   My open source command and control system COSMOS made WIRED which I think is really exciting. COSMOS is really useful for anyone wanting to control embedded systems in any industry, not just aerospace.

   Hi everyone, I'm trying to make the best way to search for homes in Colorado. I've put together a responsive and rather flat design. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Perhaps, but I need to differentiate myself. I think the design is a good mix of functional and good looking... could always be better of course. Thanks for the feedback.

    This was one of the first comments I expected to get. :) My theory is that people using their real identities as provided by Facebook will improve the quality of the site. We'll see how it goes.

    I am using bootstrap... only for a few things like the topic completion javascript and for a basic css framework. It was a great way to get the site going. I hoped it wasn't obvious. :)
