    Las Vegas

    Usually I do Cesar's, but took the whole family last time so opted for Paris and was impressed, still centrally located to get around, and rooms were really nice, got a pretty decent view of the bellagio fountains. I've never stayed a nyny but haven't heard anything good most people I know...

    Backbone, Bootstrap, Handlebars, Backlift

    The visual guide is cool, I just started looking at MongoDB and node.js last week as it came up while I was messing around with Backlift for fun at home. At work we are strictly SQL Server and Oracle when required using tomcat servers. [qutoe] Not to come down harsh on you, but the...

    E-reader or tablet

    I still love paper but I use my Kindle Fire for alot of reading, especially technical books, don't want to carry around a 1200 pg java book. It is also nice and convenient for traveling. I went with the tablet because I read about 50% books and 50% comics and it is great for comic books and...

    Backbone, Bootstrap, Handlebars, Backlift

    Sorry if this belongs in the JS thread, but I wanted to see if anyone else was using these tools in their development and what their thoughts were on them. We have been using Backbone/Bootstrap/Handlebars for a few projects at my work and are going to be starting a 3rd soon. My current scrum...

    This is awesome news, pitch black is one of my favorite movies and I also enjoyed Chronicles. The video game was great too. I am really looking forward to some more Space Conan.

    [manga] Everything Else

    Ok Just finished The Breaker, was awesome enough that it only took me 3 days to go through the whole thing. Great suggestion. Now where do I find New Wave? it doesn't look like Batoto has any chapters? I really want to see where the story goes from here.

    Rock climbing: Bouldering,Sport,Trad, Free solo, Deep water

    when you say you are a 13 is that your street shoe or you climbing shoe size? I wear a 14 street shoe but I climb in 12s. Decent entry level shoe that comes in sizes up to 14 is the La Sportiva Tarantulace, I started with those, a little inconsistent between pairs on the stickyness of the...

    Ready Player One

    Agree dialogue was pretty bad, but it was a fun book, interested to see what the sequal is about, it seemed pretty stand alone with a good wrap up at the end.

    How many books can you read at a time and the ereader/tablet curse

    Not counting comic books/ manga I read one book at a time, my issue is which of tue 3000 or so books on my kindle to read next. I have found I switch to new books without finishing the one I am on more now that I have so many options.

    If you could make any one law legal.

    I would think, based on having alot of health care friends who deal with these people, that the women that you would like to stop from having unplanned pregnancies don't pay taxes anyway so they could care less either way. The small payment for implant might sway a few of them.

    If you could make any one law legal.

    Illegal to discuss religion in a public place, feel free to believe whatever you want and talk about it all you want in your house or place of worship, but don't bombard everyone else with whatever bullshit you choose to buy. This would hopefully remove the whole "we should make this law...

    Films off the beaten path

    I will strongly agree with Bronson, great movie. Just watched Super with Rainn Wilson. Strange but fun, wouldn't say you have to watch it but worth checking out, much better than KickAss. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super...American_film)

    World War Z

    Movie looks good, wish they would have left the name alone so someone could make an actual adaptation some day, the short separated storys would have made a great unique movie.

    I have a stylus for my android tablet for impromptu sketching but it is hard to get the same results as you would from a drawing tablet, the stylus that works for iPad ect. Have a large soft rubbery nub that doesn't give as much precision or pressure sensitivity. That being said I have seen...

    I don't know the difference between the Keurig models, is the Vue newer? So far my experience with Keurig is that it is super convenient but the output is really watered down and not very good.

    Fall 2012 Anime Thread

    Just finished SAO, was actually pretty happy with the whole thing, there was alot of the soap opera crap in there that was kind of filler, but at least they wrapped up the ending, got a pretty dark in the 24th episode. Gonna give Twelve Kingdom a shot next and grab the 2 berserk movies, sounds...

    Looking at moving up to an intuos and was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between the 4 and the 5, other than price. This being my first intuos I'm sure the 4 would work for me unless there is a really compelling reason to go 5. Also use will be for illustration and digital...
