I've seen this many a time. The trick is to come to a stop at the edge, and then walk out. If you are moving any kind of speed, folks on the edge will just assume you are disoriented and give you that "helpful" shove back into the mix.

Its really not that crazy. Its probably 5-6 hrs at a modest speed. Doable if you break it up. If its not too crazy hilly you just need some reasonable fitness and a conditioned rear end.

I'd be more concerned about when your kids figure out the gestures control things.

I am with you on the LCD. I was annoyed that B&N went to them. I love e-ink. I swear my eyes sigh with relief when I go from coding to reading it.

Luddites were against technology that cost them jobs and made them generally obsolete. They'd weren't simply anti-technology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

Given that, you may be set in your ways, or have standards that don't match the trends, but I wouldn't say you are a Luddite. (Though, perhaps, you are a deadtree publisher..?)

It is less about equity than it is about tired, damaging stereotyping.

You asked HN news this? Really? Really?

That's why I always tweet 'In closet, with gun' before I leave the house.
