Yeah, grid beam is (alas) a highly underrated tech. I've also created my own version recently -- a Lego Technic compatible version I'm calling "bitbeam" - bitbeam.org. Don't know where it'll go, but it sure is fun!

I recently got into building with grid beam. (Found out about it at a Maker Faire.) Consider grid beam an open source version of Erector Sets or a life-size Lego Technic. Building your own standing desk out of grid beam would be the super c

I'm surprised the Maverick wasn't mentioned yet in the comments here. It looks far more fun and durable than the other flying car designs out there: http://mavericklsa.com/

Wow, I never heard of EagleMode before. I'm sad it's not more well known. That's the most complete ZUI for an OS I've seen.

I prototyped something vaguely similar in Python, using the 3d Visual library. I would love to port this to CoffeeScript/JS + Canvas. The dream is to have zoomable user interface (like Google Earth) where you can zoom in and view one file,

Sadly, it's not new. I first heard people selling enterprise software (read: SAP, Oracle, etc.) use "spend" instead of "spending" over 10 years ago. It still drives me crazy to hear it today. When they say "spend"... I keep screaming in my

They do have a policy regarding external code. It's called "third-party". Google has one big shared code-repo. Generally, the only requirement is to plop the code into the directory called "third-party" and make sure its license is clearly

Same here. I was a "top of noon" riser for years, then I got married and had a kid... Now my two boys are 5 and 7, they both wake up reliably between 5 and 6am everyday. Also, relatedly, though, they go to sleep at 7pm. To deal with such an
