What fun is a slide show without a talk?

Perhaps tangential, but is there any way to be certain whether the webcam light can be controlled by software?

I often wonder if my MBP camera is necessarily off just because the ominous little green light isn't shining.

I keep wishing that I could remotely control any of my devices from any other.

I recommend Screenflick if you need more options than Quicktime provides, along with Soundflower for capturing device audio output.

Boo. Syntax inspired by Python. Fast, easily extensible compiler. All the power of .NET / Mono.

(But shitty website, and lots of confused kids on the Unity3D forum.)

I think .NET is pretty amazing (to have emerged out of Redmond, at least).

We are here. We are rich in resources, and an excellent source of protein.

I wonder what they taste like.

"Tell me more about these bohemians."

Right on. I would definitely constrain such a thing to a small subset of C++.

I wish someone would write a CoffeeScript for C++.

Damn. Still no ancient aliens.

Alright, what's a clampork?

Festo is just fascinating. I feel like a child every time they produce a new video like this.

Doesn't it seem more plausible that someone just executed a prank with a sheet of plastic, and a myth grew up around it?

Oh yes, please.

Here are my first impressions from a brief test drive.

And possibly remove your foot.

I've heard a teddybear works pretty well in a pinch.

For me, the epiphany usually hits when I finally break down and decide to ask for help. I realize my cognitive blind spot while composing a message for a forum post or email.

It's always good to step back and acquire a fresh perspective.

Nice idea, but for good results the leap API would need to be integrated into the application.

Now blender, on the other hand, is ripe for experimentation.

The show is excellent, IMHO. Delightfully wicked and intriguing.

Thanks. It turns out I enjoyed this very much, and though the syntax was a bit foreign it made a lot more sense than I expected.

Is this useful for someone with no knowledge of functional programming languages? I'm certainly interested in the topic.

I recently spent some time learning [ChucK](http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu), and used it to generate sound effects for my game. After several unsatisfactory crops with audacity and other tools (bfxr, etc), I found it to be a real pleasure to do the task with a text editor and terminal instead. I'm happy with the result, but I think I'd like to continue learning audio programming.

Yet more reason to promote entomophagy.

I keep wishing for this magical language to manifest, like a C++ compatible Boo. I only wish I were capable of building one myself.

I've recently taken to draping the strips over the rungs of the oven rack, and letting them drip into a foil-lined sheet pan.

I can't think of a better way. I strongly prefer to let the fat drip off.

Why would you package this up for convenient deployment? Don't be a jackass. Take it down.

Agreed. I wish there was a way to get rid of all the chrome in OSX.

And 4: they also fade.

I've been wearing the same seven solid black polyester tees for the past year or so and I'm sold on them.
