Actually, earplugs can be very effective when paired with headphones, I would think... I used them while flying in the military (under a flight helmet) to cut out excess noise while still enabling me to hear essential radio chatter.

I'm aware of CA splitting -- it's not been adopted yet elsewhere in the US. It's too bad that you had to experience someone who was "swerving in and out" and not the majority of riders who would split sensibly and s

I wish, for those of us that ride motorcycles in this type of traffic in the US, that all states would adopt a sensible lane-spitting allowance for motorcycles. In country after country, lane-splitting has proven to help reduce congestion,

This. WP frustrates the stew out of me, precisely because it mixes concerns. All. The. Freakin'. Time. Arrrgh!

I'm working on a MBP, but also really interested in the pixel. We tend to now work in the cloud more than ever, and like the lower cost and simplicity of the chromebook.

This: "Platform lock-in is a negative, customer-hostile approach." Absolutely. At my office, it was amusing when others would adopt the latest iPhone, but the charger was different... yet again! People would scurry about looking f

Well, privacy or no... I have found just the sheer "overhead" of _dealing_ with FB to be exhausting. I mean, really. Trolling through so many mundane and inane posts to get to the few relevant items of interest has become a huge t

This list of common oversights could apply equally to any CMS installation. Although I really dislike working in WP, I've also seen these same mistakes in other setups that clients have come to us with over the years.

G+ is actually *not a "ghost town"; it doesn't presume that you have friend-like connections, and allows you to follow/circle and correspond easily with anyone. I tend to think of it as a more powerful Twitter, and have

So, basically, always be looking for emerging opportunities and don't be quick to "throw in the trowel" ;-) Sorry... just couldn't resist!

I'm a webdev at an agency, and Meteor looks great from a prototyping perspective. Javascript is already a key component of much of our work, so this framework could help us roll out concepts much faster than we're doing now... loo

All absolutely great quotes -- and I *still couldn't stop thinking about how much this ying/yang reminds me of the hilarious quotes from "The Sphinx" in the movie, "Mystery Men" (1999, IMDB here: http:/&#

Not quite the same as a qym membership, however. Many, many designers use Adobe products to create original work. The prospect of being forced to continue to pay for access to your own created works feel a bit like a strong-arm tactic... an

+1 correct. A carrier battle group can't be everywhere, and the immense operational options available to a VTOL contingent make the program viable. I'm a former Navy pilot, and agree that VTOL gets the job done in many tight situa

Not many painters or visual artists mentioned... mostly writers and composers. I've found that, as a painter, I get most of my work done late at night -- and so do many other artists I know. Just another 2c...

I can relate! Sure wish more teams would do things together - *despite the age differences. I'm 20 yrs older than some of my coworkers, but we still have similar interests. And a good beer is a good beer, no matter how old you are! ;-)

Er, fail? No examples still at link given, and About page also blank, as others mentioned. Would like to try this, but not sure I want to invest the time without seeing some working examples first...

How odd, I feel the opposite, re: vision... Google is leading the way with progressive developments in many varied fields. Expecting more today from Tim Cook, the Apple announcement left me flat. Understand, that while I'm a long time

Agree. I *hate it when I receive ambiguous criticism, which just means that we'll need to dance around each other while I try to figure out exactly what "looks a little funny". Getting specific details - instructions or guida
