Link on your name at the bottom is broken. Nice work otherwise. The text is sometimes a bit fuzzy, but I'm guessing that's from Photoshop's wacky sub-pixel rendering. Just FYI: dribbble might be a better audience...

I recognize him from an incredible blues trio I saw in this tiny bar in Harvard Square last fall. The guy's got some serious chops. Had no idea he also taught across the river. Check out his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/th

You really should. Hearing that sort of thing doesn't get old. I'll bet he would appreciate it.

Where on the web can you run Smalltalk right now? Where is the Heroku/Rails for Squeak? And before you write it, I'll save you the time. Here's the typical HN response to this question: Just go get an EC2 instance and apt-get a bunch

I've admired Alan Kay's work for years, but I wish he had another Jobs/Apple to turn his ideas into products. His work on the GUI was put into the Mac, Smalltalk directly influenced Objective-C, and the Dynabook is clearly a predecessor to

Every use Objective-C? It's pretty much Smalltalk with C backwards compatibility.

Yeah, it exists. And for your second question: "gorilla arm" depends on where you have your hands-- if you keep them below your heart, you can gesture almost indefinitely without fatigue. This is obvious for people who use a lot of hand ges

If you're doing anything novel, almost by definition you can't be "qualified" to do it.

Will you write a blog post about this?

But then how will he really know it's you, Geoff? ;) In all seriousness, you should consider posting a response like this in your FAQ/Help and linking at the install tutorial. I'm really sick of this knee-jerk security reaction happening

The Segway was actually pretty complex -- definitely not just a spin-off. (Though I agree the iBot is awesome.) If you want to learn the full story, I recommend the book Code Name Ginger . http://www.amazon.com/Code-Name-Ginger-Behind-Seg

Raising VC is kind of like buying a car. If your destination is decently far away, it makes a lot of sense. The problem is that a lot of these folks don't know how far they're actually going. They end up buying a car to drive around the cor

I've heard that Korea is similar, but with even higher-quality manufacturing. Do you know if this is true? I'd love to come visit next time I'm around China. Send me an email and we'll connect?

Why is it "messed up" if it makes advertising more engaging? Facebook essentially does what you describe, by showing your friends the posts/ads of pages you have liked. I think it's just a spectrum where ads can become a service. What if Ne
