@holman It's from a 1970 paper by a Japanese roboticist http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/an-uncanny-mind-masahiro-mori-on-the-uncanny-valley http://web.archive.org/web/20110313073609/http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20110310jk.html

@holman but the concept of the uncanny valley is way older than that

@holman While I agree with your points, that's not really the meaning of "uncanny valley." And what's with the Pixar story??

@ungoldman y!

@maxticket Maybe an indicator that a new version is available or that a new feature was launched rather than actually interrupting the app

@maxticket I think the problem is that I often don't open an app until I need it, so anything that gets in the way of me doing the thing is annoying.

@tommorris Wow, sorry to hear about all your frustration! I've been using the Eye-Fi Pro for years, but only as a way to automatically upload JPGs to Flickr. I use a normal SD card for RAW shooting.

@carolinamcdr Sorry, looks like it stalled out. I just kicked it so it should be going again!

@pdxgene @Cheryl_Crowe @aleeharrison Thanks! I started compiling a list of them: https://foursquare.com/aaronpk/list/bars-to-work-from-in-kerns

@Wraithan Problem is I actually like these ones which is saying a lot because I normally hate dentists.

@notenoughneon @kylewm I think because not many people are building readers right now. There isn't a lot of need for PuSH until you're consuming feeds! Superfeedr has a pretty simple walkthrough of setting it up: http://pubsubhubbub.superfeedr.com/

Well this should be fun!

@kylewm @notenoughneon I *think* PuSH isn't actually as bad as it seems. PuSH 0.4 anyway. But I haven't actually implemented it yet myself so take my words with a grain of salt. I plan to catch up with your reader development soon though! Just a few more things ahead of it on my priority queue right now.

@raretrack.withknown.com Well at the very least, using Twitter as a temporary bridge has allowed us to make progress elsewhere quickly, rather than trying to build a complete replacement all at once. #indieweb

@kylewm It was! It really needed the apricot to round it out.

@AdamHerstein Can you check again? I think I fixed it but it's kind of hard to tell.

@dissolve333 At least for now, Twitter makes a great hashtag aggregator. We need to get PuSH publishers and consumers deployed across more sites to replace it! #indieweb

@ben.thatmustbe.me I think those are actually pingbacks from the spam blogs. #indieweb

@tomcoates You mean like this? http://aaron.pk/n4Y01 It's been super useful for me!

@pdxgene @yuetsu @adamd That's why I'm spending the last of my Delta miles and switching to Alaska this year! Same flights different miles!
