The Expert at the Card table is a classic, but pretty advanced for someone just getting started with card handling.
For anyone looking to learn more, I would strongly recommend some of the video tutorials available at http://www.theory11.com/tricks (some are free, many are cheap, and majority can be streamed online)
Specifically look for anything you can find by Jason England. That man is a modern master of card sleights if their ever was one, and over the years he has created some great walkthroughs for techniques from the Faro Shuffle to Palming to Dice Switching.
(Full disclosure, I have done some work for this site, but it's legitimately one of the greatest resources for learning more about this topic that I know of)
"It would be foolish to despise tradition. But with our growing self-consciousness and increasing intelligence we must begin to control tradition and assume a critical attitude toward it, if human relations are ever to change for the better. We must try to recognize what in our accepted tradition is damaging to our fate and dignity—and shape our lives accordingly."
Key takeaway, in my opinion, and this extends beyond racial prejudices.
UI looks nice from the video, and seems like a quality service. We're currently using ShiftPlanning, which is similar, albeit uglier, and has a few more features that would be hard to give up: discussion board for employees, ability to blast announcements to employee groups, syncs with 3rd party calendar systems, etc. Maybe you should check them out for inspiration to grow your offering.
Anand, you have SERIOUSLY outdone yourself on this one. I continue to aspire to attain frontend design chops as good as yours.
I remember watching Iron Man with this guy in his apartment in LA while trying to convince him to move to SF. He took meticulous sketches and notes on the UI used in the film. I look at this, especially the initial circular ui, and see the culmination of those notes with amazing use of frontend technologies and near perfect 3rd party integrations.
We're beta testing the order create api endpoint on our enterprise Shopify plan right now, enabling us to hackily import manual phone/wholesale orders via an internal app we developed. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but Shopify really needs to prioritize a backend order creation tool.
Every e-commerce product across-the-board has this feature, and it's disappointing to see a platform as well-crafted and mature as Shopify still without many of the essentials.
We can now officially create orders via a POS system, but still can't create an order on our own website without registering as a customer or jumping through 3rd party shipping/tax/payment APIs.
I wholeheartedly agree, having bootstrapped myself, but can't stress enough the importance of having the right team members on from the start. When pay is minimal and launch stress is high, one sour grape can easily spoil the bunch.
I guess you could say it's innovative for Facebook to try to continue to push the boundaries of social media and online identities, but I tend to agree with the majority: this is pushing it a little too hard.
Facebook is what you make of it. Just as I choose to almost never view my 'News Feed,' I'll similarly opt out wherever possible from using these new timeline features.
