3D Printing means a kid without a hand can now have one. And when he needs a new one, he can just print it. This made me smile today.

TarenSK: Why Aaron died

TarenSK: Why Aaron died:

tarensk:

Last week, I awoke to find Aaron with me. He was sitting next to my bed, grinning his cheekiest grin, holding my hand.

For a few minutes, I savored a sweet uncertainty: Were the last few weeks all a nightmare, and Aaron was still with me? Or was I awaking inside a dream state, and in the real…

“When we say that love is ineffable, as Beckett knew, what we mean is that, when we love, we don’t know what the hell we are doing. We can’t stop talking through it, trying to figure it out. We think we ought to be talking about everything, doing everything, doing anything — breaking into spontaneous rage, talking about suicide, playing games, complaining about our boots — instead of just loving. We wait and wait and wait. Inevitably, boredom creeps in, terror creeps in. When you give yourself completely to another, as Vladimir and Estragon have done with each other, and you say, “Don’t leave me, you’re my only hope,” every day is a little more and a little less frightening, every day is a little more and a little less suicidal, every day is a little more and a little less. You could, like Vladimir or Estragon, easily be talked into hanging yourself from a tree by the only one who could save you from it. We must escape. We cannot. We can’t go on. We do.”

- Beautiful read on love in Beckett. Complement with literary history’s most timeless meditations on love.

mieandcoffee:

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while, and finally had the time to do it. It has been a discussion mainly lead by men: the few female voices I’ve heard think it’s a stupid discussion, because they don’t feel less fortunate being a woman. Neither do I. I’ll in fact get back to why I feel good…

I was serious when I tweeted the other day to hashtag yourself on LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. as #Female so we can more easily be found.

If true, that’s total bullshit.

Update: Drew Olanoff has the note from IFTTT CEO Linden Tibbets:

In recent weeks, Twitter announced policy changes that will affect how applications and users like yourself can interact with Twitter’s data. As a result of these changes, on September 27th we will be removing all Twitter Triggers, disabling your ability to push tweets to places like email, Evernote and Facebook. All Personal and Shared Recipes using a Twitter Trigger will also be removed. Recipes using Twitter Actions and your ability to post new tweets via IFTTT will continue to work just fine.

In other words, anything syndicating tweets out elsewhere will stop, but recipes for posting new tweets will still work. So it’s half bullshit, but still bullshit.

in but not out is exactly the definition of all bullshit.

changetheratio:

Congratulation to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the successful launch of Mars Curiosity! Huge. You deserve to celebrate. And be celebrated. You’ve made Earth proud.

I also celebrate NASA/JPL for how visible women were as part of this extraordinary event. Several times on the livestream last night people made reference to kids looking at the launch of the Mars Curiosity and seeing possibilities for themselves in STEM - and thanks to a number of prominent women on the team, little girls will see a path to space for themselves too.

There were six members of the JPL team in the control room for the launch. In no particular order, they were:

Pauline Hwang, Deputy Integrated Planning & Execution Team Chief

Erisa Hines, Attitude Control System Engineer

Ann Devereaux, EDL Flight System Engineer

Kelly Clarke, Deputy Realtime Operations Team Chief/GDS Engineer

Leslie Livesay, Director for the Engineering and Science Directorate

Nagin Cox, Assistant Flight System System Engineering Manager

…and present in rehearsal (unsure what role she had at launch; confirming)

Tracey Nielson, Fault Protection System Engineer

NASA commentator/reporter Gay Hill tied it all together as the night wore on.

Also, those delightful @MarsCuriosity tweets are voiced by a trio of ladies, led by NASA’s social media manager Veronica McGregor (who opened the press conference after the launch), with Courtney O’Connor and Stephanie Smith. Still giggling over “GALE CRATER I AM IN YOU!!”

Anyhoo. Not that we’re indifferent to Bobak’s charms - please, we’re totally down - but we wanted to give shout-outs to the incredible ratio-changing people who were part of the MarsCuriosity’s terrific team. We’re sure there are more, but these were who we saw. See, visibility is important. Even from space.
