There's a few npm modules for the command line, so you can do the likes of `geojsonio < some.geojson` or `togeojson my.{kml,gpx,…} | geojsonio`
geojson.io uses gist.github.com as a data store: http://geojson.io/#id=gist:anonymous/92dd314a02c072d658f4&ma...
> The net effect is that if anyone, ever tried to send a text message to you and several other people at the same time you will not receive it.
I do receive these. I haven't ever heard from anyone "Hey, you didn't come to my <birthday party, other event>!?!?!
I cannot send them. YMMV?
When I got home (US) I bought an iPad with AT&T 3G and put that SIM card into the 3GS. I had to install a special profile to make everything work, but that was all it took for a data-only 'phone' plan.
It's a bit klunky. I make calls with an app called Talkatone, and the quality when I'm on 3G gets very bad. It's better at home and work over wifi, but some friends still complain about sound quality and lag.

The annotated regions pass thru angularfire as geojson. Put 3 screens side by side. As soon as someone adds an annotation on one of them it pops up instantly on the others. This was < 20 lines of bad-I'm-new-to-angular code. Firebase is cool.
The water washes me clean. Often 100% and always most of the way. It took a bit to get the hang of it: to get a good wash I find it helps to clench my butt muscles and wiggle on the seat. After 5-10 seconds, I wipe with the cloth: old t-shirts cut into ~4x8" rectangles. The water does a much better job of cleaning than toilet paper.
When I first had the bidet I used toilet paper after the spray to dry off. It was only slightly less miserable than having a waterlogged ass. I needed twice as much paper to dry myself off as I would have used to wipe.
For a while I hung an old microfiber towel next to the toilet and used that, but "oh, that's just my butt-towel…" is an interesting conversation to have. So I cut up some old shirts. They go into a bucket after use and I wash them regularly. The cloth is what makes it work.
I can only imagine what it would be like to have a blowdryer down there.
Slim is mentioned in the writeup. It's faster than Haml. I like it better.
Compared to apple's Phone and Messages, Talkatone is complete shit. It mostly works, all the while looking horrible and feeling worse. At least 25% of my incoming calls don't connect when I answer them from another app. The audio quality isn't great. (google's voice app is a bit better but it's still an offense to any decent iPhone app. And it only does texts and connects calls to your actual phone number with a callback.)
There are some hacky VOIP/SIP solutions for the iPhone. But having it call through google's servers is killer and offsets the horrendous UI. So thank you talkatone.
I've played a bit of softball and kickball and I'm not a huge fan. Likewise most dodgeball. Otherwise it's all great.
I'd like to see an adult renaissance in capture the flag and other 'kid' games.
So by repeatedly hitting ^p after a paste you can cycle back quite a ways. Way easier than ":reg, now where did that go?"
Syntastic: calls out syntax errors for lots of different languages.
Command-T: I've had some trouble getting this compiled and keeping it working when updating vim. But it's the how I open new buffers.
Solarized: is a nice :color. I use the dark.
Pathogen: seems to be the way to manage plugins. I started vim from textmate ~a month ago using Janus. This week I changed from Janus to pathogen and it's a lot nicer now. (all of tpope's stuff is great as zefhous us mentioned.)

I don't like to think apple would bow this deeply to the recording industry. Maybe the government. Either way it turns my stomach.
"At block 950, a record function can be disabled. For example, if the encoded data includes a disable command, the device can temporarily disable its record function for a period of time after receiving the command (e.g., 30 seconds or 30 minutes). After the device's record function is disabled, the device may not be able to store images detected by the device. In some embodiments, after the device's record function is disabled, the device may not be able to even display images detected by the device (see, e.g., system 500 shown in FIG. 5). In some embodiments, a device may even delete one or more of the most recently stored images (e.g., the first image detected at block 910) when disabling the device's record function."

Have they added a real gps to the touch yet? I think that's one of the best parts of having an iPhone.
Mine are far less cutesy than his because the only indication that a photo is being taken is the little green light activating for a split second. But more authentic i think.
One feature request: could you somehow weigh the different artists in my history according to what I've been listening to lately? I've got 7 years of audioscrobbler history, and my musical tastes have been everywhere in that time. Today they're pretty far out there as far as people my age go. The matches it shows me line up much better with a five-years-younger me. I'm sure you've already thought of this and lots of data needs to be there before the matching can get complex. Just wanted to throw in my pennies.
The recovery process was amazing. I'm tremendously thankful for my 2. If you don't play an instrument yourself, take time some time to watch someone who does up close. Look at them move!
Making/crafting things in the real world as opposed to in software is nice. And hearing/watching/playing music, for me mostly a blend of acoustic/bluegrass.
