The hovertext of this XKCD literally put a grin on my face http://xkcd.com/1215/ -
Project Longhaul (www.kokes.net)
It starts off in Jan of 2013 where the idea for the ring was refined to what will ultimately be the final form. Several designs were considered and were rejected because of exotic material requirements, machining geometry limitations or violating the laws of physics. It was a fun exercise to explore potential and unique designs, but at the end of the day, I still needed to make her something that I could present and that didn't look like it was carved with a spoon. The final idea was to embed a LED and copper coil assembly inside the titanium ring, illuminating it from under the stones when it was in close proximity to an induced alternating magnetic field (henceforth called 'the transmitter'). Autodesk Inventor helped me develop all of the dimensions and constraints for the design. Having some help, I was able to obtain her ring size and the rest of the measurements were based from there (15.72mm if anyone was wondering).

@willimac should work just fine! As far as I know the API didn't change! /cc @kenichi_pdx @kyledrake

@aaronpk I could never get Mint to behave accurately. No data > bad data, particularly when finance is involved...
@pdxgene Also: partial data is just as good as no data -
Super torn on using Mint.com. One one hand I really like the low-friction UI, automatically downloading all my transactions and categorizing them.
On the other hand, it won't accurately represent things like shared or business accounts, or easily let me mark a purchase as "reimbursable".
When things go wrong in Mint, it's mostly impossible to correct them. For example, Mint thinks I spent a ridiculous amount in April because my mortgage was bought by another mortgage company. It also thinks my real estate assets are 2x what they should be. I can't find any way to correct this in the UI.
Unfortunately, the alternative is to spend Sunday mornings once or twice a month updating Quickbooks and learning a lot about bookkeeping in the mean time.
So, for now, I guess I'm sticking with Mint. -
