Apps that haven't been mentioned yet that I use:

   - Hacker News Droid - HN Reader
   - Hooopla - to find out fun activities going on nearby
   - Todo.txt Touch - can be synced and edited on all my computers, and used the cl
   - Opera Mobile

It's a start...

I wonder if RIM will have a fire sale too now...

Putting labels on people or stereotyping is never an effective way to measure their skill or the importance of their accomplishment. It seems that either one of these gives us the ability to quickly make a "informed" decision about someone without having to dive deeply in the matter. This doesn't make it right, and in my experience leads you to make incorrect assumptions more often than not.

Yea, I finally got through it. Took me about 30 minutes though.

Just tried on the site. It lets you add it to the cart, then it seems like it crashes. Did you go through this as well?

patio11 Thank you for your all your advice and insight, it is truly motivational.

Have you always been so cheerful or is it a product of your environment in Ogaki, or maybe even your success?

I wonder how long it took twitter to get to a billion.

Sometimes a good boss can shield you from office politics and bureaucracy, that hamper the productivity of developers. I have a boss who lets me focus on coding and creating things we need, rather than paperwork and politics which I hate. He's also good and blocking "Drive by Requirements" that sometimes come from out of the blue.

I enjoy mine. It's solid and comfortable. I got it on Craigslist for $300. A company was going out of business and had a bunch of them to get ride of. You might get lucky like I did.

At my office we have the Human Scale Freedom's which are also comfortable, but not as adjustable. We've had 2 break (1 arm rest, one handle on the back) recently, but other than that they are great chairs.

As a webOS fan/user/developer I'm happy to hear this. It's a big step forward for the platform. Sadly though what I really need is a new phone. Where is the pre 3, when is that going to be release? A new phone would do much more for me right now than a tablet.

I too am a big WebOS fan. So much so, I'm learning web development so that I can write some apps to help populate its market.

I love to cook. It's relaxing and therapeutic. For me it's a great creative outlet. I don't have a favorite dish, but I like to cook with chicken, because I can make about 100 different things with it. It's also helped my photography. I started taking photos of everything I cook and putting them on my wall as a personal menu. It's cool to look at and helps me progress by improving on old recipes.

DJ Girltalk or anything else I've heard a million times. The more I've listened to something the less I pay attention to the words and the more I let the beat take over...

There isn't an official build yet, but the developers at webos-internals have a build you can use.

Currently working on my masters, while employed full time, and learning other skills on my own..

ESPN3 is great especially now that you can get it through XBOX 360.

I think students aren't offered the opportunity to see what a language like C can do for them. Their are plenty of examples of cool webapps and mobile apps out there for them to see. C isn't sexy anymore. I enjoy C because I like working close to the machine level, without having to do assembly. Not a lot of people want to code up apps for hardware anymore. It's all about webapps and mobile apps right now, and this is what they see.
