Interesting timing on Dyson's announcement this week - yesterday NPR ran the first of a 2-part piece on the Excel Dryer Co [1], a US-based Dyson rival. Though it's not mentioned in the transcript, late in the nine-minute piece, the Excel VP

One thing that really stuck in my mind when I heard the story was that, even 35 years later, "we're now a substantial fraction of a 'light-day' from the Earth..." With the term "light-years" most commonly mentioned (eg, from a few days ago:

Oh, thank goodness (and thanks for the clarification - I hadn't thought it through very well).

Hi Mz, I’m relatively new here and hadn’t caught one of your posts before. Tonight I saw your reply to the Instagram post, someone’s reply to you, and I started to read through your HealthGazelle and KidsLikeMine sites and comments on HN. I

That was what jumped out at me as well - I could only think about the $100K that was going into GoDaddy's bank account. ALL the dozens of domains I've moved (and continue to move, sometimes one by one) hardly make a dent when compared to th

"Tales of Airport Security" is one of my favorite parts of Le Show - though the stories are typically sent in by listeners regarding their first-hand accounts of TSA ineptitude, I could see Shearer delivering this one himself... http://en.

This reminds me of one of the first RadioLab shows I ever heard, called simply "Falling". http://www.radiolab.org/2010/sep/20/ Here's their synopsis: There are so many ways to fall—in love, asleep, even flat on your face. This hour, Radio

Agreed. The TSA Out of Our Pants guy goes to the trouble of giving specific examples in a well-articulated video and they respond with some catchy, hip-sounding interwebs keywordz... I feel safer already.

Brilliant - here's Part 1 that you mentioned (he's posted 300+ videos). I'm afraid I've wrecked what's left of the work day as I follow the saga. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Krv3gE-c4

Nice - "Because web designers want font families, not just fonts." Thanks for the link, Chris.

Lato is one of my current favorites, glad you included it. Orbitron, Jura and Cabin also work well in certain places. I do wish there were more fonts with 3+ styles (reg, bold and ital at least), though I'm sure that'll change with time.

I'll start a post when I have enough worth sharing. She's 4 now and we're still working with basic math. I've found a few books that incorporate math that she's enjoyed; right now we're halfway through The Phantom Tollbooth. Milo just left

Thanks for posting. I'm trying to keep a collection of these type of things so that when she's ready, it'll be another tool to get/keep my daughter excited about math.

I've been happy with transfers I made from GD to name.com (namecheap wasn't bad, but name.com is more flexible with the way I like to set up multiple accounts). I wonder whether they'd be willing to work on an affiliate deal with you. And o

It'd be great to see the iSight script if you're up for sharing. I also wonder what was wrong with your MBP, from the photos it looked like there was some initial activity and then a lot of nothing, then a final check and I guess they retur

Thanks for the fun post, and led me to reminisce about tinkering as a kid and how it continues for me today. Whenever something in our home stops working as it should, the little kid inside me is excited to get to take things apart and try
