ETech: Tutorials

Every once in a while Brady sends around the ETech tutorial signup numbers and we scratch our heads at the vagaries of human desire. For example, who'd have thought that iPhone development would outsell Kathy Sierra by 2:1? As of the last report on the 20th, we only had three spaces left in Brian JepsonTom Igoe's Making Things Talk tutorial, which was size-limited because of the hardware. And in the Marc-vs-marc category, debugging is winning over food hacking. This suits me, because (sorry Marc!) I plan to be learning about amateur molecular gastronomy on Monday afternoon. I figure I can always hire someone who knows how to run DTrace on my EC2 box, but if I don't learn how to make green tea-vodka-lime foam with liquid nitrogren then nobody in my village will! (I justify my food-hacking interest by saying that it's an example of how the trickle-down of scientific equipment and skills brings biological hacks within every person's grasp, although it's also a good way to fill my belly and please my palate)
