Haven't tried it out yet, but looks nice. Surprised to see that this wasn't authored by Mario Klingemann, creator of the very clever LowpolyBot: http://lowpolybot.tumblr.com/

The TRON/Lightcycle genre is at its very best as a PvP(xN) game. Haven't logged in for years, but there used to be dozens of very active servers running Armagetron Advanced, and it…

Have you considered a chloropleth[1]? Similar effect to a heat map but likely much easier to implement. Just shade each of your already defined regions by [sightings/area]. [1] htt…

I take this article to be an argument against snake-oil panaceas, just broadly overstated in its phrasing. Not a generally useful piece, but a healthy rebuttal to the woo reduction…

I am also interested to see what comes of this, but it's been pointed out that is paper is somewhat suspect with seemingly little input from Nahuatl language experts or prior liter…

Far cleverer RapGenius growth hack exposed: RG has seemingly generated a unique URL w/ for each line of each of each song listing. Google slurps these up and gives them prominent S…

Thanks. It was an exhausting and inspiring day, and your support builds the inspiration. I've slapped together a blog with some photos for now, and more info to come. http://growqu…

Like the whiz-bang Lawton stuff? Any other good ones? Nice idea. I'm not much of a videographer, but I'm trying to document this project with some footage as well.

If you're referring to physical/material kits, that'd be difficult, as the elements of life don't package well. If you're talking about packaging informational materials, that's an…

I just slapped together http://growquad.tumblr.com/ with some photos from today's first work day. Will be posting more updates about design, implementation, and progress.

A biodiverse, edible forest garden in the center of an public high school. We are breaking ground with a team of students in about an hour. This is (very) cool because it will expo…

f.lux http://justgetflux.com/ As much a brain hack as a Mac hack. #1 recommendation.

This guy basically brought the internet to our little seaside town decades ago. Looks like he's now trying to foster a startup culture here just over the mountains from the Valley.…

This not being a causal study, I wonder if higher coffee consumption is linked to other factors that may or may not cause glaucoma... say, computer work.

My trust in PayPal is certainly eroded by the new User Agreement, though I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Anyone have insight on what they're doing here? Just more slings …

You may be interested in David Cope's work with his program Emily Howell. It can create quite convincing (and beautiful) new works in the style of any composer, given a sufficient …

45 minutes, zero comments, and the site is down. Overdose?

Another walled garden? What is the advantage of posting to this service? Increased readership? Huge font? I don't see IP terms posted anywhere... Or any reason to be excited about …

Google Analytics might meet your needs if you script Events into your app. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection...

Very nice, useful. I find the scroll overflow on the screenshot display to be clunky and uncomfortable, though. I think I'd prefer a shrink-to-fit/click-to-expand situation. Also, …

An intriguing idea... can you extrapolate on the possible value of deriving histograms or feature data from pop art?

I expect it likely that Facebook would gladly break any software that alters how users interact with their datastore.
