I met these guys back in September and we talked a lot about Providence restaurants. Glad to see they're doing well enough to get sued by Brown... Sort of...

Off topic, but Linux Advocates, your "Cloud Categories" widget is morbidly obese. It's a mass of swirling red letters that looks like it's straight out of a 4chan Zalgo-Text thread. It's using more memory than all my other Chrome tabs combined.

The article doesn't succeed, in my opinion, in making the argument that more CO2 is produced.

"during Earth Hour, any significant drop in electricity demand will entail a reduction in CO2 emissions during the hour, but it will be offset by the surge from firing up coal or gas stations to restore electricity supplies afterward."

Note: Offset. Not negated.

"And the cozy candles that many participants will light, which seem so natural and environmentally friendly, are still fossil fuels—and almost 100 times less efficient than incandescent light bulbs. Using one candle for each switched-off bulb cancels out even the theoretical CO2 reduction; using two candles means that you emit more CO2."

So if you use a candle and if you use more than one candle for every single light switched off, then you're emitting more CO2.

The "Don't have an Android phone?" link brings you to an early access signup page. Can this be used on a device besides Android? While I have a droid and really like the idea, it doesn't help me if all of my friends (all of them iPhone users) are unable to use it.

If you have Spotify, I made a playlist that puts me into beast mode:

Note that Port St. Willow's album "Holiday" should come right after Tim Hecker's "Ravedeath, 1972".

Holiday isn't on Spotify currently, but it'll be back on in April. If you can find it, give it a listen. On its own, it's great as work music.

My favorite, Hero:

An Ohio NBC affiliate morning show says something hyperbolic.

1. The item on thingiverse isn't referred to as a 3D pen.

2. Extrusion is the mechanism through which most 3D printing works. In this case, the extruder is attached to your arm rather than to a machine.

Unless you lie and tell them that it's something other than a sheet of A4 paper, no, you haven't swindled them. You sold a sheet of A4 paper at the price that someone was willing to pay.

Swindled?

Seriously?

Seriously. The guys who made it run a toy company.

The problem is, the toy is seemingly imperfect and pretty simple, and yet it's gotten a ton of praise, and a ton of money. Some of the rest of the world then gets mad because they didn't think of and capitalize on this seemingly simple venture first.

I like it. Just saying.

You wouldn't download and 3D-print a car.

This is the worst thing I've seen all day.

Did you read the article? The entire thing is about how Instagram has NOT said they're adding ads, and likely, based on the VP's response, actively trying to stay away from them.
