This is very cool, I’ve always admired Carmack for his technical abilities and his abilities to quickly get down and dirty with any new technology. For example in his post about mobile games he starts off with “dusting off my java in a nutshell book” and then talks in details about java’s threading issues, mobile latency issues, java bytecode disassembly, portability issues, timing issues, circuit switching standards.

Very refreshing reading and definitely something to look up to. I wish all tech people had this much intimate knowledge of the platforms they work on everyday. I know that at least I will try even harder to achieve this from now on.

The only thing disappointing about the site is the lack of a feed to subscribe to, RSS, Atom, whatever so I’ve bookmarked the page in http://del.icio.us/kerneljack instead.
