Edit: Thought you were serious :-/ Bullshit. Conformity is when you like something because other people like it. Not liking something because other people like it is conformity, just conformity with a group you think you should be a part of.

It was obviously a joke.

Ah, sarcasm on the Internet: got me again.

I'm working on setting a new layout for thingist (the current one [http://thingist.com] looks terrible).

The new layout is here: http://dev.thingist.com/index.html nothing here will work properly, though, and it will probably blip in and out of actually working (it's a staging server [well, a virtual one]).

Super What now?

Oh, you mean that new-commercial showcase everybody talks about? Most of them were on YouTube yesterday.

I'm hacking my pantry. Right now, making chicken stock by using leftover carcasses from whole chickens that I cut-up myself in the last few months. Will freeze the stock to keep it up to 3 - 4 months and during that time can cut-up some more chickens to use in the next cycle. The stock is very simple to make and involves mostly inactive cook time (3-4 hrs simmering) and it teaches you to work with whole chicken rather than cut-up parts, making it more economical. And, it makes your house smell wonderfully delicious :)

I noticed that there seems to be no easy way for Haskell programmers to use bcrypt, so I made something similar, with the goal of making good security trivial. It's just a slick API around PBKDF1, with painless support for increasing the number of iterations:

Now I've just got to persuade a few people to switch away from insecure methods.

I didn't even know it was today until all these Super Bowl articles started showing up. I was happy that the Bears lost a few weeks ago because it means I have another year to be able to walk around in my neighborhood without being hit by drunk drivers. (I live right by soldier field, and it seems they don't let you drive away from it unless you are utterly tanked. Someone ran a red light and was inches away from hit…

Sometimes it's hard to cheer for sports teams when you see the havoc their fans wreak. I used to think Chicago had it bad, but I have since learned that we're actually pretty tame when it comes to sports riots (at least until the Cubs finally win).

Reference: Montreal.

I was able to get shoehorn jquery-facebook-multi-friend-selector (https://github.com/mbrevoort/jquery-facebook-multi-friend-se...) To work for a beautiful mobile app I am working on, that I hope to show off soon.

I've been working on my project non-stop this weekend and yesterday was my birthday. Took a dinner and cake break and got back to it. When you're really into something, it's all you can think about!
