My first tattoos were each done years apart. I printed a version out, put it in my wallet, and saw it every time I made a purchase. If I still loved it just as much a year later, I booked an appointment. Later tattoos are essentially privat

I know it's not always noticed, but the little touches (like the menu, when clicked, spinning to become the x to close the menu) make this absolutely delightful. I hadn't heard about omiword and will be giving it a go.

So it's essentially flappy bird, but any noise seems to make it "flap". I kept trying to adjust volume to adjust altitude, but noise = flap was the mindset that let me get pretty far.

We are a social species living in a world where everything is commodified, and to survive means trying to find a way to exist in that space. It creates a mindset where even a simple hobby needs to somehow create profit, because everything a

Counterbalance that with the (almost) equally annoying coworker who says "I don't know" as the immediate answer to any question! If there is any possibility of ambiguity or uncertainty, he will refuse to speculate or cite bes

MessagEase has been my go-to for years. I swapped this year to thumb-key when MessagEase went to a subscription. I love the ability to quickly copy, paste, select-all, type special characters, etc., all without having to do anything complic

The primary way to get in is to know a current user, and to have them invite you. Invitations are basically infinite, but anyone that is invited is associated with the account of the person inviting them. If I invite someone, I will be resp

That's the magic of human beings. Once the joke spreads to the point where the people who are in on it are flashing the symbol for the lolz, it no longer matters how it started or if there is no historical basis for the connection betw

Even in a place like HN, you can't escape the behaviors and attitudes that people pick up in other social spaces online. If someone gets used to reading ill intent into a comment, they don't suddenly stop doing that because they a

That's where I ended up. My Instinct has replaced my mechanical watches for every occasion except for the most formal. The app is decent, the metrics are awesome, and the accessories work without fuss (I pair mine with the Heart Rate s

I'll second the Kobo. I moved over to them after owning several Barnes & Noble's Nook e-readers and couldn't be happier. I have purchased several for others as gifts (which is better than just a recommendation!). I can ch

One of the most fascinating ones I have found (and something I keep meaning to copy one of these days) is Buster Benson's book of beliefs. The idea of having my basic principles written down sounds like a good one, but the fact that th

I hit the same thing. Nuke Anything (a pretty awesome Firefox extension) let me kill the popover and access the article.

Is there a reason you didn't just link directly to the website?

Buying a tribe also unlocks multiplayer (online), which is where the game really grabbed me. Playing with the spouse and siblings is a blast. The fact that you can play the game without having to pay anything is a bonus, but paying for some

Tak is relatively new but is pretty fun to play for an abstract game.

MessagEase is my favorite (and only) mobile keyboard. I am happy to see someone else using it in the wild!

Outside of keeping a Field Notes notebook on me at all times for jotting down ideas (or keeping score when playing a board game or cards), I have basically just copied and tweaked the entire system from http://plaintext-productiv

From the brief peak I have taken it looks interesting, but you seem to be missing a lot of pretty key information (privacy policy, a basic "about" page, etc.). Typing in my e-mail address doesn't quite make sense yet.

I mostly agree, except it can be almost impossible to find an interruption free environment. Many work in an open office (blech) and live in thin-walled apartments with music-pounding (or just floor stomping) neighbors. The only "silen

I love the idea! I have a few questions/concerns. When attempting to join a debate, how can you tell which side the other person has claimed? Once you click "join debate" is there a way to cancel that action before entering a

Hopefully it's just me, but nothing outside of the main page is loading. I am getting a "This site can't be reached" when attempting to see features, the about page, pricing, the download, etc.

We are currently using Tiddlywiki as the documentation for our Learning Management System. Even the non-technical administrators can navigate where they need to and do the things they need to do. It is insanely easy to work with.

Have you checked efficiency of yours against something like MessagEase (my current keyboard of choice)? http://www.exideas.com/ME/index.php This is my daily driver and, while the learning curve was rough, it has increa

While this feels like a right answer, I would say that you can go deeper when doing a real root cause analysis. The desire for money is rooted in a deeper problem. Money is just a means of exchange. What more money really gives you is acces

This is probably the best bet. There are quite a few options available with Firefox on Android that you won't get going with any other browser. Sure, you can download a specialized browser that _just_ blocks ads, but you're missin

This is a perfect response, with a simple addition to make it relevant to the original situation: - Your long term goals: Do you want a lot of different experiences quickly? Do you want a single place you will work at for years (however unl
