now your code is out there and it’s ridiculously slow - the whole company looks bad when you deliver crap like this.
