Have you tried reaching out to the folks at Etsy? I think they would love it if the emerging indie gadgets scene was cultivated more.

You can write your browser automation tests in JavaScript. See WebDriverJS, Jelly, or PhantomJS. * http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/WebDriverJs * http://jelly.io * http://phantomjs.org/

I noticed this last Fall at the Open Hardware Summit in NYC. That event has become the must-attend event for those involved in open source hardware. (Arduino team members, et al.) The event was founded and chaired by Alicia Gibb and Ayah Bd

Yeah, my description of the Monkeysphere is: "The Universal Theory of Human Behavior". I wish more people knew about it. Just doing my part. :-)

Every time I read a story like this, I'm reminded of Dunbar's number and David Wong's excellent (and very funny) summary: http://www.cracked.com/article_14990_what-monkeysphere.html The "Monkeysphere" explains a huge amount of silly human

I suspect Chicago is Wisconsin's #1 export market for brats and cheese. I love Chicago, but I also love my neighbors to the north. Keep 'em coming. I'll eat more. :-)

Hey, thank you for that code! Your OpenCV bindings made more than one appearance at PyCon this year. I used it in my "Angry Birds playing robot". Thank you, thank you, thank you! http://pyvideo.org/video/683/building-a-robot-that-can-play-

Next time, ask them to clarify whether it's physical servers or virtual machines. They could easily have had 500K virtual machines running <100K physical servers.

Would make an excellent start-up idea. :-) Please do it, someone. I don't have the time, but need a burrito. For pure zeitgeist win, add grilled cheese to the menu, too.

"... so many people working remotely." I think that's the subtle point of the post. A huge part of their world view is "work where you want, when you want". And of course, they just happen to sell tools that help people work remotely from w

The same logic could apply for hosting your own git server. And yet, GitHub thrives. Why is that?

This is a great pivot for Convore. I suspect the most frequently asked question for Grove will be: "Can I use Grove to connect to freenode"? That is what I'm currently using IRCCloud.com for. That, /and/ keeping me logged into those freenod

A few years ago, why did you move from Denmark to the HQ in Chicago? Could you have just stayed in Denmark?

LEGO is very closed source. I'm fixing that with my http://bitbeam.org project. It's an open source hardware Lego Technic compatible building toy that you can manufacture yourself. (I lasercut my bitbeams at TechShop in San Francisco.) My

1) How it works: Dwolla works by leveraging the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. But to do that, you have to link your Dwolla account to a checking account. The ACH system is not the credit card system, so it can avoid the requirement

This could be a boon for taxi drivers. They hate credit card fees, especially for quick trips that are <= $10.

"Close" is not the same as "actual". qt-webkit tests have their place (they're FAST!), but real tests on real browsers which real users use (aka "Last Mile" testing) has its place, too. It's all part of a balanced breakfast.

Getting Selenium to play video games has been kind of an inside joke between the project developers for the last year. It started with Google's Pac-Man doodle. I'll add Fruit Ninja to the list. :-)
