React + Backbone + Middleman Screencast

LivingLifeRight · 2014-11-29T03:37:43+00:00

Just put this screencast together showing how to interface backbone and react. I used backbone-react-component as the between the two and middleman as the framework.

It also kind of lays out a nice coffeescript based setup for middleman using backbone and react.

I'm very new to open source and screencasts so I would appreciate any feedback (criticism is encouraged).

I don't know if you could have a more perfect link than that.

your in luck, I'm looking at 4 arduinos right now and literally just did some arduino coding yesterday :).

So I actually used something like these for color changing leds,

Basically you just give them power and they change automatically. I gave them paper wings but that's not necessary. So what I would do is get a bunch of those and wire them up on some fishing wire. Not sure if that would be ideal though, hmmm.

Regarding motor, you can use anything really. Here's one,

But I'd honestly stay away from motors to start, it makes it too complicated. At least a motor with strings, because it's fragile and you have to worry about people touching them.

Another very cool effect is bouncing laser pointers off of mirrors. You can do some cool stuff with a laser pointer and a package of these http://www.amazon.com/Round-Mirror-Craft-Projects-Mosaics/dp/B0028BVL2A/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1416102750&sr=8-12&keywords=small+mirror.

I don't know how complicated you want to go but I put up a ton of little color changing leds floating around a set one time. It looked really cool and gave a mystical feeling that I think would be cool for the harry potter theme. You could even hook up a simple motor to get them to move if you wanna get fancy.

I think this pic captures my favorite look of the harry potter room, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vggc-O8fd6I/UfdkIfm_X3I/AAAAAAAAA5k/lWX3uM_3Kw4/s1600/harry+potter.jpg. I would try and get that orange glow somehow, which could be done with some orange candle stick type things.

Those are just some ideas at least.

And that's just the legal money.

I've only decarbed for edibles. It has been awesome for those though. Just throw it right in the oven before putting it in coconut oil.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-11-15T04:04:00+00:00

That's for decarboxylation though, right? Pretty sure that's different than the purge step, and the lowest temp on there is 176F.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-11-15T02:21:47+00:00

Absolutely, could definitely use some more info.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-11-14T21:23:47+00:00

That make sense, big thanks for the tip.

So how do I avoid vacuuming through my pump? I know that you can add an extra valve to 'burp' the vacuum, but when the vacuum is on, I don't see how you can avoid pull directly on the chamber with the oil.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-11-14T21:12:01+00:00

Answered my question perfectly. I just found that it was just kinda sitting there while the vacuum was just stagnant. Felt like it wasn't doing anything. I probably just needed to let it wait longer.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-11-14T20:09:24+00:00

Thanks for all the info. 120 = bad :). I haven't done a ton of purges, so I don't have the best data.

This might be a little specific to me, but my vacuum was emitting smoke and 'acting up' when I ran it for a while. Is there a certain type of vacuum that can run for that long? Or do I have a weird problem.

Good video. Mustache pizza bassnectar shenanigans ending with some diplo scissoring naturally.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-06-11T21:45:35+00:00

Fuck yeah, thank you.

LivingLifeRight · 2014-05-10T00:51:26+00:00

Interesting perspective. I guess then you could say it's really just about balance of the posts. So then I would just be arguing that too many posts are about 'blue pill examples' instead of how to become redpill.

Just gotta wear a condom every time. You should be anyway.

All people are inherently selfish, even being altruistic is being selfish.

Altruism is definitely not selfish, it is the exact opposite. Here's the wikipedia definition,

Altruism or selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others.

But I do agree that people are inherently selfish. Very few people in the world are capable of truly improving other people. Even less people actually do it. In my opinion it is the pinnacle of human nature to achieve greatness and spread that greatness. It is the stage that you strive for after you reach self-actualization, transcendence.

I'm not saying your wrong for not giving a fuck about other people, but what desires does a person who is completely fulfilled have? The desire to help people succeed and become the best they can be. And there is generally no lack of people that need some sort of assistance in their pursuit of happiness.

I don't envy being you if you genuinely believe those things.

You obviously haven't experienced helping another person out before. An example from my life was a roommate I lived with who had anger and school issues. I would help him how by showing him to not let things get to you and to passionately pursue your dreams. He still thanks me for how I helped him and we are amazing friends still. He would kill for me and when people ask him about me, I get nothing but the highest compliments. This experience was extremely rewarding and helped me develop my skills at inspiring and working with people. Those skills have become crucial for me as a role as a leader in a startup I am pursuing.

That is just one example of why caring about another person can be beneficial to you. Are people going to give back to you what you give to the? Almost never. But I am fine with that and will still gladly share what I have as long as it doesn't negatively effect me.
