How do you handle printing? I've got a color laser (that I'll generally run B&W), but it seems like "pigment inkjet" is actually the correct choice for the paper+ink combo. What's your experience / recomme

Simply the "I" and "N" baselines on "Cracking" is wildly (un-professionally) off! Took a screenshot and there's +/- three pixels or so with no artistic justification for it. Even Comic Sans has a co

The whole language examples seem pretty rational, and I'm especially pleased / shocked by the `loop / repeat 5` examples. I love the idea of having syntax support for "maximum number of iterations", eg: repea

1000% yes! An 8.5x11" paper is effectively a 12" ruler accurate to 2 decimal places. Fold an 8.5" into a square (right triangle) and the long edge is exactly 12.02" Fold that in half and you can measure 6.01", and

Exactly the killer use-case for pebble! It's "blue-toothy" range, so it'll mostly work in adjacent rooms but might have difficulty going diagonally upstairs v. downstairs, or ranging too far outside. IIRC, pebble had a &

Nope, some are touch screen only or with only 1-2 buttons. The Garmin's with 5 buttons (eg: Forerunner 55 at ~$170) are decent once you get used to the button-mechanisms, but pebble's UX for "productivity notifications"
