I'm using an 'iBeacon' (raspberry pi) in a museum setting to nudge visitors entering a certain gallery: "if you'd like to take our Matisse audio tour…" They slide that notification and iOS opens our app directl

I bought my iPhone (3GS) in France when I lived there. I signed up for a 1 year contract and cancelled it after 10 months, no penalty because I was leaving the country. Bouyges unlocked my phone without any hassle. When I got home (US) I bo

I can't recommend this python script enough. In addition to youtube, it can download from tons of other online video/audio sites. http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ (`brew install youtube-dl`)

I have Leaflet.draw set up to annotate tiled images of objects at a museum. The annotated regions pass thru angularfire as geojson. Put 3 screens side by side. As soon as someone adds an annotation on one of them it pops up instantly on the

About a year ago I installed a bidet in my bathroom. It's the one pictured towards the bottom of this article, and I bought it on amazon. I use it and "cloth toilet paper" for my butt-cleaning. It's great. The water washes me clean. Often 1

I've been doing this for 2 years. My setup is a 3GS with an iPad data plan from AT&T. ($29.99/unlimited). Talkatone hooks into google voice for incoming and outgoing calls. The app is free and I paid a token amount to make the ads go aw

I've played soccer all my life. Everyone talks about flow when coding, but I've never come close to how it feels when I'm in a soccer game. I've played a bit of softball and kickball and I'm not a huge fan. Likewise most dodgeball. Otherwis

To me it wasn't obvious, but with yankring after you hit p you can paste from older registers with ^p. Yankring then replaces "0 with "1. Another ^p replaces "1 with "2. So by repeatedly hitting ^p after a paste you can cycle back quite a w

Yankring: if you were ever confused when deleting/yanking/putting (was that phrase in "0, "1, "2?) yanking is beyond helpful. Syntastic: calls out syntax errors for lots of different languages. Command-T: I've had some trouble getting this

This is really scary. I'm a total apple fanboi. But no way I'd buy a phone with this baked in. I don't like to think apple would bow this deeply to the recording industry. Maybe the government. Either way it turns my stomach. "At block 950,

Does anyone see how these sit on the ground? I don't see any footings in the video. Just compacted and graded topsoil? What is the floor made out of? See also: Dante Bini's air formed domes http://openfarmtech.org/wiki/Air-formed_domes

This would be a nice preference. I only say so because on an iPad opening links in a new tab is a pain.

People say drink something before you go to bed so next morning the urge to pee will motivate you straight out of bed. I hate having to pee really bad when I wake up. But don't shit right before bed for a similar impetus. YMMV.

The sweet spot for me would be a normal iPhone outfitted with an iPad data plan. (You can do this now if you buy both gadgets and swap the sim. It's a lot of money though.) Have they added a real gps to the touch yet? I think that's one of

Good thread. I don't have much dot add, but: water water water. I've got a weak spot for a big glass of orange juice in the morning and go through phases of making yogurt/banana/frozen berry smoothies. Favorite drink is a gin tonic.
