ostyn··on The Not-So-Surprising Survival of Foursquare
I had never thought that would be the data Foursquare would profit from. Enhanced location data... Interesting read.
ostyn··on os.js: JavaScript Cloud/Web Desktop Platform
Compare this(and the response to it) to the overall perception of JavaScript 5 years ago. It's interesting to see how decent tooling and some good language changes can move the perspective from largely disparaged to greatly desired.

10 points to Hufflepuff for this useful extension. My life is much improved.
ostyn··on JetBrains redesigned their website and logos
Hmmm... I would like it if Adobe hadn't already taken that "periodic element" icon style. But even then, the older icons were far more clear.
ostyn··on BlackBerry confirms 'Priv' Android phone will launch this year
Three words: Dell Venue Pro ...which was a fantastic phone. I love this form factor. Will this spark a physical keyboard resurgence or is this dead on arrival?
ostyn··on Brooklyn Bar Menu Generator
We want details! How does their algorithm work? What database does it pull from? Can it be altered to generate rom-com titles and casts?
ostyn··on Why is finance so complex? (2011)
Definitely read "fiance". Maybe I'm just projecting.
ostyn··on Show HN: Useful Capslock Autohotkey

ostyn··on $149 Chromebooks
It doesn't just have to be hardware level hacking. c9 is great but, anywhere that you want a decent amount of control over web server(apache, tomcat) configs, graphics acceleration for games, or storage of large local files, you're going to need something more. I'd take Ubuntu any day. Given the choice, what are some reasons to actually choose Chrome OS over Ubuntu?
ostyn··on $149 Chromebooks
Just not the greatest for programmers... But cool for everyone else!
ostyn··on Super Mario 64 HD
Anyone start a github repo yet?
ostyn··on Another Game Boy emulator for your terminal
