I enjoy taking pictures of everything, golfing when it’s not snowing & listening to music. When not outside, I’m on my MacBook Pro, usually in xCode or vim making something happen. I almost always say what I think, and share what I like. I like shoes more than you can imagine (yes, more than your girlfriend).

ParseKit - Cocoa Objective-C Framework for parsing, tokenizing and language processing ParseKit is a Mac OS X Framework written by Todd Ditchendorf in Objective-C 2.0 and released under the MIT Open Source License. ParseKit is suitable for use on Mac OS X Leopard or iPhone OS. The framework is an Objective-C implementation of the tools described in \”Building Parsers with Java\” by Steven John Metsker. ParseKit includes additional features beyond the designs from the book and also some changes to match common Cocoa/Objective-C conventions. However, these changes are relatively superficial, and Metsker\'s book is the best documentation available for this framework.
Low Level Bit Hacks You Absolutely Must Know - good coders code, great reuse I decided to write an article about a thing that is second nature to embedded systems programmers - low level bit hacks. Bit hacks are ingenious little programming tricks that manipulate integers in a smart and efficient manner. Instead of performing some operation (such as counting the 1 bits in an integer) by looping over individual bits, these programming nuggets do the same with one or two carefully chosen bitwise operations.
