Just got my first iPhone app approved within a week. I guess it was checked out so quickly as it only has two pages.

Is the iPad a game changer?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:20:27 +0100

I didn't realize bit I use my 'work'-laptop most of the time at the same place and could probably do with a desktop. However, nowand then I like to take it with me or a presentation or to have access to email or documents. Looking at the image below I realise I could probably use an iPad for all word of site...

The company that invented lean production -- Jeffrey Liker

I probably bought this for the title and because I was curious what the Toyota way was. It shows the remarkable way of a japanese company to be very repetitive in designing quality cars with short lead time. Although I expected that they could do this because it was a family driven business, this was not the case as in the nineties the first president from outside the family took over. He even wasn't an engineer from profession. The book does not show a clear recipe to reproduce the success. If it was easy, many quality cars would be available. Keywords: lean, waste, kaizen,...

"Toyota first caught the world's attention in the 1980s, when it became clear that there was something special about Japanese quality and efficiency..." -- Jeffrey Liker

My first pic published from the phone. Color rendering is quite good and exelent exposure. No correction has been made.

Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street -- Michael Lewis

This book is about Michael starting a trainee program with Salomon Brothers, moving to London and getting a successful junk bonds broker. It's about young people on Wall Street making loads of money. Reading this book makes you feel you've chosen the wrong job (money wise). Looking back at the current banking crisis makes you feel that you can't have high enough tax rates for bankers and people like this.

A zoom into the Mandelbrot set, billions and billions times the size of the Universe. I like this as my first fractal experience was with this set. I programmed it using Turbo Pascal and a graphics lib for the Hercules Card made in assembler (monochrome 720x350). I was alway jealous of the great colors showed below that weren't possible on Hercules.
