Why not today? Why not now? I had the exact same feeling when my friend died in a car wreck. The trick to living life to its fullest is to tease out the beauty in every moment.

I took a second look at Blender, and I have to agree with you 100%. I'm astonished at how much python is incorporated into the “little things” like help-text and api. And the scripting! And the keyframe interface! Many kudos are in order.

This is fabulous. I might even say that this medium is going to inspire new genres of digital art. Bravo.

I work at a community centre in a Canadian metropolis (I'm their computer-grant and education coordinator). I'm definitely going to bookmark this for them.

Wow. This is a must read for future cognitive science scholars. I think I'm going to order this as a graduation present to myself.

I can give express a thumbs up. I came from a python-flask environment, and express provided a way for me to quickly get the gist of javascript object-models and message passing. (I'm not a CS guy, I just wanted to finish a digital art proj

One more note about the wiring, it seems to be outside of a bathroom or bathtub of some sort. Note the toilet paper and its reflection in the tile. I don't know if that's helpful, but it's good to understand all of the details; thanks for y

I'd say the next step would be some green laser glasses. I don't think there'll be a ban on import of that particular item in Somalia.

I realize that this is an especially old article (1967), but I found it pertinent when I read: > With respect to the responsibility of intellectuals, there are still other, equally disturbing questions. Intellectuals are in a position t

I've been to the Eastern part of the border: Stanstead, Quebec/Vermont. Over there, some of the buildings are right on the border. One of the guys I worked with lived in apartments which had their parking lot technically in the US. http:/

I missed the MRI for MS part. I really hope your ailment is just transient. Please be sure to follow up on HN if/when you figure it out.
