Regarding the "plurality errors" (is that really what they're called?) Twitter doesn't have a gender setting in the profile and always say "his or her" sounds awkward. I'm on the side of using third person plural in these cases, but I guess this guy isn't. - Mihai Parparita

I've heard this gets really complicated across languages. - Amit Patel

Engadget says "it's a long time coming" and links to stuff from 2006, but the earliest that I remember seeing stuff like this was the infoScope project from IBM Almaden in 2001 (http://www.springerlink.com/content...). At that point that required a separate PDA, cellphone and camera. - Mihai Parparita

Sharing for the second half the post. Also related: http://xkcd.com/331/ and Ann's and my penchant for remaking about how water (e.g. the Charles when we cross the Longfellow bridge) occasionally "looks unrealistic." - Mihai Parparita

This (stale jokes if you try to reference current events) is what happens when you have to have a strip done five weeks in advance (per http://www.newyorker.com/online...). Is there a technological reason why strips have to be done so far ahead of time? - Mihai Parparita

This claims that "If a user manually opened two pages of your site in two windows, there was no way these windows could figure out each other’s existence" (until HTML 5 storage events). That's not actually true, windows can read each other's cookies and use that to pass information back and forth. See http://persistent.info/tmp... for a simple test case: open it in two tabs and set the cookie value in one, and observe that it appears in the other too. - Mihai Parparita

Dan, your dad knows Robert Sedgewick? Ann and I weren't fans of his teaching style (or book) in the intro algorithms class that we both took (at the same time freshman year, but only found this out years later). - Mihai Parparita

I <3 Eric Ripert's hair and accent. Also, I made this (adding some feta) tonight. - Mihai Parparita

This was quite tasty (yes, I'm going to be one of those recipe sharers now). - Mihai Parparita

I've modified our season pass, have you? - Mihai Parparita
