The web view looks great, with a "week planner" feel to it. I instantly got it and started adding some items to it.

But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct term).

Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the Mac app?

I find the microwaves with dials just last longer, and they are usually cheaper. In my experience, the touch pads on the digital ones breakdown faster.

There used to be a site call ClerkDogs.com that probably had the best movie recommendation system I've used. You started off naming a few movies you liked, and it would provide a list of movies you'd also probably like, and it was very accurate.

From what I remember, the database was cataloged and maintained by actual humans, and not some algorithm following behavior patterns.

New word learned -

Strident stri·dent strīdnt/Submit adjective 1. loud and harsh; grating. "his voice had become increasingly sharp, almost strident"

Slight off-topic question: I want to collect my own metadata at this level (for just calls and SMS)?

From what I can tell I need to collect:

- List of all incoming and outgoing calls and SMS

- Get my location data and match them to the timestamp (?) of the calls and SMS's

- Display this on a map.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

First of all, awesome concept. This might just force me to stop using nano all the time.

I'm curious though as to why the developer chose to limit the license to 6 months when charging a flat ~$5 per month might be easier to sell?

The About page, http://thomasfriedmanopedgenerator.com/about.php, doesn't say much on how this was done. So far, I see a pattern in the writing style with a lot of:

An interesting thought occurred to me today—what if X_Profession sat down with ordinary people like you and me and ironed out some real solutions to our Y_Issue crisis?

But does anyone know how the rest of it was generated?

If the search for knives truly is the culprit that's clogging up screening lanes, maybe those who bring them should be fined.

This single sentence could potentially solve the entire problem. By having a financial penalty, instead of just confiscating the problematic item, would force people to reconsider what is and isn't allowed.

I was going to make the same comment. The 100 attendee limit is very hard to do in a country where 1,000s would be willing to attend. Maybe, and this is really just back-of-napkin-math, if the limit was 0.00001 of the total population?
