"Doge speak is clearly composed of subunits which are divided by a period in running text, which I’m going to call doge phrases. The period is optional in images, but in that case the phrases are scattered artistically around the picture. Here are some examples of doge phrases:" - Amit Patel

"“Explorable Explanations” was coined by Bret Victor in a stunning essay that mixed text with interactivity. To his readers, the article wasn't just a passive monologue, but an active dialogue." - Amit Patel

Glowing colors coming from behind distant mountains. Gold and pink wispy clouds in front of fading blue skies. Snow capped volcanoes reflecting orange light. Magical. - Amit Patel

We're going to miss all your lovely photos, Amit. :) - Anne Bouey

Anne, come visit Instagram (amitp487) or flickr (amitp) or 500px (amitp)! :) I'm most active on FriendFeed, but Instagram is probably second. - Amit Patel

Thanks, Amit. :) - Anne Bouey

The company that started it wasn't going to keep it running forever, but they gave it to a trusted individual who's keeping it running even though he's not active there. - Amit Patel

Wearable computing? How about … SOCKS? - Amit Patel

"Li-Fi […] is bidirectional, high speed and fully networked wireless communications, like Wi-Fi, using light." - Amit Patel

You could probably pick it up farther away (if it is visible). But this could be good news for people that are sensitive to RF energy. - Stephan Planken

I'm amazed "Goat Simulator" is one of the most played games on Steam. - Amit Patel

It is the #1 game on the "Most played 2014 releases on Steam (excluding free-to-play)" - Amit Patel

and it's on sale today … I'm tempted to get it. - Amit Patel

Ok, I ended up buying it. :-/ - Amit Patel

Wow! Clear skies in Sunnyvale. - Stephen Mack

Nice share. We got a double rainbow in Sunnyvale and some squall, but not hail! - Louis Gray

Time to go see wildflowers! - Amit Patel

Interesting. I went there yesterday and there was very little. However, I think if I had gone to the north side (hiking longer than I had time for) I might've seen some. GOOD NEWS though is that desertusa's site pointed to some other locations with really amazing fields of flowers! I saw lots of orange (poppies) and yellows in Lancaster, and lots of purples by Soda Lake at Carrizo Plain. Pics soon. - Amit Patel

Parts of Siberia are randomly bursting into flames? - Amit Patel

They're trying to awaken Godzilla! - Big Joe Silenced

TL;DW: put an IR camera inside to see the temperature of the food, and then a screen on the front of the microwave to show the temperature what's inside. You can then see when it turns all white, it's hot (on the outside at least). - Amit Patel

And then also use the screen for other purposes. - Anne Bouey

Advertisements of course! - Amit Patel

Haha! Of course. - Anne Bouey

AIEEEE the robotic overlords are going to be so creepy - Amit Patel

I never expected large parts of Texas to be devoid of "dude". - Amit Patel

Heh, I wonder if "dude" is one of the first reappropriated insults :D I remember watching an episode of "Maverick" where it had the even older connotation that was akin to "metrosexual" - The Etymology of Dude - Slate - 2013 Nov 5 http://www.slate.com/blogs... - Victor Ganata

This is the video that convinced me that I can't trust any of my senses. Gold and white llama? No! That's a blue and black cat. - Amit Patel

"The fact that a single image could polarize the entire Internet into two aggressive camps is, let’s face it, just another Thursday. But for the past half-day, people across social media have been arguing about whether a picture depicts a perfectly nice bodycon dress as blue with black lace fringe or white with gold lace fringe. And neither side will budge. This fight is about more than just social media—it’s about primal biology and the way human eyes and brains have evolved to see color in a sunlit world." - Amit Patel

Why cant we all agree that its a horrible dress and a shitty picture? - CW

This series of photos really illustrates what's going on, though. - Spidra Webster

Sorry still don't like it. Just not my style or color.. what ever color you see it in. :D - CW

For real? Ten billion? What's Kickstarter's share? - Stephen Mack

Oh, that's a period, not a comma. Ten million, not ten billion. Still amazing. Carry on! - Stephen Mack

Ooh these projects seem neat. - Amit Patel

"The first human clinical trial using nanobots to fight cancer will begin in 2015. The technology could later be used to repair spinal chords, improve epilepsy, and diabetes." - Amit Patel

Spinal Chords :) - Greg GuitarBuster

Louis Gray? - Amit Patel

Sleep is unproductive and a waste of time. - Louis Gray

Thank you so much for the Red Blob website! Someone should mirror/archive it, just in case. It's probably one of the best resources about gamedev-related algorithms I have ever seen. - mellow vibes

Thanks lizards! — it's being archived on web.archive.org - Amit Patel

Great! Keep up the good work :) - mellow vibes

Oregon's speed limits signs say "SPEED" not "SPEED LIMIT". One of the posters on this forum says: - Amit Patel

"under Oregon law speed limit signs say just "SPEED" (not "SPEED LIMIT") to indicate that the limit in question is prima facie in nature, not absolute--in other words, you can defend yourself against a speeding citation by showing that your speed, even if it was in excess of that posted, was not unsafe under the conditions. "SPEED LIMIT" signs were rolled out for Interstates and school zones when the speed limits for those became absolute. It now sounds like absolute speed limits are being rolled out to all public roads in Oregon, not just the Interstates and school zones." - Amit Patel

Best time to drink coffee is mid-morning? Skipping breakfast may be ok? - Amit Patel

Both make sense to me. - Stephen Mack
