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.
