Thanks, I'll make those changes

Ok, I'll be shameless and throw my mine in: https://summit-puzzle.me

I just wrote a blog post about using A* to solve puzzles in my game: Mondrian. http://jefarmstrong.com/posts/building-mondrian2-astar/ I think you might find it interesting.

Hey everyone, I'm also a co-founder of CueNotes. Try installing the chrome extension we built and then watch this Limp Bizkit video with comments by Fred Durst: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx9n-1ginEc

These guys are in my backyard and are featured in a great documentary on sustainability which focuses on the Sourland mountains in NJ (http://www.sourlands.com/).

You should subscribe to his podcast - http://techzinglive.com

It's a really fun tech podcast that is always one of the first things I listen to when a new one comes out. Just check out the list of recent interviews: Gabriel Weinberg, Derek Sivers, Jessica Mah, Patrick McKenzie, and more.

What he's trying to say, I think, is that you can only benefit from "being at the right place at the right time" if you have put in the effort to be ready to capitalize on that moment. If you put in the hard work, then there are many right moments and right places, otherwise they're just another moment that passes you by. DHH seems to be very angry lately, no?

One factor that I think the post gets wrong is that it's hard to make a bomb. The NYC "bomb" that just fizzled is a good example. From the limited descriptions it sounds like that thing would never have blown up. Catch fire and burn, maybe. You can't just throw some propane tanks, a couple of fireworks and gas together and expect it to blow up. The Oklahoma bomb was a huge undertaking. Also, the more time and effort you put into building a real bomb, the more likely you are to get caught - buying lots of (the right kind of) fertilizer is a telltale sign.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. :-)

So the article says that #0044CC is the $80 million color. But if you check bing.com they're using #0033CC. So what's up? Maybe it's a trick to get everyone to switch to the obviously inferior #0044CC color while bing laughs all the way to the bank with the real killer color!!

Bing - #0033CC Google - #2200CC DuckDuckGo - #3068DD Facebook - #3B5998 (what where THEY thinking? ;-)

It really still depends on your use case. At my day job I advocated switching from SVN to HG and the change has been great - now we "branch" and merge constantly and it really helped our processes. On my iPhone game at home I still use SVN with beanstalk.com and it works great.

Very nice vision by Penguin. I can see the iPad being used by little kids all the way up to college students. I wonder how many colleges will give every incoming student an iPad?
