That just looks excellent. It may have just sold me on one of these.

Re: The Case for A Towing Company API

mitchellhislop — Thu, 19 May 2011 23:54:23 -0000

Well, I feel like a noob. Turns out that this exact app exists on iOS and Android, and I have just been doing it the Luddite way all this time.

I still want the one that you are talking about. A tow seriously hurts my wallet.

This could go even further - what if I am stuck or my car dies? I would love to be able to call a tow a la TaxiMagic/Uber, and not have to deal with it.

AAA needs to get on this. As a member, I would love to be able to press a button to make a request (lockout, roadside assist) and not have to deal with the phone tree, entering my card number in the dark, etc. When you are in a high stress situation (most of the time when you need a tow you are), big buttons and helpful updates are the king, not phone calls.

Re: How I plan to cut the cable cord

mitchellhislop — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 09:29:56 -0000

Arik,
As someone who has cut the cable as well, it is interesting how alike our setups are. Down to the two Apple TV's (granted, I have a new model and an old. )

For sports, I have given up watching them at home. If its on something I have access to (ESPN 360, Local channels), I watch it. However, the secret here is getting out for sports. I catch most Twins games from a cigar shop. It takes some getting used to, but I have not missed cable in the ~year I havent had it.

One thing absent from your list is Hulu. Do you just not watch much on it? I would think that swapping one of the Apple TV's for a Roku (price remains the same), and adding $120/yr for Hulu+ would help cover a few more of your bases.

Congrats on cutting the cord. Its liberating, and fun to use the money that gets freed up. Its only a matter of time...

I am still surprised you are saying Wordpress is losing out, and that it will be Tumblr. Tumblr has recently had a TON of downtime (to the point of spawning parody sites), and it can do WAY less than WP, which has more downloads than Tumblr has users.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with Luke, Ginger, and their whole clan. This is tough news to hear.

Re: Things that Higher Ed needs to change

mitchellhislop — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:02:37 -0000

Editors Note: There was a comment in the queue on this post calling me out. However, the person decided not to use real info. About the only requirement to post comments on my site is to actually use your information. If this person would like to comment again as a real person, I would happily enter into this debate.

Basically, the person told me that I was wrong, that there are a 100 servers with tons of storage, backups, etc. This may very well be true-my source of information is from the professor whose class I was in. Nevertheless, professors lost data, we all lost productivity, and the fact that we have less storage than any storage-based webapp are all still problems. Hard numbers do not matter nearly as much as the overall sentiment, which is that Universitys need to catch up to the times when it comes to tech. No matter what is backing the system up, it is a backbone of life at Hamline, and should be more solid. We have problems every week with this system. If I can rig up a NAS at my house out of free software and spare parts, I should have always-accessable, fast, spacious storage at the university I attend for $40k a year.

Re: Mac mail app review: Mailplane, Sparrow, Notify

mitchellhislop — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 00:40:58 -0000

sparrows interface gets to me a bit. i also paid for notify, and do still love it. however, i dont always have imap access, so its limited for me. i hope sparrow can keep iterating, because its a great idea

Really, guys? This gets me to actually upgrade. $15 dollars a month is ads on my personal blog-i cannot believe the extent to which you are getting up in arms over this.

Go ahead and go to GitHub. Getting a repo you can collab on is $12-is $3 really worth moving? Or are you going to go to their free plan, with all your code out in public?

Beanstalk, way to be. "Haters gonna hate", and you are going to be successful.

While your shaving technique needs work (how do you not cut the hell out of your face???), I am still in awe over the video that thing shoots.

Re: Why Setting Up Facebook Events Is Crucial To Making Money Using Facebook

Its odd that it works on flock and not FF, since Flock is a version of FF. And since it is a JS code, it should work anywhere.

Re: What I do

This will be fun:
(numbers ref my list)
1, 2, 3: My day job.
4: See the 2 posts about this one, about solutions to small problems that I am trying to help others with
5: See all 12 of my CES post
6: See my lifestream tab...

Yes, I Schmooze sometimes. Yet, I still can deliver on what I claim.

You and I are much alike in that sense-Schmoozing and delivering on promises.

Best of luck to you, my friend
