Wow, I missed the new pricing on MongoHQ. Having Heroku and MongoHQ free for basic setup is pretty awesome for trying out new stuff.

The vid I linked to is not my dad's. I think he got a segway-style 2 wheel robot to work. Took him about two months, but he doesn't have much spare time. The biggest problem was adjusting for inaccuracies in the measuring equipment.

You can make your own quite cheaply - with LEGO Mindstorms. I bought a set for my dad last christmas and he's been playing with inverse pendulum ever since. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8jxGsg3p0Y this is a lego robot balancing on a

I think it has to do with the law requirement that every employee should be able to adjust his/her workplace to be ergonomical. In practice, the only reasonable way to do this is to give everyone height-adjustable desks and chairs. I'd love

Is there any reason to be excited about the new CPUs? I'd say that the high-res display on 15" and better battery life are more interesting. Also, any info if the graphic cards switch automagically or you have to log out?

You need to sort the datapoints by time before plotting them. The plots seem to go to the second point at the end, making strange loops.

BJJ is great, but: get a brazilian teacher if possible, and avoid BJJ if you have any knee problems, I messed mine up.

After living in Copenhagen for 1,5 years I think I can add some info to this. First of all, biking is the only reasonable way to commute in Copenhagen. Car traffic is big, but the most discouraging factor for me is the parking fees. During

I used to watch a lot of screencasts in the past years because of ~1 hour bus+train commute to work. It's a great tool to check out new things, or to get a fast intro. In this way, I enjoyed the New Relic screencasts - they were more about
