  1. Online youth activism in action! 9-year-old’s lunch blog shames school into changes grist.org/list/nine-year… via @hackernewsbot
  2. @bootifulgame apologies, it's been a busy week -- i'm excited to find a way to help! Thx for your patience.
  3. What's the most reliable way to ship hard copies of irreplaceable documents (family photos, hand-written notes)? qr.ae/RD1v1
  4. @bootifulgame thanks, and please do! Will respond shortly.
  5. Partisanship is not a legitimate critique of Hanauer's TED talk. It is a non-partisan fact that "job creator" is a GOP talking point.
  6. TED's side of the "too hot for TED" story: tedchris.posterous.com/131417405 and here's the original talk youtube.com/watch?v=bBx2Y5…
  7. @dfeldman Apple is optimizing their "will you tolerate our abuse?" filters. Fax is A/B'd against moving a sandpile with tweezers.
  8. @johnjhorton @hadleywickham Anyone explored how far academic software dev lags behind the practices of the biz/hacker/startup world?
  9. Was someone just not paying attention when they created this ad? img.skitch.com/20120428-ds3cx…
  10. @thegdb Even if college were 3 or 5 years, I suspect senior slump would kick in final year as one figures out what's next.
  11. New awesomeness from @baydin (the Boomerang for Gmail folks) -- watch the demo video: boomerangcalendar.com #bcalbeta
  12. @antrod That would be Shakespearean theater. My two-year-old thought the polar bear was the highlight of the show!
  13. @grimmelm about time! :-)
  14. @scottmotte very cool. Unclear from the vid: does @boxysign function as secure signing in the sense of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_s… ?
  15. @matthewstoller Love the series, great way to make this stuff tangible.
  16. @grimmelm I'm sure that $25k fine will make Google and others think twice in the future.
