Hello all,

The last couple of days, it has seemed like November has finally arrived and with it the certainty that winter is coming, in some form or another. I always have a sudden realization that ALL the leaves are gone. There is crisp cold air, days of slate-grey skies with wisps of clouds scudding past in the continuous breeze, the smell of maple wood smoke, and this morning, an inch of snow here in the Champlain Valley.

People here in the Northeast seem happier when snow comes in winter, for the most part. It gives you something to talk about when the days are short and kids love it until shoveling is needed. I also try to remember that like winter, spring is on its way as well. I can usually keep that good feeling going until about mid-March when I foolishly convince myself that it should be here already!

On to the goods — Dave and Carl offer up some good stuff this week, going places we haven’t gone very often here, but will be more often: hardware mods and enterprise-level stuff that you can apply to your own iOS world. Let us now what you think.

Thanks for reading.
