iamgabeaudick··on Tell HN: Rejected from App Store - "customer damaging their iPhone."
Pivot: measure - and rank - how fast a person can shake their iPhone.
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: sell me a good domain name?
I decided not to renew vyrle.com a few days ago. It may be available on godaddy if you like it.
iamgabeaudick··on Offer HN: OfferHN.com
It's yours. Just emailed you.
iamgabeaudick··on HN Domain Exchange: Add your unused domains
Vyrle.com.

Email me if interested.

iamgabeaudick··on Challenge: Make a game, sell 1 copy by Oct 31st
In.
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: Where do you find survey respondents?
Interesting. How strictly can you filter the respondents using Mechanical Turk? And is it only by demographics, or also by interests and other criteria?
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: Ideas for weekend projects?
Reverse Craigslist - Allow a user to enter an anonymous Craigslist email address (that they had previously replied to) and their city, and then return the post that contained the email.

The reason being: When looking for something on Craigslist, I often send similar emails to several potential sellers. But then, when they reply, I have no way of knowing which posting was theirs (and the link to it). (Of course, you could contain the link to the posting you're referring to in each email, but that's a hassle that I'm sure most forget to do.)

iamgabeaudick··on AwesomenessReminders now has 750 paying subscribers
@AwesomeReminders: You might consider offering AwesomeTextMessageReminders at a reduced rate. Either custom text, given by your customers, or something like: "Hi John. Someone who knows you told me you were awesome. Have an awesome day."
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: What can kill Facebook?
Facebook is Facebook's greatest threat. Consider Myspace: it was largely because they let their product deteriorate that users switched to Facebook.
iamgabeaudick··on How a 16-yo Kid Made His First Million Dollars
Did he code Branchr, too? Or hire others to do it for him?
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: Poll: Help me name my startup.
Maybe booklook.com - it's for sale.
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: Which vitamin supplements do you take?
Lyle McDonald has a comprehensive two-part post on supplements (specifically for athletes, but applicable to all) on his blog, Body Recomposition. Here's part 1: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/supplements-par.... And part 2: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/supplements-par.... Lyle's a good bro.

Martin Berkhan, of Lean Gains, has also written on supplements, though geared more for bodybuilders. Here's the link: http://leangains.blogspot.com/2010/01/supplements-you-might-.... Both "gurus" are legit.

iamgabeaudick··on Ask PG: What's the deal with search on HN?
A crude solution: Google "site:news.ycombinator.com QUERY-STRING".
iamgabeaudick··on Patrick McKenzie (patio11)'s Mixergy Interview
If you like Slideshare, you'll like Note and Point even more. It's Slideshare, but curated to keep just the best. | http://noteandpoint.com/
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: What do you think of this project?
Maybe decrease the number of goals. 101 is a lot - both to accomplish and even just to think about and write down.
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: What is something you would recommend learning in a day?
Learn to surf. Or snowboard. You won't master either, of course. But standings up on your first wave or learning to link turns on the snow is exhilarating, and the first step towards getting better.
iamgabeaudick··on The iPad DJ: @ranajune
Did she program it?
iamgabeaudick··on Get Helvetica Off Our Money
Eww.
iamgabeaudick··on Twitter Acquires Atebits, Maker of Tweetie
Any idea when Tweetie will be made free?
iamgabeaudick··on Twitter Acquires Atebits, Maker of Tweetie
And so it begins.
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: Toolset to write an e-book
So, regardless of what you use to create the ebook, where can/should you publish it once it's done? I know you can post it, say, on your blog to download, but what else would you do. (Submit to Amazon, or iBooks, or more?)
iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: What to do after college? Master's degree?
So has it helped you get a decent job? What do you do for a living?

Also, you mentioned that some upper division undergrad CS courses can transfer to the Master's program for credit. Does this mean if I look into, say, Stanford's program and take as many of the courses as I can as an undergrad, then I'll be able to transfer those over (assuming I go to Stanford for graduate school)?

iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN- Help: I need a technical advisor
@davidl: It'd be great if you could comment back - or maybe write a blog post, or whatever - on what you learned and on how you plan to go forward.

I for one, and I would guess many others, have the non-technical background but know little about programming.

iamgabeaudick··on Ask HN: What personal metrics do you track?
Written anything? As in a note, or an email, or whatever? Or written something thoughtful and content-heavy?

Also, for learning colemak, what exactly do you track? How much time you spent learning each day, maybe?
