Minor tip when embedding YouTube videos, as with the 'Watch the HUM Trailer' video - add rel=0 to the URL to prevent 'Related videos' from appearing at the end.

I work in Fort Collins as a technical lead; I've never had trouble finding work here. That being said, there are many more opportunities in Boulder, Longmont and Denver. I've turned away lots of opportunities in order to stay in FC; many of my tech friends have moved further south.

Unrelated to this component, but the Monitoring Location step shows a limitation in the Chosen select library; the dropdown is attached inside the parent container.

I ran into the same issue and went with Select2. It's forked from Chosen and solves this positioning problem (and adds remote AJAX loading and other cool features). http://ivaynberg.github.com/select2/

Agreed, "gimmeh teh" is lolcats idiocy instead of a professional tool. I'm embarrassed to have it up on my monitor in a work setting.

This seems like a very similar service to the wildly popular Instapaper. I'm curious what the difference is or how Copyto plans to differentiate themselves.

timbonicus | 15 years ago | on: Killing Email: How and Why I Ditched My Inbox

  I’ve found that I don’t need to check Twitter as often, or spend as long
  processing it. It’s not an always-connected, always-communicating tool
  that some people think it is — you can choose when and what to process,
  and only do it 1-2 times a day if you like, scanning your messages and
  not necessarily replying unless you feel the need to do so. It will be
  another inbox, but not as tyrannical as email.

This sounds remarkably like email to me. I don't understand the difference. I was expecting an article about ditching email-type communication entirely, which I wouldn't dream of doing but would be an interesting experiment.

Tried it out for IE6 and when the window loaded, someone else's site was up and I was unable to do anything while the counter ticked down. A bit concerning from a privacy standpoint. Maybe the machine fell over?

The Trunk Club uses a model in this vein: http://techcrunch.com/2009/06/03/the-trunk-club-for-men-neve...
