Why the Founders Visa could suck

If you have been following blogs of people associated with the technology and entrepreneurship industry (yes, entrepreneurship is also an industry) with any level of intent, you MUST have heard of the Founders Visa movement.

In this post, I express my opinions about the whole movement. To me, it’s just a disaster from the get go. Unless it’s modified to actually make permanent residency easier to obtain, the Founders Visa would be just another failed attempt by the industry to reform America’s immigration system.

I have always been one to experiment with new ideas and technologies, and I am proud to say that, albeit late, I am now going to actively use Posterous. This blog has always served to be a bigger and more thorough outlet for my thoughts. The Posterous aspect of it would serve to expose my other side – the side that takes casual pictures, does casual business through emails, and is often on the move but doesn’t want to let the thought die.
I hope you enjoy the new – posterous.cerebrawl.com!

Should you use Interface Builder?

Ever since I started out with iPhone development, I have seen a lot of debate online about the pros and cons of using the Interface Builder tool that comes as a part of the developer toolkit for Mac and iPhone development. In this post, I put forward my opinion that I believe is also the opinion of seasoned Mac developers. And that is – try to use Interface Builder for your Mac/iPhone apps as much as possible. There is a reason Apple has spent so many years perfecting it.

The article rebukes certain ill-conceived notions and aims to encourage the reader to seek out the pros and cons of using IB on their own on a case by case basis.

iPhone development

Since 2008, I have been trying to find enough off time to get heavily involved in developing applications and services for the best phone I have ever used. This is a new category that, starting today, would be a reflection of my learnings and experiences.

It’s been a while…

Marking my return to blogging after more than a year. It has been an eventful 2008/09, and this also marks a move from my older domain to cerebrawl.com.

I have gained more understanding of how small business in America works. I have seen the economy take one of the worst nosedives in my lifetime, and seen desperate efforts to bring it back on track. I have been humbled. I have come out stronger.

Riding the Metro to work and I see two females just in my car reading the book. I wonder what makes it so popular even after so much time.
