Hey all - author here. I've built out a little site for my screencasts.

I'd love to hear any suggestions or feedback! Also if you have any issues with the site please let me know (it's very much a side project).

Looks nice! Are you planning to compare conversion metrics of the old design vs. the new? That would be very interesting!

No problem! Glad you're enjoying it!

I pushed a temporary fix that (I believe) corrects this.

Unfortunately it leads to a slight UX regression in that you are no longer automatically routed to your country of the day.

Good idea! Any APIs that you have in mind?

Of course! It's open source and available here: https://github.com/bolandrm/countryaday

Mostly AngularJS and Sinatra

Where are you at that it's breaking? What browser? It seems to be working ok for me (chrome). Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Edit: I see what you mean. I'm looking into a solution.

I found myself wanting to learn more about history/culture/politics/etc of more countries throughout the world, so I built a little web app that provides you with one country to learn about each day.

The information provided is intended to just be a starting point; I see the using this as a study guide.

Any feedback is welcome. This is the first personal project that I've shipped!

Edit: I hope you guys don't mind if I add a personal plug. I'm not a full time web developer, and I would very much like to be (I currently design and maintain safety systems for commuter transit). I'm especially interested in Ruby/Rails, but I can generally pick anything up quickly. If anyone would be willing to help me out (advice, job recommendations, resume tips, etc) I would be very grateful. My email can be found in my profile.

I agree that tablets/phones/etc are a great way for children to learn and interact.

However, I'm always weary that they become accustomed to getting everything "on demand". Anecdotally, I have young family members who have a hard time focusing when it comes to things like homework. I guess it's possible that I could have imagined this connection though.

I'd love to see a study take a look at how these devices affect children's attention spans as they get older.

I think he means Cyprus?

I'm near Pittsburgh; sky looks clear but no sign of anything yet.

There are actual use cases for the caps lock key. For example, drafters working on any kind of technical drawing will extensively use capital letters.

Something I have always wondered about: how do you obtain/afford health insurance? (This is most likely a US-only problem)

I don't think so. Any designers interested in collaborating on something like this? Email me!
