I have been writing intensively over the last weekend. I managed to compile a write-up for the small project assignment for my System Architecture class, where our team did a critical analysis of the Mac OS X architecture. It was a really fun paper to write since operating systems and UNIX system programming are subjects that I am interested and familiar with. As much as I had been ranting about Mac and disagree with many of Apple's human interface choices (like the 1-button mouse and the ridiculous copy folder behavior), I find the Mac OS X an elegant design. At the system level, Mac OS X has integrated open-source technologies with closed-proprietary technologies very well. Underneath that snazzy looking Aqua interface, which is designed entirely in-house at Apple, is an open-source UNIX-based layer that works well. Anyway, it was a fun assignment and there is so much more that I could have written. Now, it is up to Greg to edit and polish up the paper for submission on Wednesday.

I have also spent significant time last weekend on composing a business executive summary for the $1k competition with the same people from last year's $50k team. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing exercise for $1k competition as it has allowed me to think about creating a business to pursue opportunities in the marketplace.
