The concept seems great. I would expand it beyond just mental health. Sounds like a fab idea for a new-level dating app TBH

Great! Bookmarked!

Feature request: a nice sound when each section is finished. Sometimes I'm not looking at the screen while doing the exercise, so a sound marking the section changes would be nice.

Yep, apple completely wrecked the app store discovery process with iOS 6. It's a real shame IMO.
Re:Why I Hate Buying Tickets on Sunday August 19, 2012 @08:12PM (#4405712)
Brown Paper Tickets is excellent up-and-coming ticketing company that I've used multiple times for alternative events in the pacific northwest. I'd love to see more companies take on the ticketmaster empire. https://www.brownpapertickets.com
Em is probably the very simplest guitar chord to play, only needing 2 fingers beside each other. Yet it doesn't come in at the top of the list. So I don't think your explanation is the dominant force here.

Also, there's a cute picture of a sad-face cloud. lol.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.19, since FF4 wasn't working well on my mac when I tried it.

I tried upgrading to FF4 on OSX, and it was a disaster: crashing on me left, right, and center. I went back to FF3.6 in under a week of use. I suggest OSX users wait for some stability updates before upgrading.
Re:LSD: The Geek's Wonder Drug on Friday April 29, 2011 @07:13PM (#2499351)
I would also strongly advise against regular use of LSD.

I think LSD trips are highly influenced by your state of mind and intention towards the trip. Sometimes I've tripped looking for a spiritual event or revelations, and they often show up (in some form or another). Other times I've done it more 'just for fun' and there hasn't been as much revelation in it.

LSD has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. I now reserve it for special occasions, and combine a bit of ceremony to it. It's a powerful substance, so treat it with the weight it deserves.

Apple is one of the most important player in digital video content distribution, through the itunes store.
Re:WWDC sold out in ten hours. on Monday March 28, 2011 @08:01PM (#2380700)
Apple used to offer student scholarships to WWDC (I got one back in 2003). It looks like they no longer do that though (as of just this year).

The novel Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut explores this theme in an interesting manner.
I put in my 778 area code phone number to test. You should detect this area code is on pacific time, and adjust accordingly. The time you told me was 3 hours off.
