Be sure to check out the middle "star" in Orion's sword.

Translating pitch to a playable guitar tab would even more difficult than the pitch detection. Unlike the piano, the same note can be played in multiple places on the guitar neck. Auto-generating guitar tablature would require not only pitch detection, but some kind of logic that would pick the most appropriate string/fret depending on the surrounding notes/chords.

The sense of entitlement in the last few Olympics related posts is really getting obnoxious. Granted the article here makes a good point about it being silly to live tweet an event that is not being broadcast. But, everyone commenting seems to think watching the Olympics for free is a god given right.

I am excited that, unlike the NFL, MLB, and other professional sporting events, the live-streaming capability provided to NBC subscribers is actually quite thorough and high quality.

Good to know. Thanks for answering my comment! I went ahead and signed up for the beta as you struck my curiosity with the writing environment teaser! As for my thoughts on removing old content, I get a kick out of going back through the websites I used to frequent and reading things I wrote. The pack-rat in me would prefer to always have access to my past work. But, I do understand the logic in wanting to keep all of the content fresh. Maybe you could remove it but provide an option to have an old piece salvaged for a small fee?

Looks great! The design and typography are quite nice! I hate to be "that guy," but have you seen pen.io? Your site seems very similar. Also, what is the reasoning behind eventually removing articles. Is there an option to disable this feature?

I know right! There goes one of those Harvard Professors spouting out useless information again. Who in the world listens to them anyways!?

Slightly unrelated but your portfolio webpage is absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks for sharing, I find your writing style very engrossing. As someone who doesn't have much experience in academia, I have a new level of respect for Professors and Ph.D.'s.

Ooh, and the plot thickens! Just when I thought there could be no happy ending to this story!

I have been trying extremely hard to give Carreon the benefit of the doubt and understand his reasoning. I am beginning to wonder if he perhaps has a touch Asbergers syndrome, or something of the sorts.

In reading his remarks, he is obviously thoughtful, well read, and genuinely believes himself. But, there seems to be a stark contrast between what is going on in his head and the "real" world. Regardless, this is the online equivalent to trashy reality T.V. and I can not seem to tear my attention away.

I love the idea and the design work! When I was younger, my father would pay me the equivalent of a taxi to get him to and from the airport. Driving slow laps around the SFO terminal, wondering if the plane is even on the ground yet, was definitely a big problem.

Yes. I flirted with the idea of an online community with a half life. For example, every 6 months the URL would completely change and only the top 1% of members would be notified of the new location. It would be in their hands to repopulate the community.

I haven't figured out how to determine the top 1% but this was more a pipe dream a than serious potential project. Anyone is free to take the idea and run with it.

I was looking at the 500Startups class list today, and I realized a lot of these guys are not doing any on page SEO! I am putting my feelers out to see if there is a micro-business to be made here.

First signup from HN gets a free analysis.

This made me chuckle.

Just finished spending about $200 to get my garden going this year. I always look at it as an investment.

Call me paranoid, but that just made my stomach drop.

Good eye, thank you! Fixed that up just now.

Here is one: http://HNTop100.com -- the top Hacker News posts of all time! Sort by most up voted or most commented on. This took me way longer than it need to because I kept finding awesome articles to read! Enjoy xD

Looks like fun, gears are churning.

Yup, although I don't think the tagline was exclusive to Punchd. Maybe I mis-interpreted it, but I thought they were saying for all the mobile startups. Seeing as if the phone is in your pants...

I have a simple confirmation process to ensure the person signing up is actually the owner of the phone.
