ecmendenhall on Show proggit: Partial Applications - Strategies for breaking creative blocks and solving tough problems. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I'm a big fan of [Oblique Strategies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...), a deck of cards printed by Peter Schmidt and Brian Eno containing cryptic aphorisms about art and creative work. I do most of my creating with a text editor and terminal, so I made a similar tool for programmers. It includes a tiny JSON API, and a command line interface a lot like *nix fortune. I wrote the site in Clojure and Clojurescript, which was a joy. (Everything but the CSS was written in s-expressions!) The CLI is a super-simple Node application. You can see all the code [here](https://github.com/ecmende...). Code I wrote is MIT licensed, and the text of all the strategies is CC-BY-NC, so you can remix them, build on top of them, or use them in projects of your own. Hope it helps you break through a few gnarly problems!"

Web programming in Clojure/ClojureScript is an absolute joy. No raw HTML, no template syntax, no JS, just Clojure. SCSS is the only holdout.
Help! I've been writing Clojure for a month and now my Python is turning into Lisp! https://t.co/NOj2447k
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll write a lexer, a grammar, and a parser." Now they have four problems.
It's a big deal! If the guts spill out of the sheep in the wrong direction or someone sees a woodpecker, we have to redo the election.
Everyone’s televising the speech, but only C-SPAN 2 is covering the ritual blood sacrifice in the rotunda dome.
Let me get this straight: everyone’s televising the speech, but the ritual blood sacrifice to Washington Trismegistus is only on C-SPAN 2.
Picture Chuck Schumer in the Presidential limo, whispering lines from Tertullian in the President’s ear.

The joke I nearly made moments ago is also a 10-month-old YouTube comment. Is this how it starts? What then am I to do? http://www.google.com/search...

Prediction: Legal marijuana: urban agriculture:: internet porn: streaming video. http://www.npr.org/2012...
Recent failed Googlewhacks: "120 Days of Soda", "You Don't Mess With The Zohar." Great job, internet!
An affair? How could we allow someone so morally compromised to keep running our secret robot assassination program? http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts...
Nate Silver is rad, but the results don't "prove" @fivethirtyeight right. All models are wrong, but this one is useful. He gets this.
Tonight we are divided, but tomorrow we are one. Let's focus on the values we share: bombing Pakistan and crashing towards fiscal disaster.
Who's reporting the popular vote including Gary Johnson? How far short of 5% is he running?
Here are @fivethirtyeight vs Intrade forecasts since June. http://obliscent.tumblr.com/post... I predict neither prediction will be falsified tonight.
Great internet dilemmas: where should I say happy birthday to @millsbaker ? Solution: I'll let these emoji speak for themselves. 🎂🎉🎈

What have you done in the last four years to give my life meaning and soothe the atavistic death terror I feel in quiet moments alone?
Mr. President, I worry that reality is determined by vast and complex processes outside my control and indifferent to my very existence.
Governor Romney, is there such thing as insanity among penguins?
