My 928 still suffers from intermittent, device-warming phantom battery drain, hoping 8.1 fixes it. Luckily the "Battery Saver" feature seems to be a so-so stop-gap if you don't mind missing email notifications.

I would say changing to a more consistent work schedule is definitely a good idea, but don't lose the "schedule" part. There's a huge advantage to being able to say "okay, now is work time". However, after writ

The digital media department at my alma mater used Max/MSP to teach programming to art students with a lot of success. It's really fascinating to watch the programs as they run, and it makes for a great way to visualize abstractio

Age differences shouldn't be held so high. I eat lunch at work with people 3x my age, and we have plenty in common. We often learn things from each other, and they're very valuable friendships. I wouldn't hesitate to invite t

In a typical Javascript workflow, near-instant feedback is the baseline. I really like how Facebook's Hack has a local file system monitor which incrementally compiles on file changes. I haven't used it yet, but it sounds like a n

In the Cornell study cited, it specifically discusses that open plans should be fit for purpose. "There's no silver bullet." I would love to be able to sit around my coworkers while I answer emails, catch up on the projects g

Very cool site, seems to be very well implemented. I can see it becoming a much more "useful" Pinterest, at least to me. I love cruising around for cool stuff to buy, and it seems to make good suggestions of related items based on

Removing the penalty for wrong answers seems to be an interesting choice to me. I thought a strong part of the test was the emphasis on carefully considering the questions so that the answers given were deliberate. Without a penalty, guessi

I was surprised to see a drink-up on their map in Portland, ME (where I am), however it was actually for OSCON in the other Portland, in OR. Bummer :(
