So, if I built out 10 RPi based thermometers, that would be $40/month just to get a quick API? If I added a humidity sensor, that would add another $50/month? That's pretty steep. Granted, you could be targeting corporate an

About 10 years ago, I was looking to switch careers and wanted to jump to my 2nd love - flying. So, I went and interviewed flight schools. I was talking to the owner of one school and the topic of military pilots came up. It was mentioned

I always wanted this to actually function correctly. It worked great on my Android phone but syncing locations with my wife on her iPhone was problematic at best. It never worked. G+ between the two is also "iffy". One side of

I've left because of managers. I've left because of the company. When a company cuts my salary by 30% while jacking up my benefits payments by 300%, it's usually time to leave. But, on to the article at hand. As a manager now, those statist

http://www.capta360.com/ doesn't really look like a copy of your site. Neither does http://www.creativegerms.com/ or http://pearlwebstudio.com/ . Granted, a lot of those do copy your design but if you're trying to claim the above thre

How many plain old PMs know how to code? How many plain old PMs mentor the developers and lead the code reviews?

That sounds like a rather sad state of affairs. What kind of company do you work at anyway?

> According to a 2004 study, the average life expectancy of a non-instrument-rated pilot who flies into clouds or instrument conditions is 178 seconds. That is a chilling statistic. As a VFR pilot, I often wonder what would happen insid

I have to help "stupid users" in both the PC and the Mac world. There are "stupid users" everywhere and not more on one side or the other. I look forward to this new Windows Explorer. You would be amazed at the things regular people just

Thanks for talking about AppHarbor in your blog post. I'm developing an MVC 3 site and planned on deploying it on AppHarbor and was always curious how well it worked.

I agree with this. I have a 2 year old and a new one on the way, so I am somewhat familiar. It is tough to beat all the free stuff you get from friends and family. Also, consignment sales are a hit with moms. They go NUTS for them... an

I'm in north Dallas and unless you pay for regular extermination visits, roaches are a way of life if you live near open areas. I have a 10 acre ranch behind, two parks within a half mile, and a creek a few hundred feet away, and roaches a

I use 99designs, mycroburst, and crowdspring because I can't afford a real designer now. I'm not "cheap". I understand the trade-off. Once my startup is making more money, I will invest in a more expensive design but right now, I just ca

Because I have a need and there is nothing out there to fill that need, so i am making it. Plus, I'm old and bored of working for other people and I have 0% chance of buying that Lamborghini making $100K/y with a family and kids. My mid-lif

If this did Vietnamese, I would probably go buy 8 new iPods to run it on and pass them out to my family.

Go fly in a private plane and leave your cell phone on. I do not fly IFR so I haven't had to rely in my ILS but it does destroy radio communications. Have you ever heard your GSM based phone pulse and cause noise on a close by speaker? I
