I'm a tinkerer with technology, and occasionally strike lucky with it. I co-chair the O'Reilly Open Source Convention and I'm in charge of designing O'Reilly's conference software platform, Expectnation.
I've written a few computer books, most recently "Learning Rails", in collaboration with my old friend and co-conspirator Simon St.Laurent.

Quora looks like another StackOverflow Q&A site, but has a few things that make it interesting. Chief among these is the best looking web typography I've seen in a long while. It's a pleasure to read, and evokes a professional aesthetic that I think is reflected in the site's tone and content.
Are you a graphic designer? Do you work with letters? Do you know the difference between a font and a typeface? Do your eyes light up when conversations turn to ems, kerning, and baseline grids? If you answered yes to these questions, then The Typography Manual for the iPhone and iPod Touch is for you!
Oh, oh, I think I've died and gone to heaven. Now I can take my type fetish along with me in my pocket!
The Typographic Manual is exactly the kind of thing that shows off the kind of application/content hybrid publishing model that the iPhone is such an excellent platform for.
A thing of beauty.
