mikesmullin3··on To my friends in the Node community
nice comments about node but libuv is written in C and its the asynchronous i/o magic sauce for many many projects now, including Ruby.

mikesmullin3··on Working From Home is Like Saying No to Drugs
1. challenge your friend to come up with a productivity metric. 2. outperform your friend in the productivity metric, while working from home. 3. profit! (be productive AND happy; a novel concept, i know...)

mikesmullin3··on 3D printing and the future of retail
see also that on-demand book printer that prints double-sided , cuts, and binds the book with cover. its on-site automated assembly in general. IKEA's strategy is a bit like this too. its like what if IKEA had a robot that manufactured the furniture at retail location? what if the lego block catalog was available from a kiosk in the toy aisle and you could print individual parts by tapping?
mikesmullin3··on Video.js - HTML5 Video Player
i've been using it for the past 2 months and it has random crashes i can't explain. the error messages are not helpful. i will probably be switching to mediaelement in a few days. i think mediaelement has a broader device support. if you look at the issues tab on html5js you see a lot of problems with ipad and other mobile devices.
