Ha, I thought I was being novel pointing out how convenient it was for solving the myriad problems that come with parenthood. I printed a bunch of car logos for my vehicle-obsessed kid to stare at, name, and futz with during diaper changing

This will sound frivolous and ridiculous, but I have a toddler with constantly changing tastes and it's a nice way to be able to engage with and encourage their interests. For example, cars have been a huge deal lately, and being able

It's interesting to me that between this and Apple's news app that we're steering to a less-social-engagement centric model for news presentation. One new way to save myself from looking at the comments.

This looks like something Michel Gondry would've figured out manually 20 years ago with an 8mm camera and a paper cup or something. That being said, it really does look amazing!

I would argue that at least DFW (and possibly the author) knew exactly what he meant when he said irony. I think maybe irony is misunderstood as necessarily being obvious and bald-facedly deceptive in a noticeable way. I think a lot of the

I don't know if beer has any special rules regarding it's taxation, but assuming it doesn't and knowing the beer craziness here in Colorado, I'm not too concerned. Furthermore, if we finally killed our remaining blue law

Did you have anything to do with bringing the the scarf that's for sale on attractmo.de to market? I got one for my wife and it's really beautiful.

Doubly so because Klepek is a hell of a games journalist. It's a really exciting time to be a fan of this stuff, no matter how casual.

Yes, but how many lines of javascript? It seems that's the metric above all metrics lately.

Totally anecdotal and only tangentially related, but I've been to Tokyo three times since 2009 and the change in availability of American craft beer as well as Japanese microbrews was honestly staggering. As a Coloradan, it was almost

I get the intention, and this is gonna sound kind of reductive and shitty, but there's no social contract on the internet. If you built it this way, you gotta put in the moderation/engineering work, tighten it down, or quit your b

Awesome, awesome project, but for the purist please keep in mind that 8-direction joysticks can be a bit tricky on games that were built for a 4-direction joystick. For example, I popped a convertible 4/8 direction joystick into my hom

I agree with the organizational sentiment, but almost everything else reads of woeful naiveté for a 32 year old person in the work force. Not trying to hard hearted, and I sure as hell don't know the rest of this guy's story, but I think ma

Very cool. Just earlier this week I was wondering how someone could take some of the unique storytelling ideas from the likes of Borges and adapt them to modern media. The definitely feels like a step in that direction.

I know precious little about hardware stuff and I was curious, how true an emulation does this sort of methodology produce? I remember reading this article ( http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-o... ) about the diffic

Does she like rollercoasters? I feel like it's a show for people who like extreme tension and the catharsis of relief, cause my wife and mother-in-law totally dig it.

As a Mines alum I can say I damn good first step to becoming a programmer is surviving a school as tough as Mines (if you're academically minded). I graduated with a chem degree but decided to switch to web development about a year and a ha

Thanks for the encouragement! I have a few friends in web development and they're huge inspirations and great mentors. I feels incredibly lucky to be entering the field when I am because the communities and tools are absolutely amazing.

Ha, as someone with a degree is chem with a similar programming background who has been studying rails for 6 months, you give me hope and make me feel like a total slacker! Seriously though, that's awesome!
