PyPalm is an easy tool that should help to work with the Palm webOS SDK from the command line. Basically it should be used as a shortcut replacement for the native tools.

I'll need to come up with a different categorization system, but Jamie's getting lumped in with the open source group for now. :)

""If cortisol is high and serotonin is low, you'll seek carbs and fats, but really heavy duty on the simple carbs -- sugar-based sweets like chocolate bars," Peeke says. The reason: Simple sugars are metabolized more quickly than complex carbs, so they offer a quick serotonin fix. If cortisol is way up but serotonin is relatively normal, a woman is more likely to crave a fat-carb combo without a huge sweet component, such as a bagel laden with cream cheese, Peeke says."

"Oooh! i just did this! It was a long-awaited home improvement project for our big closet that had absolutely no light. We bought a few rope lights from home depot (like this: http://www.lampsplus.com/product...) and put them around the *inside* door frame in the closet. Since there's no outlet in the closet, we drilled a small hole (1/2 inch) near the floor and door frame, and lopped the light cord through it and plugged it in an outlet outside the closet. We lightly glued the cord along the baseboard, and its totally not noticeable. Even better, we hooked the whole thing up to a motion detector so the light automatically comes on when we walk into the closet. The detectors let you angle which way you want them to point, so if you're worried about it turning on when you walk by the closet, just mount it in such a way that it doesn't point out of the closet door and only "sees" you when you step through the doorway. Best part? The whole setup only cost about $30-$40, its energy efficient, takes up no space, and gets the job done!"

we demoed CrowdFlower in the TechCrunch50 DemoPit last week on Tuesday with a live task in which we scanned images of a person’s business card and asked crowdsourced workers from the Amazon Mechanical Turk channel to write five kind words about the person based on what they saw. Here are some examples of what some workers said.

Thorough yet easily digestible (ha) article on why the American industrial food system is so horrible. Good for introducing the issue to friends and family.
