They've been through so much together. If I find a marriage half as amazing as this one, I will consider myself to be insanely lucky.
@dougnckown All software benefits from feedback from users! So definitely. But the technical exploration stage also valuable.
@dougmckown Awesome!! Would very much appreciate that :) See here for goal: https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/2014/submissions/idno-a-collective-storytelling-platform-tha...
@dougmckown I'm genuinely very interested to hear about any direct feedback / criticism you have. It all improves the software.
@dougmckown DB backend is also a problem. We will change it. Ease of use & installation is deeply important to us.
Thinking about prom for some reason. Did you go? Was it special? We did something vaguely like it at our school - a big marquee, a DJ, dancing - but I remember treating it as a joke, partially for self preservation reasons (I was a very low self esteemy teenager) and partially because it seemed very silly. I think it felt a bit too John Hughes Lite. If you went to a real one, do you have fond memories?
Alas, I will now never have a Big Ben Burger. On the plus side, new beer place ftw.

Bay Area public transit mapped to travel time. Just needs average rent added to the mix! http://www.stonebrowndesign.com/bay-area-time-scale.html
@moggy Durham, UK: 100% more castles. Durham, NC: 1000% more bacon burgers.
Silicon Valley should have a SXSW Samsung Bloggers Lounge open year-round as a stark, dire warning of what could be. @anildash
@Roi Define "danger". We know they're, eg, actively monitoring political activists.
@Roi Surely the major issue is transparency. Protecting us without our knowledge is not democracy.
Even Fred Phelps becomes fertilizer in the end, helping new things grow. A tragedy that a life should be wasted with hate.

Just realized I look like Inspector Gadget. Time for a haircut. Maybe a super-hipster one this time?
The whole time I've been in the US, I've been using a Google Voice number to communicate.
Here it is: +1 (312) 488-9373.
The reasons are numerous: I can get phone calls on any of my connected devices, even when I'm out of the country. I can change phone service providers at any time. I can make calls in places with wifi but no cellphone reception. I get voicemails as text, so I don't have to listen through an endless series of recorded messages.
Phone numbers themselves are kind of an archaic technology, but it's not feasible to ditch them just yet. So I was disappointed to read that Google Voice is going to be rolled into Hangouts.
That's Google's prerogative. Any silo service provider could make a similar decision at any time. So the question becomes: how can I create my own Google Voice setup on my own infrastructure?
I want four things:
I also don't want to use Skype or another proprietary provider.
I'm really not sure what to look for here. I know about SIP and Asterisk, but setting up and maintaining them sounds like a pain to me. Is there something user-friendly I can use?
I'll be following up in a subsequent post with what I discover.

Per Mindless Self Indulgence, I have decided to see if ice cream will, indeed, fix it.
Here are some independent, non-military projects involving drones. These are projects that aren't selling drones in themselves, but rather are using drones as the backbone of the project. I've listed a single contact person for each one, which is usually the CEO but may also be the lead engineer:
Deliveries & Commerce
QuiQui: Automated Drone Delivery of Pharmacy Items (Joshua Ziering)
Matternet, a kind of drone postal service (Martin Ling)
Flirtey, "the world's first autonomous aerial delivery company" (Francis Vierboom)
Skymail, "shipping things from door to door in 30 minutes or less" (Lukas Wrede)
Space Leap, robotic transportation (Erik Unger)
Personal Drones
Fleye: Your Personal Flying Camera (Laurent Eschenauer)
Lily, "the first personal autonomous camera in history" (Henry Bradlow)
Fotokite, a kind of flying steadicam (Sergei Lupashin)
AirDroids, which carry a GoPro, sold separately (Chance Roth)
Business Drones
Skycatch, programmable private drone surveillance (Christian Sanz)
Ceres Imaging, spectral data to optimize water and nitrogen for agriculture (Roberto Bunge)
Open Source Libraries
NodeCopter, which powers many of the above projects (Felix Geisendörfer)
Have I missed any? Let me know!
