MongooseJS is pretty cool. I have one question, though: Why must you define models' schema when you're interacting with a schema-less database such as MongoDB?

If you're interested in parkour, check out BBC's Jump London and Jump Britain documentaries. They're fascinating, fun, and inspiring. You can find them on Google Video.

I've been using is.gd for a couple of reasons. First, "is.gd" is nice and short, and I find it extremely easy to type. The flow from key to key is very smooth. After that, the is.gd home page loads very quickly. However, I find that the big

From the photos, which is all we have at the moment, it just looks like a thin laptop with a glossy screen and ports at the back. I guess tomorrow we'll find out if there's any reason to be excited about it besides marginally better aesthet

I'm skeptical about the audio quality, because even small amounts of packet loss and latency can wreck havoc on VoIP calls. However, even if Zer01's service doesn't live up to its claims, it's a step in the right direction. North America ne

I suggest you start by improving the marketing of Rainbow Ninja on its own website. As alaskamiller said, an explanation of what the game is/does is a good starting point. Throw some screenshots up there, too. Maybe even a video. Users shou

Great idea, mate. Enabling people to embed the upload form into their site is awesome. I have one suggestion. I watched the "How It Works" video, which was informative, though a bit slow-paced. However, the soundtrack could really be improv

There's also parkour: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour It's a hell of a lot of fun, keeps you in shape, gets you outside and away from the computer, etc. Pretty much every major city, and many smaller cities, have local parkour commun

I use gandi.net for my .com, .org and .net domains. Their interface is great, but I can't comment on their support because I've never had a problem =P For .ca domains, I use easydns.com .

--- Short Version: Stop actively thinking about names. Let your subconscious chug away on the topic for a while; at least for a couple of weeks, if not for a couple of months. Eventually, something will bubble up that you like. --- Long Ver

Great feedback guys. Thanks. I'm going to go the route of virtual machines, and give Multipe IE a shot so that I only need one Windows VM. After that, I think I'll start writing up some scripts (text, not code) to follow, step-by-step, to c
