oh, also, in terms of replacing the pads. Every couple months I put a little dab of EEG conductive paste on the pads and they seem to last forever. I have needed to change the headband, though.

nice! It's nothing more that an N-1 experiment, but I've really enjoyed using the Zeo to try and quantify what my sleep is doing. A couple years ago I wrote a little lucid dreaming app for the zeo you might be interested in. http://blog.my

yikes, be careful! Hey, I'm curious how you plan to limit current issues through the electrode contact quality. I know when putting on EEG electrodes you can test the impedance, would something like that be needed here?

thoughts: 1) fairly clean design, but consistency between pages could be improved 2) that home and "blue box design" hot spots go the same place is extraneous 3) front page nav is strange. buttons to go to the other tabs, but when I click o

Hey Christoph, Your beta looks great, when my life calms down a bit I'm really looking forward to playing with it. But.. there's another story I want you to tell. I re-posted your beta announcement onto the google groups hosted mailing list

interesting service, love the idea. Several points of feedback: 1) after creating an account, it should log me in as that account. The extra step of logging in is extraneous. 2) unclear where the search is monitoring. Particularly if I chan

Looks very nice indeed. I'm a big fan of early testing on wireframes rather anything higher fidelity. I hope you include an android tablet version rather than just ipad!

neat analysis. I have a wireless keyboard that wasn't working well - would disconnect and go unresponsive. I changed batteries 2 or 3 times and the problems persisted. Finally I happened to change batteries to a batch of duracell batteries

It's hard in a big company in that the decision maker is really the hiring manager, but HR protocol gets in the way. So if the prospective hire is unhappy with the offer they have to formally decline it and then the hiring manager has to co

Hard call. If it's a big consulting company with a variety of projects available negotiating a bit more than just giving your notice might be to your benefit. Ask to go to 50% time on the VBA to get back to the original promise of Java dev

18-20k seems high. I suppose in the case of someone with great experience relevant to a particular team that might be possible, though. At MSFT the specific interns were usually chosen by HR, or at most a team of people that HR wrangled int

I was at MSFT for a decade or so and several times saw folks who turned down the first offer get a second offer that was much more to their liking. The hiring manager has to really want you in order to push back sufficiently with HR, but if

I run a hackerspace in Victoria, BC. We went through the whole multiple definitions thing with that as well and finally settled on "makerspace" as our identity because of negative connotations of the word hacker within the non-tech communit

you're in the bay area. Check out biocurious ( http://biocurious.org ) It's filled with folks in the computer industry who are all infatuated with biotech. I bet you'd find people you could trade skills with!
