I met a guy at a conference who has a fantastic system for learning and teaching languages. Evan Gardner developed this system to preserve dying languages, and demonstrated it by teaching about 15 ASL signs in an hour, and I still remember all of th…

I use a few of the 'labs' modules, especially 'multiple inboxes' which lets me group mail by label in a separate box on the screen. I hadn't thought of using the '+' notation with GMail, though; great idea! Thanks.

Is there a group registration discount? I'm putting together a group of independent Rails hackers, and every buck we can save goes into the 'food and beer' pool... :)

You know you can build your own, right? Check out the RepRap project. I don't think it can build a system with working gears in one pass, but it'd be fun to try!

Shoes, posture, code?

In April I walked many kilometers in Paris. After quite a few days of walking, sipping coffee and practicing my terrible French, I read a fascinating article on the problems we cause ourselves by wearing shoes with padding in the heels (I'm oversimplifying; feel free to read the article yourself). The padding insulates us from our repeated impacts, and we can't feel how we're walking. The article claims that this slowly damages our joi… Continue

No more business cards?

I subscribe to too many RSS feeds (via a nice RSS-to-email script on my email server), and every so often I go through and delete a pile of them. One of the most-deleted is 'VentureBeat', a log of who got funded, and who wants to be funded. Once in a while a really interesting post comes through, though, and I think this is one of those: Get rid of business cards.

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for the insightful business tax tricks used by out-of-state businesses. The idea of using royalties is definitely an eye-opener. Thanks for the CPA's contact info, too, I greatly appreciate it. :-)
