I enjoyed the post about the future of education. Similar thoughts have crossed my mind (to the point where I have a small side-project going on).

It is important to remember that physical pain is divided into two categories by athletes. "Pain" that indicates a broken bone or injury, which is typically a lot sharper pain and "Pain" that indicates growth, which is being sore after a workout.

tldr; Learn what kinds of pain you should be pushing through.

Trigger.io has been a great platform, counting reliability, ease of use and support. We're having no platform related issues with a forge/backbone/requirejs approach to our app. I highly suggest a look if you're currently using something like Sencha Touch/PhoneGap.

Cool idea, I would definitely use it, but it seems that when using Spaces Shade will only cover a single space at a time.
