I guess I do both. While I haven't been doing a lot of real painting recently (working on other projects) I certainly do. I have some paintings on Picasa ( https://picasaweb.google.com/105616061675197682498 ) but I'm working on some sculp

Agreed. Also, it really just is a micro-controller. From what I understand the internal ram and flash plus all the other special functions (SPI, UART, ADC) are what make a micro-controller a micro-controller while a MPU or CPU have data an

Ever since encountering OpenFirmware on the old PPC Macs I've been interested in Forth but I've only started playing around with it recently (I actually just put amforth on an ATMega328P this afternoon). It's really pretty interesting to u

vim will auto complete words if you press control-p while in insert mode. http://i.imgur.com/tdcEc.png For what it's worth I feel how you feel about vim, about emacs. I suspect it's just a matter of familiarity. edit: As DrJ points out,

Something inspired me to write a Brainfuck interpreter after reading this so I just put together one in Scheme with a TrollScript compatibility layer. I haven't tested it extensively but it seems to work with everything that I've thrown at

Or use control+shift+c and control+shift+v in many terminal emulators. Edit: Seems I overlooked this being mentioned above. Oops.

This reminds me of some of the stuff shown in the Wii U E3 video. Throwing shurikens and playing golf with the new controller for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e3qaPg_keg

You don't have to lack ethics yourself to be unphased by others' lack of them. I don't know if you're just trolling or something but I think this needs to be addressed either way. Dishonesty has the distinct disadvantage of leaving you wi

Thanks for the advice everyone. I forgot to mention it above but most of the recent projects I've worked on have been JS/Canvas stuff (how I managed to forget about the only somewhat formulated work I've done outside of the projects mentio

I haven't used Processing explicitly but from what I can tell the Arduino's Wiring language is pretty much the same thing (it uses the Processing IDE and from what I've read it seems to be a superset of Processing). I use Wiring when playi

My N800 manages to be an "Internet Tablet" and have XTerm installed by default. Using it isn't necessary but it's nice to be able to run command line programs when I want.

Attachment to what is impermanent is not heaven, it is a cause of suffering. When what one is attached to ceases to exists, pain fills it's place. By minimizing the amount of attachment one has to the world (in all ways, not just attachme

Funny, I see the solution as being avoiding the attachment to begin with. His argument applies whether or not you have cancer. Relying on another person for happiness is a foolish move. It is a much better idea to learn to enjoy solitude

I don't have a device this works on but the demo looks very well done. I've been playing around with a similar idea but more along the lines of a front end for music in ABC notation.
