This blog chronicles my travails through Apple-land, as I learn to ride the Objective Steed, with only the experience of the much tamer Java Monkey and Ruby Train to guide me. Depending on your level of skill with said steed, this blog might read as:
- An adventure blog, wherein you shall follow the dauntless hero in his quest to chart the vast expanse of Apple-land, and cry in empathetic agony as his steed oft throws him off, displeased with his mediocre riding skills.
- A puzzle blog, wherein each post shall hold clues to some exciting secret, which will be cleverly disguised by misdirections and omissions, making it your task to find the diamonds in the charcoal.
- A nostalgia blog, wherein the descriptions will poignantly bring back memories you thought long vanished, and make you relive your own formative years in Apple-land.
- A comedy blog, wherein the travails of the hapless hero as fate pummels him with unexpected twists and turns elicit much laughter, and no small measure of sympathy.
- A farcical blog, wherein the unrealistic level of stupidity and coincidence required for thing to go wrong just so is offset by the hilarious consequences on the unsuspecting cast.
Enjoy as you may. And let me know if you do.

Enjoying the blog. I work for a company that is in the midst of an OS X changeover. I am a Windows programmer who has really taken to OS X and am also learning to program Cocoa with very little C. I am mostly a VB (old style) and C# programmer although I have some Java experience and have messed in C a little. I am finding Cocoa both exciting and infuriating. Right now I am building a working prototype of our main enterprise application which is also my learning platform. So far so good (I swiped your search menu pretty blatantly BTW and will give credit in code) and I look forward to the adventure. I like the idea of your blog and hope you post both your success and failure as they are both helpful. There are not a lot of good resources out there for Cocoa, thanks for contributing.
