Waterloo region (including Cambridge and Kitchener in Ontario) is supported, as is Guelph. These aren't big cities by any stretch. I see a part list here: https://transitapp.com/region and more cities listed here: htt

This is a smart use of crowdsourcing. From the app you can know the number of people who are waiting for the bus and relying on your reporting. Kind of gives you a sense of community. I hope this takes off.

That's the funniest first paragraph I've ever read. I'll probably be laughing for days. Great stuff.

Great idea, and I like the approach. Something like this can be tricky to pull off. I did something similar, but as a 30 day meditation challenge: http://tinyurl.com/gskmt7d Note: my site isn't operational at the momen

DDG is my default search engine because I'm addicted to the !bangs. For example, I use !pf to quickly convert an article into a PDF. I maintain a blog where I "showcase" the best bangs for the Duck: http://duckgoba

Dang, I'm interested to know why you shadowban some accounts (obviously without warning, or else it wouldn't be a shadownban) and yet give others advance warning in a very public way. Is there a criteria or policy you follow?

I just finished recommending 1491 by Charles Mann in a previous thread, and I'll do so again here: http://amzn.to/2hKn6Ly Surprising how innovative and densely populated the people of ancient americas were back then.

Reminds me of the Devil Tree (Triplaris americana) found in South America[1]. Anything that touches its bark (bird, insect, human) is ferociously attacked by colonies of venom squirting red ants. Learned about this fascinating tree in the e

I know all about Joseph Smith. I'll leave it at that. However, my initial comment still stands.

Read the Book of Mormon. It's the closest thing to having a personal one to one conversation with God the Son.

If your idea isn't worth failing spectacularly for, then it's not worth doing.

Piotr Janeczek (aka Ashaneen) should be on that list somewhere. I suggest his album aptly entitled Ambient Music. Check out "Return to Home" for a sampling.

Not a book, but a deck of 100 cards. It's psychoanalysis by word association, based on the Association Method by CG Jung.

I use the DuckDuckGo bang !pf to convert webpages into PDFs (got the tip from here: http://duckgobang.com ) but your tool converts to multiple file formats which is even better.

The issue was something to do with the software being slow. You said it was probably my server. When I asked for a refund you politely refused. Again, this was several years ago and I don't remember the exact details. I just moved on a
