ok so that didnt work… I thought if I made a custom text to include “<!— more —>” and only rendered it when it was a reblog and a text post I could have all my reblog “conversation” under a read more by default. Then I realized that would put everything under the...

You would think while fixing my third cup of coffee I would be alert enough not to put the metal spoon I just used to stir the scolding hot coffee in my mouth and yet the burn proves otherwise…
We need: A programmable Twitter client
The scrolling thing can be cumbersome I wont disagree with this but there are ways to get around this. For example a read more block… while this is a new supported feature the option to customize how ones posts appear has been a feature for as long as I have been using Tumblr. It’s true this requires going in and editing ones theme however the documentation for editing the theme is...

Hmm Supertweets. That sounds familiar. (Most of the posts are gone, but there is enough.)

Unix had a shell language. DOS had a batch language. Lotus 1-2-3 had its macro language. Emacs is a programming tool as much as it is a text editor. We have gotten out of the habit of making programmable end-user products, but they are still just...

(via brynlutes)
I cant wait for batteries that grow and recharge automagically! I have been dreaming of the death of disposable batteries since I was an original b/w gameboy addict… I may or may not have personally funded the R&D department of Energizer between the years of 1995-2000 with all the “AA”s I made my parents buy! Let me just take a moment to thank the rents!...

For the past few weeks I have been working on a MENACE(matchbox educable naughts and crosses engine) built in PHP for a presentation in my bus 141 class. Take a look and play a few games. The table below it is a visual representation of the database that represents the matchboxes. If you find a bug please head over here and be sure to let me know. Every game played helps the computer learn how to...

Next-Generation Robots Ready for Combat →
nerdology:
Robots, robots, robots. They’re going to kill us, we all know it’s going to happen. It’s far more likely than a zombie attack, and I’ve come to accept that. I do my part in preventing the robot uprising by NOT building robots and sending them off to war.
The same can’t be said for Foster-Miller and (hilariously named) iRobot. Both companies received hundreds of millions of...
