Re: What's Next At Beloved — Yoga Pants, Backpacks and Underwear

Derek Steen — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 12:23:11 -0000

What material will the yoga pants be made from? I find a lot of brands use too much nylon/polyester and they don't breathe well. Cotton blend?

Re: Dropbox wasn’t hacked

Oy. It pains me to know this. People need to use a password manager and use a unique password for each site. A Dropbox password should especially not be used for anything else.

I setup two-factor authentication last night and each SMS came through within two seconds.

Dropbox also provides a backup (last resort) two-factor password that you can save/remember if the SMS message never comes through.

Re: Bad Mom Day

There are three-hundred-and-sixty-five-freaking-days in a year. If you're well and dandy for the majority of them, then you're doing fantastic. Get well, Cait. It won't be long before Cash can start cleaning the dishes. ;)

Will Lisa, Maggie, and Marge get their own box sets at a later date?

I know this is hindsight at this point, but taking an exam or anything else while your Mom is dying seems completely illogical to me. Yes, missing an exam or two (which he didn't even do because he couldn't take them this early) could result in more work later. However, it's your Mom. I'd cancel everything for the foreseeable future for my Mom/family. I did so for my Grandpa last year. I'll see you all tonight. <3

Re: Amy Schmittauer - Prepared. But it’s not even cold out. #WTFwinter

Gah. I know. I got my big winter jacket out a week ago and now it's 9ºC. I need some snow, gosh darn it.

Re: Android and iOS: Application Keeps Track of Warranties

I searched the App Store and found Warrantify: http://itunes.apple.com/us/...

It looks pretty good, and has Dropbox and Evernote integration. It's free. :)

I was just looking at backpacks the other day. All of the ones listed here are ones I was looking at. Heh. I'm probably going to go with the Crumpler because it's rather compact and durable.

Do you have any electro songs to share yet?

Re: Living with Cancer: Am I out of options?

Derek Steen — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:07:43 -0000

This is a very interesting topic, Jeffrey! I doubt many people that have little or no experience with cancer would really think about someone in your situation; "Oh, I'll donate to [such and such cancer foundation] and feel good about myself."

I'm surprised that (with the magic of the Internet) you haven't been able to find anyone in a similar situation, and what they do to survive financially. Surely, with some sharing of this video, someone will step forward.

While watching the video, I was thinking of ideas for what could be done:
• Founding a charity which directly supports people in your situation. (I wonder how many people would be in your situation, and how thinly the funds would need to be spread.)
• It sounds like you have very little spare time, but perhaps assisting a company, restaurant, or college with their social media strategy and whatnot. I figure you're fairly savvy in that area, and every business in the world is trying to figure out how to Twitter right now; it's still a growing industry.
• Shooting photographs for a local publication or just selling prints of your own artistic shots. (After all, you do have a fancy camera in your avatars.)

Wowzers! I just found this site. There certainly is a Tumblr for everything. ^.^

I've been wondering who the blonde girl is in this ad. She was originally in the "Type With Your Voice" ("Philadelphia, PA") Samsung Galaxy ad: http://youtu.be/a4STej_rWlo — She looks so familiar, but I just can't figure it out.

That's awesome. I'd love to have some scrapes and bruises. I never have gnarly stuff like that anymore.

The size of the TV is probably the same as sitting in front of the 27" iMac because you'd be closer to the iMac. In other words, you'd see more detail on the iMac (2560x1440 pixels) than on the 50" TV (1920x1080 pixels).

What about uploading to other sites/services? I doubt others would require compression before upload; I think it's something that the networks restrict Apple with (to start) so that they're not clogged with 1080p videos floating about the air. Who knows though...

Re: Live from Amazon's tablet event in NYC!

Is there a video of the full keynote available online anywhere?

Derek Steen — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:04:06 -0000

Lame. You'd probably get sick of it after a day. It might be fun for parties, but all in all it would be fairly annoying; can't shove that in your bra in a pinch.

Nice tip, Mitch!

I love how you compare ISO 1600 to a hangover. What would you consider ISO 12800+ in some of the latest cameras? "Like being on speed"? :P

This would be a handy feature for us to have at Viddler. :) I'm looking forward to seeing it in the wild.

Re: Someone come over and bake cookies and a cake with me!

Cake = cake; Brownies = cookies. Done. :)

What an awesome bag of gear! I sure would put that Canon X Mark I Mouse Lite to some giddy use.
