Which reminds me of:

Loke Groundrunner: I'm going to trust my feelings and use the power of the thumb.

Voice of Oobedoob Benubi: Use the instrument panel, Loke.

Loke Groundrunner: What?

Voice of Oobedoob Benubi: The instrument panel. That's what it's there for. Advanced weaponry designed to hit tiny targets.

Loke Groundrunner: Ok, ok.

To add to drexel, foam rollers or rumble rollers are great. I've also got an orbital buffer I use on myself that, as funny as it sounds, works amazingly well.

^ This. VPN is not a magic bullet. It stops your ISP from snooping and adds another hoop to jump through when tracing you. If the sites you visit (nodes you hit) are monitored you are still at risk.

[Edit] not protected/still at risk.

I ssh through amazon micro instances where necessary (not often), and just recently purchased a month through hidemyass.com - bad name, good service.

Sounds like you're not applying to the right companies. Any developer that comes to me with an obvious love for code moves to the top of the list. If you're coding in your own time for fun, it's not a job, and I'd want to hire you - in some capacity :)

Only problem is both server and client need to be win7. Would be more useful if the client could be anything.

"Many Android devices have locked bootloaders. I think this is a despicable anti-consumer design choice, but nobody's taking action against it."

This struck a cord with me.

I own an iPhone, and an Acer Iconia tablet, both of which are locked down. I've jail-broken, or rooted the devices, but the fact that I can't legitimately install custom roms, etc, frustrates the hell out of me.

One advantage I see (but don't agree with) for the iPhone being locked down is users locked into the app store, but for the Iconia?

I get my meat (grass feed, free range) from a local butcher/farmer. I know exactly how it's produced and where it comes from.

There are any number of ways to get your food. Shrink wrapped from a bulk supplier is only one of them.

Something I'm very passionate about is explaining that "Paleo" is not a diet in the traditional sense. It's a lifestyle that promotes health and disease prevention through food choices and exercise which has the additional benefit of easy weight loss.

It's also the easiest* food/health hack that I've ever experienced.

*easiest: I don't get food cravings, can still eat amazing food (try Vietnamese without the rice/noodles), and am actually enjoying exercising 30 - 45 mins a day.

Go Paleo/Primal, do a little exercise, eat bacon, gain washboard abs.

(although that last statement is a little flippant, a paleo lifestyle will help reduce a number of inflammatory diseases, and other issues associated with lectins, omega 3/6 imbalances, etc)

There are a number of browser extensions out there that do this. G+Me and gpMin to name a couple.

Note: I wrote gpMin.

Edit: I hope that didn't come across as condescending or short. I just wanted to let you know there are a number of good extensions already out there that will do what you're looking for and provide extra benefits.

To minimise page size I pack the javascript for my html5 game - Last Man Standing: A Zombie Apocalypse - into a png and load it using canvas and eval.

It packs my 51KB minified source into an 18KB image file.

Works a charm :)
