I would suggest having folks enter their city, geocoding it, and then saving that lat/long into the database so it can be visualized as a map later. Here's some HTML/JS code for a form + map: http://pastebin.com/57nw4awx And then you can

Now someone needs to write a script to compare the writing style in the posts to the writing style of hackernews commentors and reveal who is who. :) [Also take into consideration any comments on gender, location, time, etc.]

This is awesome. You may want to add a linkify script to turn URLs into clickable anchors.

I worked on Wave (and loved it) and I am similarly falling in love with the real-time thrill of this. (And the anonymous nature... finally, all my true feelings can come out).

That is indeed an interesting idea. I'm not sure about this promise though: "YOU remain in control of them, so you never end up starring in your own sex tape scandal if a nasty breakup occurs." I'm guessing most people would be uploading vi

RSS readers may be dying (I admit that I once was a Google Reader fanatic and now only log in time to time), but RSS/ATOM as a format for communicating between websites is still pretty decent. I often setup an ATOM feed for the data on what

In that case, here are my teaching materials for an HTML & CSS class - exercises and slides included: http://www.teaching-materials.org/htmlcss/ Web programming is actually harder to teach than other programming, I would say, because

Growing up, I only knew how to cook spaghetti and chocolate chip cookies. I figured everything else was in the realm of gourmets, and then I went to work for Google, and I never really needed to cook. But lately I got interested in cooking

I read "Good Calories, Bad Calories" last year and just read "Why We Get Fat" yesterday(both available on Kindle!). GCBC is a good, long read with a lot of insight into the issues with science in the last 100 years. WWGF is much more focuse

My input as a girl that was introduced to computers at a young age: I was introduced to programming as a way of creating things, and as someone who likes creating things, it really excited me. The first things that I made were webpages (inc

I've wanted to lose a bit of weight much of my life, and decided to approach it a different way this year. Instead of blindly trying what I tried before (calorie counting, exercise, etc), I've started reading books about nutrition & obe

I'm usually on a Linux or SSHed into a Linux and use vim most of the time (in combination with screen). When I occasionally have to do Java, I use Eclipse. If I'm stuck with only my Windows box, then I use Notepad++ instead of vim. Here's a

Apologies; I hadn't had issues with Scribd myself (Chrome/Linux), didn't realize others did. It is also on slideshare, and I can upload to other desired formats. It is originally a Microsoft PPT, as that makes the 15 seconds timing easy to

FYI - The Barbie lets the girl unlock extra content online related to the career, so presumably its programming related stuff. Its also covered in binary code, which may get some girls curious about that. Binary math is a good gateway drug

Yeah, that's a good point. I guess I think that I would have enjoyed some of the activities (e.g. I do watch some Sci-fi flicks), but as they had a perception of me not being like them, they assumed I wouldn't like anything at all. But, rig

The title was more about mirroring the Aqua song, less about me being an actual Barbie Girl. I'm personally a mix of alot of things. More a wannabe 80s rock star than anything else.. if only I could sing. :)
