There are a lot of activities on the CS Unplugged website: https://www.csunplugged.org/en/

I also like the self-paced courses on Code.org: https://code.org/student/elementary

My kindergartner has access to Tynker through school. Maybe your school district has a license to something similar?

Good luck!

I'm looking for a entry-level/junior developer role but I'm open to QA/support engineer roles too. Thank you!

After graduating from a nanodegree program, Udacity now reimburses students half the cost. I'm in the full-stack program and this definitely motivated me to sign-up and motivates me to finish it, too.

Ideally, you would use this knowledge to start a business

You may find people in a similar situation at http://devpressed.com/ Good luck and never give up!

Related to this is 'El Paquete' - a weekly offline delivery of the internet. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33816655 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Paquete_Semanal

Realizing that the benefits outweigh the costs (health and financial). In my case, the benefits would be avoiding the annoyances of glasses/contacts (cleaning them, reshaping the frames when they get bent, moisture, buying new ones) but given that the surgery might not result perfect vision or even cause new problems (halos, night vision, having to redo the surgery after ~10 years) it's not worth it. Plus, I'm less vain and more frugal now.

I've been wearing glasses since I was 8, got contacts when I was 13 and have been thinking about getting LASIK since it first became popular ~10 years ago. I have gone from wanting it really badly to now not wanting it all.

In high school and college, I wore contacts all the time because it improved my confidence. As I got older, I found myself wearing glasses all the time and contacts at the gym/social events, etc. As a side note, wearing contacts stabilizes your vision - your Rx will not change as quickly because of the short focal distance. This is a nice benefit because we spend so much time looking at screens nowadays.

Great, thank you!

I didn't read the article (too long and it's late) but something caught my eye.

If you keep scrolling down, you hit the next article and the URL changes. How did they do that? Kudos

I was taught to wash rice 3 times and to soak before cooking, especially for longer-grain rice as it softens the rice.

Check out this class https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-har.... It might be below your skill level, but if it's not go through it. It's very interactive and you'll enjoy learning the course material.

This is really well done! Cheers and thank you

This looks great. Congratulations on finishing the book and good luck!

> Then two buses show up at the same time. This has happened to me several times.

This is called bus bunching, here's an explanation. http://www.wbez.org/series/curious-city/why-buses-arrive-bun...

Memory Clean for memory optimization

Alfred for searching things on your Mac (better than Spotlight)

BetterSnapTool for window management (cheaper than Divvy)

GitHub for Mac and Atom are excellent as others have mentioned

I've been very impressed by Inbox, especially the UI. It feels the way Gmail did when it first came out ~10 years ago.

Continue college so that you can learn and build up your business and technical skills. You will be able to create a better startup with a better set of skills, experiences and personal network - develop these while you're in college!

It's impressive that you've built a business in the first place. Try not to second guess your decision as you will probably go on to do bigger and better things :)

This was really fun, great job! I haven't played SkiFree in years, this brought me back to my childhood :)

Look up Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra - it's a great, multilayered story. I'm hoping it will be made into a movie someday!

Looks great! I'm going to try this out

I found about OhLife 6 months ago and loved using it. I just signed up for http://www.idonethis.com so that I continue to journal and track my progress.

Take a look at this Coursera course, Developing Innovative Ideas for New Companies: The First Step in Entrepreneurship https://class.coursera.org/innovativeideas-015

I use http://angryhosting.com and it's great. $12/year for the most basic plan. Don't expect much in the way of support, though

This American Life has an interesting story on ASMR: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/491/t...

You could teach students HTML/CSS and whatever else you know in technology. You may want to find high school students at first and see how it goes. Or find another audience if you don't want to work with kids. If it takes off, then come up with an e-book or video course. Good luck!

This is really well done. Nice work!
