I have always said that language designers are crazy people. This talk begins to explain why and how they are crazy. I don't know if the insanity is caused by programming language design or is necessary to begin the tasks of programming language design.



Still, this is fascinating and useful.

I'm in the question section of O'Reilly's Webcast on HTML5 APIs, presented by +Ido Green. This is only slightly less mind-blowing than the Javascript-as-Lisp video I shared a few days ago. We REALLY live in the future, folks.



"The Web Can Do That!?" I said that several times during this presentation.

You all know what I'm intending to do with this. You all know it's for the Easy Button project. Is there any reason to go with the Teensy++? I'm thinking the project is simple enough and the size requirements are small enough (fit in an Easy Button) that the cheaper option is also the smarter one.

497x373 pixels are ideal image dimensions on Google+



You already know it's smart to upload an image with your posts, and naturally you want this image to look its best.



Make your image 497x373 px and Google+ will not resize it nor will your image get ugly black sidebars.



I always upload images in PNG format, unless the image is too big (more than 500 KB). Then I save the image as JPG.

I'm working with TEDxPurdueU (kinda wish we could drop that last U) and one of the things we're looking at is the theme for next year. I've been charged with developing the web form. I wanted to make it with/on their page, but I don't have permissions yet. Second choice is with a web form via Google Docs. I've not done it before, and this is my test.



THIS IS NOT THE REAL ONE. But please bang on this a little, and give suggestions on how to improve it for when I put it out for real. Thanks.

Something to think about. I already do much of it; I don't get beeped on everything at my desktop, but only a few, very specific and judged important stimuli. When my boss, my wife, or my bank (warning me of overdraft issues) sends me an email, I get notified. Otherwise most new messages can hang. But there's still more to be done.

This is really problematic. My time for exercising is before I shower for work, which is ideally 6-7am but is often more like 6:40-7:30am, which really pushes my schedule. 3-4 hours before I exercise, or even 1 hour, I am asleep. And I resist carrying water when I run.
