  1. Sending venerable @hardwear Dragon jacket for repairs. Given how well its held up, I suspect use of actual dragon hide. twitter.com/flamsmark/stat…
  2. @JoeBeOne Why can't the edge of the home network do that? This seems like a great feature for routers/modems/APs.
  3. @LeapMotion Is there a mailing list I can sign up to for an alert when Linux or Android support is added?
  4. San Francisco federal building gets my vote for "most evocative of our inevitable dystopian future". Who designed it? twitter.com/flamsmark/stat…
  5. @binarybits How much did it end up costing you?
  6. @binarybits @DouthatNYT @normative If your morals come from gods, the rigor of some atheists' ethics can be an alien mode of thought.
  7. @binarybits @DouthatNYT @normative Seems like a standard permutation on "no secular morality" ignoring much modern political philosophy.
  8. @m_c_t Also: I understand that there's also a lot if dead-tree spam. In some cases: enough to cause fire and trip hazards.
  9. @m_c_t Way ahead of you. I give out unique addresses at my domain. Makes everything easier.
  10. registered to vote in SF... at the last moment. I look forward to mountains of political spam at my doorstep! twitter.com/flamsmark/stat…
  11. It would be great to be able to customize Osmos' controls so that the mouse scroll wheel is replaced with keyboard controls.
  12. I've discovered that it's rather difficult to play Osmos (from the @humbe bundle) on a laptop whose mouse does not have a scroll wheel.
  13. Hey @github, looks like you have killer desktop apps out for both Windows and Mac. Is a GNU/Linux version on the roadmap?
  14. @binarybits @deezthugs Assuming that the rate is moderate, and generally predictable, qualities central banks should aim for, right?
  15. @deezthugs @binarybits The point seem to be that inflation only harms savers who choose cash, rather saving using another value store.
  16. @SceneTap That message contains new information. Simply restating your architecture in plain language does not allay anyone's concerns.
  17. Game designers are experts at training people in complex skills. Perhaps other software & situations should take note? j.mp/JGS3cc
