   Well, it was two weekends but, yeah, pretty much! Not to forget the giants on whose shoulders I stand on to make it: Rails, Heroku, gems like Paperclip, S3, Bootstrap. The list goes on and on and on...

   Hi debacle, it makes sense, if you already do select clothes for your wife. Of course, you can always also just aggregate links in an email, but the game mechanics at Flair do make it fun indeed :)

   Thanks, I hear you -- For the first iteration (and validation) of the product we think the simple, woodsy version does the job really well. For now. The issue I personally have with LEDs is that they can get annoying to the people around yo

    Greetings, having lived with 2 roommates for a good time period, I was very interested checking out how you are trying to solve some of the issues surrounding it. Here is my immediate feedback: 1. Overall looks good, professional enough to

    Right now, it's about the experience of spending. Having fun with it, be seduced and/or rational about it. It's open-ended in that regard. After a while, under 'My Stuff', you find a more general breakdown of your spending which may or may

    For NYC people, there is http://genspace.org/ which has intro courses several times a year. You will also make bacteria glow and smell like bananas!

    And this one I like a lot, too: From fennec to MC Escher :) http://picrhyme.com/images/205/history On a sidenote: I found that a lot of my verses end up with MC Escher.

    PS: Novamind's shortcuts are easy, too: If you have a node selected and * hit <TAB> it creates and preselects a new child node. * hit <SHIFT><TAB> it creates and preselects a new sibling node.

    I'm a big fan and user of mind maps and I like what you have created. But there is one thing missing - unless I missed it: Keyboard shortcuts to create sibling and childnodes from any given currently selected node. The reasoning is that min

    Also, there is this extension here that supports more goals: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ocnjckohbfdjdlhf... -- It works a bit differently but could be interesting as well.

    edit -- First of all, thank you for giving it a spin! The reasoning to have the form available is that I think you should be able to change your goal as you please. It could be hidden though and only shown when you opt out of the current on

    I understand that, and a configuration page could take care of that. Do you think that when you're in your webmail, you would not want to see your goal? For me that's one of the places I would want to be reminded, but, again, I understand.

    Thanks! Just checked, I still had the .git folders that got packaged, too. The .crx file is now updated at only around 400K.

    Very good advise! I was in a similar situation and format, and rehearsed my presentation 100++ times. Worked out well. In the minutes before the presentation: Breathe. Exhaling longer than inhaling will calm your nervous system substantiall

    Yes, agreed. They're very friendly and humble. The quality of their teas speaks for itself. I didn't know they had one in CA! A good tea dealer is worth so much win.

    Oh, for clarification: "after having been doing it that way for 12 years" means, I did it wrong for 12 years! The above described method has proven itself to be superior to what I was doing before.

    Hm, I have to disagree with the steeping chart for green tea (after having been doing it that way for 12 years). Recently, I got some medium/high quality Sencha at my favorite place Ten Ren down in Chinatown. Lessons learned from their main
