  1. Home-made mango lassie: 1 part mango, 1 part ice, 1/2 part plain unsweetened Kefir, touch of sugar blend on high until foamy. Mmmmm.
  2. Chowing down on a paleo lunch from @happybellytruck at stove works. #foodtruckwednesday chicken on pesto zucchini strips mmmmmm
  3. Great quote on hiring: "Hire slow, fire fast. (It's better to have a hole than an a-hole.)" from the99percent.com/articles/7174/
  4. We had 6 ppc visitors this morning that spent 10m+ on our site but didn't sign up. We are definitely doing something wrong.
  5. @verhine I like that shot, nice!
  6. Just learned about AI Servo mode on my DSLR. Niiiiice. Maybe my next shots of kids running at the camera will be in focus.
  7. Anyone know how to normalize the x-height of a font? Having serious sizing issues due to Italianno: fontsquirrel.com/fonts/italianno being so tiny!
  8. GRRR Comcast is so evil. Maybe not maliciously, mostly monopoly incompetence. Maybe maliciously. I wish I could buy cable from a small biz.
  9. @mmealling urban pl8 has a lot of paleo stuff. I can't comment on the strictness but it's very tasty!
  10. @znbailey we don't have enough volume for it to matter yet but when we do, we will upload straight to s3. Not sure nginx+fpm would help...
  11. @andrewwatson @znbailey yeah I know it can be done but I want it integrated with the drag n drop uploader.
  12. @jamescosta thanks for sharing but I think youeye is the winner for me. Already gotten several reviews from customers. Way cheaper too.
  13. @znbailey we use php but it shouldn't matter. It's a standard http post upload.
  14. @sanjay @bnix wow! Amazed that no one else had solved the problem yet... There is such huge demand!
  15. @sanjay Do you feel like you've finally mastered the conference wifi situation? If so please tell @bnix how! Hundreds of people will thank u
  16. Researching remote user testing w/screen and webcam recording, @YouEyeTests is hands-down the best I found. Anyone else have opinions?
  17. Apple genius bar hooked me up with a free power brick replacement due to class action, woot! If you have old style mag safe do it by 5/15
