We'll know Google is truly awesome if they ever manage to launch a satellite to do their own surveying.

I was spanked something like 4 or 5 times by my father, and I agree with your action->consequence statements. I made sure to pass on lessons learned to my little brother and sister as well. My dad and I have been laughing about it for a

I agree with you! However, I'll add the caveat that things tend to get a little crazy around YC application deadlines. My feeling is that some people seem to feel the need to 'fall in line' around that time.

Just a heads up: Ghosts in the Machine is used in the header, but the end of the video reads Ghost in the Machine. No 's'. Not sure which version you were going for, but you might want to read through and double check all that.

Anecdotal evidence suggests a high correlation between the number of suckers born every minute and Mac users. That said; I want a MacBook Pro. ;-)

I had never heard of Songza. I just tried it out and it's pretty amazing. I agree with the red being a poor choice for a background, but everything else I think is pretty spot on. Searching while listening to music is great, I like it.

I don't see how you can be hostile toward an institution that exists to advance education More accurately: exists with the intent to advance education. And this is where your argument falls apart.

aswanson said it very well. Criticism of college does not equate to anti-intellectualism. The "real world" isn't exactly known for a lack of bullshit; dealing with it (i.e. having discipline and tenacity) is as marketable a skill as knowi

I think they should replace their blood with caffeine. That's just me. Honestly, I have to imagine two sessions a year are already pretty rough.

I used to write a daily Alzheimer's newsletter for a small home-business based in Cummings, GA. Part of my job was to cover upcoming research studies, recent findings, and that sort of thing. Music therapy seems to be developing as a respec

Realistically, there isn't going to be a paper trail in November, or in the foreseeable future for that matter. At the risk of getting "too" political, I believe there's a contingent of Paul supporters who don't seem so... umm... ethically

I would assume this is partly because many of us have been upset with electronic voting machines since day one. Machines without paper trails are scary, and there's not much more for the hackers here to say. What's odd is that, seemingly, s

I wouldn't necessarily say that. I think the process for awarding them is bogus. But I do hope the the origami idea is just part of his plans.

All pretty good advice. However, if you find yourself out with friends and almost all you do is think about your project, work on your project. My girlfriend was dragging me out to parties, weddings, her family's house, etc. All I did was t

The entire soundtrack to The Fountain is pure excellence. The Last Man is my favorite track off that album, after Death is the Road to Awe. Very haunting and beautiful.

Haha, Internet Explorer quirks. Almost done actually, doing some touch-ups here and there, and then launching an invite only beta early January.

The idea may have been to buy Dodgeball to prevent competition, and/or to get in on any collaborations or partnerships DB had.

Not at all vain. Perhaps this is a more accurate refinement of what I enjoy about refactoring: progress. There really is an undeniability to constant and measured progress of programming as a whole. ie - Two minutes ago this wasn't possible
