I read Hard Landing a few months ago and really enjoyed it. I was interesting to see how everyone in the industry admired Herb and SW during those years.

This is one reason I'm staying at more Hilton hotels than Marriott brands these days. Having a wet bathroom floor is high on my list of pet peeves, enough so that I'll abandon lifetime elite status with Marriott to stay at hotels with doors on the showers.

After 6 months of testing different diets to try to solve my migraines, I eventually discovered an ultra-low histamine diet resulted in a ~90% decrease in my headaches. Then I began trying different DAO products before eating foods with histamine, but the headaches returned. I eventually discovered NaturDAO (available via Amazon) and its much higher 1,000,000 HDU per pill. Taking two of these before any meal or coffee finally worked to stop the food-induced migraines for me. Hope this helps.

Tried 5 dongles, none can hold a drive reliably under heavy use

This is something I've had a problem with as well on my late 2016 13" MBP, 2 usb-c port model. I have two external drives that I sync via rsync occasionally (1 local, 1 offsite). No matter what type of dongle I use, one of the disks always ejects shortly after beginning the rsync. Even with the Apple dongle, when I plug in one of the external disks via usb-a, and plug my usb-c power to the dongle, then plug in the 2nd external disk directly to the only other usb-c on the mac, it fails every time.

What I have been doing instead is unplugging the power cord and syncing the disks while running on battery. This seems to work, but the odd thing here is that about 50% of the time when I do this I lose my wifi connection as soon as I begin the rsync from disk to disk. Nothing I can do makes the network work again until after I unmount the external disks.

Having only two ports on the computer, one of which is also used for power, has turned out to be far more annoying than I imagined.

I'd like to see is for the search drop-down to list locations that aren't already in the trip database. This way it prevents people from misspelling locations when they are the first person to add it to the site.

My favorite YouTube channel is that of Matthias Wandel:

  https://www.youtube.com/user/Matthiaswandel
A software engineer by training, Matthias was one of the first 10 employees at RIM, and after he "retired" a few years ago he began making woodworking videos. His videos are great because of his background (he grew up working on his father's sawmill) and he brings an engineer's approach to woodworking. I've never done any woodworking, but I enjoy his videos because of the way he approaches and solves design problems.

Some of the marble machines he's made are incredible.

Listening to Live Phish always gets my brain in gear:

  1. http://www.livephish.com/
  2. http://www.phishtracks.com/
With Live Phish (non-studio stuff) you get some very long jams with minimal lyrics and long riffs. For some reason this really jump starts my productivity.

For a good one listen to the famous "Tahoe Tweezer": http://www.phishtracks.com/shows/2013-07-31/tweezer

Also, check out Marco Arment's "Geek Intro to Phish": http://www.marco.org/2011/05/26/geek-intro-to-phish

There is no registration at defcon, it's all anonymous. You hand them cash for a badge and a packet of info/stickers/cd and are on your way.

With MtGox you can also make cash deposits at any local Chase Bank branch. MtGox has extremely easy to follow instructions for this on the 'funding' page in your account. This may only be available to verified users, I am not sure.

Would you mind offering up a few of your favorites? I'm always looking for quiet places to eat in the city, particularly around the village.
