Hot water heaters seem archaic. Can't we heat the water at the terminals (faucet/shower) and then not have to store hot water, nor run out?

Nice! I'm excited about this. Long overdue. I hope it works out. One reason I want this is for InfoVis stuff - it would be great to get great datasets to be able to build nice visualizations out of - Shannon Bauman

I just started reading this guy's blog - he has some fun visualizations - sometimes he misses, but sometimes they are really good. - Shannon Bauman
Options vs stock - I'm doing contract work for some startups, and they are asking me if I want stock options, or just stock. I assume I want stock options right? (I don't pay tax up front, so no risk if they end up not being worth anything). Is there something I'm overlooking here?
Yeah, it depends on whether the stock options will be taxed as ordinary income when you exercise them. Ordinary income will be taxed at 30-50%, while long term capital gains will be taxed at 19%. Also, will they give you more if it's options or the same amount? I'd go for the stock if I believe in the company. - Kevin Fox
But bear in mind that most startups fail, so going on you should presume the options are most likely to be worthless. - Stephen Mack
Anyone have a recommendation for a "Grandparent Friendly" cell phone? Specifically: Super simple UI, large / easy to see and press buttons, and ability to turn the volume up very loud. My grandfather is getting his first cell phone, and asked for my recommendation.

@goldman - I've always found the 13 age to "become a man" funny in modern society. I wonder what age it would be if it was decided today.
I wonder if having me next to presidents will affect photos' rankings? :) - http://www.friendlyrank.com/view...
Neat! How'd that happen? - Jenna Bilotta
They were separate Google encounters back in the day. Obama one was freak accident, just ran into him in the hall, and one of my co-workers happened to have a decent camera and took a shot of it. - Shannon Bauman
This is a gourd basket my mom made for me for my last birthday. It's made from a gourd she grew, as well as pine needles, branches, and seeds she collected.
