Brent Simmons’ weblog. I write NetNewsWire, a free RSS/Atom reader for Mac OS X.

I dreamed I met Steve Jobs. I shook his hand — but he had had his right hand replaced by a small foot with small curly toes.

Though surprised, I shook it, and said, “Wow, how innovative!”

“Thanks, Brent,” he said, and smiled, graciously.

(Then something something, I forget, airplanes or alligators or something.)

I learned programming way back in 1980 on an Apple II Plus, and have been using Apple computers ever since.

I work for NewsGator Technologies on NetNewsWire. NetNewsWire has won two Macworld Eddy awards and an O’Reilly Innovators Award.

I like cats and spaghetti and swimming in the ocean.
