It does look amazing, and maybe its just my PC but on Windows 7, the bullet text below is almost impossible to read. Could also be my display. It looks fine on my Nexus 4, and is ok on Ubuntu.
Maybe my font aliasing is just messed up. Thin fonts have never really looked great on windows for me.
I haven't taken much time to really read over the Go documentation or work through their walk-through the entire way but this is just a simple and elegant description of go routines and channels that just clicks for me.
I know a few of these have been posted to HN before, have any of them ever taken off? We've tried to do this at our school in one of my clubs but they usually die rather quickly.
Is there any way to get the The Motivation Hacker on some other digital device? I looked in the Google Play store but wasn't able to find it and I don't own a Kindle.
The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Its a super short read, and while it references God a few times don't let that stop you from reading it. There is so much more to this book and its a great little read.
Since there is zero description of what this actually is on that page, I had to go to the google store to find info on the plugin.

I've used stackoverflow count less time to find answers to my problems and just this last year I started to read through newly unanswered questions almost daily as part of my morning routine. I find it interesting and challenging. A lot of the times I don't know the answer off the top of my head so I go and do some research and solve it. Stackoverflow has become my daily programming challenged. Just from answering questions I've learned a lot and some of my answers have lead to bug fixes.
Bug report: On your front page, when opening the drop-down. If you enter a twitter username as it suggests, ie: @username. You are redirected to http://knowitapp.com/@username which gives a 404.

My exact thoughts. There has been more than one occasion that I have found good resources on about.com. However, I don't think I can say the same for answers.com. Half the time I run across a page on it, there is no answer just the question. I got so tired of it I blocked it from all my Google search results. It's also filled with so many ads you can hardly find any information on it.
