Analysis textbook: for those who want to know the Reals
http://www.mth.pdx.edu/~erdman/PTAC/PTAClicensepage.html
quote from preface:
'One motive for my writing this text is to make available in fairly simple form material that I think of as “calculus done right.” I have tried to write a text which will be helpful to a determined student with an average background. (I seriously doubt that it will be of much use to the chronically lazy or totally unengaged.)'

A summer spent working through this material would not be wasted time.

Free tickets to Xconomy's Battle of the Techbands in Boston
http://www.bandsintown.com/event/604111
Bandsintown is giving away 5 pairs of tickets, so leave a comment here and they are yours.

http://www.bandsintown.com/event/604111

Information from Xconomy about the event:
We set out to put this event together because we had the suspicion that a surprising number of folks in the local tech and life science scene had secret musical alter egos. What's more surprising, at least if the bands who entered the competition are any indication, is that so many of the bands these folks play in are so damn good. That's why we're grateful to the judges who helped us make the tough calls necessary to narrow down the competition: Art Technology Group co-founder Jeet Singh, who goes by the name Miki when he fronts the band Dragonfly, and Patrick Faucher, a Berklee College of Music grad, lifelong musician and technologist, and co-founder of Nimbit. Thanks guys!

All we need now is you. The final winner of the Xconomy Battle of the Tech Bands will be chosen by the audience, using a nifty cell-phone voting system, so be sure to bring your cell phone along. Tickets for the event, (which will go down at the Middle East Restaurant and Nightclub at 472-480 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge) are $20 in advance at www.xconomybands.eventbrite.com--actually only $15 if you buy in blocks of 10--and $25 at the door. That gets you not only admission, but also a little something to eat and drink.

But wait, there's more! Everyone who attends will be eligible to win one of our fantastic door prizes, including two Rock Band bundles from Harmonix Music Systems and three Microsoft Zune music players.

So come and cheer for your favorite band--or maybe find yourself a new one--and help us celebrate the Boston technology community's propensity for rocking out.

[Show HN]: Create GIF selfies with Internet Famous (launch hackathon project)

Hey all, this was a fun little app I built for a hackathon this weekend. It runs a bit slow when not on my local machine but it lets you record silly GIFs of yourself and uploads them to a public gallery you can browse through. Still needs a lot of work but was fun to make!

Hit 'Record GIF' and it will record for 5 seconds (it looks like nothing is happening, be patient!). You can style it and, if you are logged in, save it.

PS - Only works in Chrome right now.
