it's the return of slipknot

even the name of this is funny, well done

oh I see now that she didn't take the actual picture but Jason Madara did that -

I love the way she used a super wide shot to pull in so many graphic elements - beautifully done, Kate Courteau.

Some of Tagore's work is available as volunteer-recorded public domain mp3 and ogg files from librivox.org -- the recordings for Tagore's book "Sadhana: The Realization of Life" are very well done, by a volunteer named Peter Yearsley http://librivox.org/sadhana-by-rabindranath-tagore-v2/

When I take my kids places, I take the sim out of my iphone and put it in a dumbphone I got off ebay. It's like a time warp.

thanks for the upvote! I'm guessing it's because i'm promoting my own project

I made a collection of 4 Spine example apps that use a regular PHP backend - click "Examples" http://docs.structal.org/#/pages/87293423

the <cloud> element solves the problem of polling, it lets you subscribe to feed-updated notifications and read the feed only when it changes.

also, Atom has threading and RSS has some community efforts underway to make "replies" decentralized and aggregable (new word) http://xmlns.inreplyto.me/

I interviewed for a job @Twilio - they were using Handlebars, a Mustache variant. Also, here is my mini-chance to rant about that: I had 4 phone and 6 in-person interviews -- didn't get hired. Argh! How could anyone make it through that? Also - i'm a generalist, which seems to have kept me out of both Facebook and Twilio. /rant

I made a spine.js Todo list for any php back-end + couch/mongo/pgsql -- it jquery-polls a _changes feed to show todos that other people add

code https://github.com/voitto/structal.todos

demo http://todosdemo.structal.org

that's a pretty good analysis, nice work

We've been using a $20/mo MediaTemple grid server for site hosting the past 8 months, haven't noticed any downtime before this.

I used SlipKnot for that -- it converted a shell-dialup at University of Oregon into a SLIP connection that I could use with Netscape 1.0

I'm a dad of 2 and 4 year old boys, and a technical co-founder. I gave my kids a Mac SE with MacPaint and they like opening/saving documents and making paintings. I figure I'll let them play video games after they've learned to code some simple games, because then they'll be able to change the game. I've noticed other people's kids (older 9-10yrs) are "device kids" always with their nose pointed at some mobile device (gameboy, ipod) i'm trying to avoid that.

Derek Sivers reviewed this book recently http://sivers.org/book/StoicJoy

Have you seen Qooxdoo? I've made some very desktop-like apps with it http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/showcase/#form

I joined the group -- may organize an event in Portland

I built a real-time news widget that streams (hyper)local news and public records (marriage licenses, liquor permits, etc). Media companies partner with us http://nozzlmedia.com we've doubled the time visitors spend on their Web pages.

Erlang was a good fit for us, mostly because of the tools available around it, such as Nitrogen http://nitrogenproject.com a powerful JavaScript/Erlang framework. Erlang apps seem robust and lean.
