Yes yes yes! I figured I'd give the comments a casual once-over before posting this. Glad I got beat to posting it!

Oh my god, those are hotel room parts. I'm absolutely doing that!

Whatever that was, it was well-done!

I haven't yet started using voice commands. Partly because of laziness, but mostly because I have family that frequently walks in while I'm working and starts talking. I don't mind, but I don't think voice commands would work for me.
Also, aaargh popunders! I kill those things ASAP. Any change that forces them to…

I came here for this. Thank you!

I used to do computer repair for an office supply company (we'll call it Paperclips). The manager there constantly told me that my department was a waste of money and he'd rather see me doing something useful, like selling stuff (this was when they first started and hasn't yet really realized how profitable it was).…

The biggest things we did involved setting up separate savings accounts and setting up automatic transfers to them.
We have one account for rent, one for general savings, and one called ridiculousity (which we use for going on dates, etc).
The day before each payday, half of our checking account goes to savings and half…

It worked out well for Wile E. Coyote.

I live next to the ocean and literally in the flight path of the cost guard rescue choppers. Given how hard it is to find someone that's lost at sea and how critical time is in those situations, I actually would like to see the coast guard use drones TO HELP WITH SEARCH & RESCUE.

I was actually looking forward to voice getting G+ integration—in an ideal world, it would mean the end of phone numbers. You could instead say which circles are allowed to call you, and the rest works like the new gmail/g+ integration.

Damn. Came here hoping to find out this wasn't the case this time.

Amazing. Thank you for this.

(Alt: What's that? You think I don't like the Peters map because I'm uncomfortable with having my cultural assumptions challenged? Are you sure you're not ... ::puts on sunglasses:: ... projecting?)

That was wonderful. Ermahgerd. Er. Mah. Gerd.

Holy shitballs! I saw The Thirteenth Floor as a kid, and I've had that exact scene (and only that scene) stuck in my head for the past few months. Since I'd never heard reference of it or seen that image since watching the movie, I just assumed it was something I'd dreamt up, and only halfheartedly googled it.

I've been playing with Linux for a while now, eventually building (and breaking, and rebuilding, and so on...) my own home server. I never really thought much of it until I got a job doing web development. Immediately, I was able to see and fix several issues that would have blown right by me otherwise.

I hate that people look at me like I kicked a puppy when I try to use metric anything.

We had a brush fire the other day. I remember rain (I'm exaggerating, but barely). Old timers are starting to give up reminiscing about the fog.

I live in California. Apparently we're good!*
