Nice! There are plenty of spaced-repetition tools out there, but I wanted to make it really easy to add info into a database, and I thought that text selection would be the easiest. That episode mentions Gary Wolf's 2008 Wired article

I'm sorry to hear this. It should work okay if you only have one Google account. Unfortunately, maintaining the Firefox version isn't a priority right now. I love Firefox and it was a tough decision to switch to Chrome, but it&#x2

Thank you, and I'm so glad this is the top-rated comment. Rereading isn't the same as retrieving information, and I want to work on this. I'd love to implement cloze deletions. My thought is that if there is a note associated

This was originally a Firefox extension, and it is still available if you visit the above page on Firefox, but as pointed out in another comment, it's a bit buggy and I'm not sure when I'll have time to bring it up to speed w

Wow, thanks for the heads-up. It means owl in French and is pronounced ēbu. Owls being wise and all. Thanks for trying it out. Hope you like it.

Ironically, at the end of the tattoo video that was pirated, Destin Sandlin, the host, is seen wearing [a shirt]( http://www.amazon.com/Stand-Going-Science-T-Shirt-Scientists... ) that is a blatant rip off of an Randall Munro

Drivers also rate you as a passenger. If they rated you 1-2 stars, you would never get picked up again. By doing what you're doing, you're making your drivers less likely to keep their jobs, just because they landed on some OCD in
