So you're implying that the strength of the Ring is a function of only distance?

I would say the article more then discusses the fact that it's a function of distance AND time.

Cool project.

Agree on that you could give a bit more before asking for a email though.

I actually like how lean the design is, just good enough to be serviceable and leaves you time for feedback.

Kudos.

Thanks! I will add some more content to the site.

Hackers are magpies; we like shiny things.

In lieu of that though, how about about PC parts? A sweet GPU/mobo/PSU would be awesome.

Mechanical keyboards; good earphones etc.

Yeah fix up the look first; grab a template somewhere and modify it from there.

I just do something that wakes me up when I get home and make sure I get a good night's rest (7-8 hours) each and every night.

For me, competitive Starcraft 2 really wakes me up (better than espresso).

+! for Paul Hegarty's iOS course from Stanford found here: http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-dev...

Seriously can't go wrong with it. He's ex-apple I believe and was something like the 10th employee or something. IE: One of the makers of Obj-C.

Great lectures packed with tons of demos to get you coding as he talks.

He doesn't do any Cocoas2D stuff though; so if you're looking for games I would go somewhere else.

Ray Wenderlich's site is also a really good resource here: http://www.raywenderlich.com/

Yeah, great work. Pretty impressive; how long did all that take you?

Pretty Apple inspired though; as someone said in the comments above maybe Microsoft does need to have separate public entities much like the way telecomms up here in Canada are doing (Koodo/Wind etc.)

Nitpick: while Koodo is owned by Telus, Wind is independent. Chatr, Fido, and Virgin are some of the other brands owned by the big operators. (Solo was another one, I just learned they're being killed off by Bell now.)

For me, motivation is key.

I pick something I want to make, and make the feature that provides the most "bang for my buck" per say.

IE: When I tinker around with my Arduino Uno, I always try to get something to move first (turn the motors). Huge motivational boost for me. THAN, I figure out how the heck to get it to talk wirelessly with my laptop.

Both those things could be useful in the future, and probably not in the way you think.

I'm not advising you to go "play around" so to speak, but opening up and learning how to get people to like you would be an invaluable asset if you ever get involved in the startup scene.

Heck, I think it's useful in everyday life.
