Rocking Horse Ranch review - Spring 2013

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:29:24 +0000

My family and I went to Rocking Horse Ranch in Highland, NY from Sunday 3/31/13 to Tuesday, 4/2/13. Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back again. I was a little apprehensive about going, since a friend had gone and complained that it was “boring and old,” but that wasn’t our experience at all.

We left Long Island around 11 AM and arrived at the ranch around 1 PM. Check-in was scheduled for 4 PM, but we got our room number around 2 PM. It’s important to keep in mind that on your check-in day, breakfast and lunch are not included, but dinner is. We were aware of this (RHR states this plainly) but when we were eating lunch on our check-out day, we saw lots of people who had just checked in trying to get in for lunch and acting shocked that they couldn’t (on your check-out day you have breakfast and lunch, but not dinner, so you get all the meals you’ve “paid” for).

JavaScript: The Good Parts

I just finished reading JavaScript: The Good Parts, one of the best programming books I’ve read. The ending is fantastic:

We see a lot of feature-driven product design in which the cost of features is not properly accounted. Features can have a negative value to consumers because they make the products more difficult to understand and use. We are finding that people like products that just work. It turns out that designs that just work are much harder to produce than designs that assemble long lists of features.
