KMBredt | 12 years ago | on: Ask PG/HN: Recommended reading on the history of technology
Kelly has also written a book about it: "What Technology Wants" [1] and blogs at http://kk.org/ where the 'Technium' section was the basis for the aforementioned book.
KMBredt | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: I mapped 30k+ paintings around the world
I'm no fan of the idea.
The parsed source is outdated and probably will be forever because it's crowd-sourced and can't keep up with changing exhibitions and lendings of paintings, which is a common thing.
The use case where I check my phone to find a painting or an artist near me also seems far fetched. A better scenario would be to have a map with museums near me and up-to-date information what they currently exhibit. You would need better sources for that.
On the technical side it's quite slow at the moment but the blown up thumbnails (where the Athenaeum also had thumbnails for fair use reasons but in a better quality) were not nice. I would keep them in their original ratio.
I assume that this was probably more an excercise to test-drive some new tech.

There are passwords with uppercase letters and the puzzle distincts between those. e.g.: password is wrong but Password is correct.

It starts after 2 seconds or so.

Interestingly, it uses WASD for rowing, but the arrow keys (or the mouse) for diving.
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: My seven minute workout timer evening project
After the 1st excercise it starts at 7 seconds rest and then 26 seconds for the next excercises (Chrome/Win).
I also wonder why the images or better the whole site isn't responsive? I would also add a link to one of the sources.
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Jakob Nielsen's site has been redesigned
9 years ago some designers/developers even tried a nice update on it: http://www.designbyfire.com/?p=4
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: The top free PSDs on dribbble in one place
I suggest displaying 24 items per page, so there is no blank spot at the end when it displays 3 items per row. 24 obv works great with 2, 3, and 4.
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: my useless weekend project, add speech bubbles to images
One suggestion: A quick check, if Cancel is really what the user wanted or, if the site gets reloaded or the user leaves it by accidentally hitting a bookmark display a notification, that he/she might want to save first.
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: WhenEpisode.com (Simple weekend project)
A categorization in "running", "on hiatus" (e.g.: Community) or "finished" (e.g.: House) would be nice.
Also: a calendar and feature to semi-personalize it, by simply using cookies to store series "to watch". Merge both for a semi-personalized calendar.
Speaking of "Episodes", this series is missing ;-)

Hint: Click the font-name above the pictures to get to the source.
They should make that easier to discover.
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Best books you read in 2012
I just finished the book three days ago, really liked it, and thought, that there must be a site to collect programmers checklists for different tasks to have a similar collection as the aviation experts. Turns out, there is not...

Feather even exists today: http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta and works as far as I can tell. You can opt into it using the link.
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Web site launch toolkit
You should add something like LoadImpact.com to the list ;-)
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Y Combinator's First Batch: Where Are They Now?
Would it hurt TNW to link to the mentioned projects?

I like it that according to https://my.ucf.edu/ their motto is "Stands for Opportunity".
KMBredt | 13 years ago | on: Letters of Note: I think I no how to make people or animals alive
It also looks like a standard answer with some non-standard text in between (we are swarmed, nice idea, here have a picture).
But I really like his letter. He is ready to bootstrap his idea of cutting open a really large human and putting him in a fiberglass box. He should sue Gunther von Hagens and his Body Worlds.
