But Not Starring Jackie Chan

This restaurant at the airport struck me as a good title for a sequel to a poorly dubbed martial arts movie with vaguely supernatural themes.
Raining
Posted by Nirav | Filed under Texas
A humid, sun-drenched rain oversaturates the colors in Houston, Texas, reminding me that I haven’t seen rain for three months. Here in the States, rain is generally seen as a omen of bad events to come, but I prefer the auspiciousness that the Indian culture attaches to it. I (almost) always feel invigorated and alive when it rains.

Sorry for the lack of posting; I’m coming up on my twelfth flight of the summer, believe it or not. Lots to do. In any case, this made me laugh.

This fall is going to be great. The games I’m looking forward to:

- Rock Band 2 (October 19)
- Guitar Hero: World Tour (October 26)

- Left 4 Dead (November 4)
- Gears of War 2 (November 7)
- Call of Duty: World at War (November 11)

I guess class will have to wait.
Cocoa Camp
Posted by Nirav | Filed under Apple, Bay Area, Coding, iPhone
I’m at Cocoa Camp this week, a five-day intensive series of courses hosted by Apple about Objective-C and the Cocoa application development framework. I won’t be posting here until I’m done, mostly because I’m in class all day at Infinite Loop and everything I learn is covered under the iPhone non-disclosure agreement. That probably tells you enough about what we’re learning.
In the meantime, follow me on Twitter, where I dribble out minutia far too often.
