I'll throw in my endorsement for the Steelcase Leap. I've had mine for three years and I'm very happy with it. Well worth the price.

Do you have a particular chair you recommend? I've been looking for a lounge chair for exactly this purpose. Something comfortable, attractive, well-built, and under $1200.

Definitely. In Twilio, you assign each phone number a URL that handles inbound calls. Create the Twimlet forwarding URL and paste it into Twilio as the "Voice Request URL". Once yo…

Twilio with calls routed to the free call forwarding Twimlet. $1/number/month, plus $0.03/min. The free $30 credit will keep you going for a long time. http://www.twilio.com/ http:…

Microformats are still supported, but they've been replaced by HTML5 microdata. If you're developing a new website, microdata is the way to go. The microdata schemas supported by t…

Shameless self-promotion - CallRail ( http://www.callrail.com ) provides call tracking numbers that are perfect for these tests. Give it a try, and feel free to contact me directly…

I believe you can do this via the eNom reseller API. http://www.enom.com/download/DomainsQuickStartENom.pdf

It's a bit noisier than pure SERP position, but tracking actual weekly traffic from transactional keywords should naturally normalize the value of SERP gains across keywords of dif…

MSN.com will often include direct links to Bing searches relevant to articles or news items. If you rank well for the linked term, then you'll see a traffic spike. For me, the patt…

I hope the following is helpful. If you want rainbows and butterflies, avert your eyes now... I don't see anything about this site that makes me want to type in my personal info, a…

I agree with this. Our daughter is 10 months old now. Originally I had a separate home office, but even that wasn't separate enough for me. I felt compelled to help -- it's tough t…

I love this concept, and I can see my business using it. We have three team members, so I'm surprised you consider us an Enterprise. I'd be more comfortable if you called us a "Bus…

I'm in your target market, though I'm not as serious as many. My thoughts: 1. Figuring out how to register without Facebook was way too tough. I had to find two links that were ind…

I use Quickbooks as well. I entered everything by hand until we started exceeding a couple hundred transactions per month. Now I import transactions from the bank and reconcile aga…

By suggesting several possibilities, you're saying "these times really do work for me, so if you pick one, we're set, you can put it on your calendar". When you say "let me know wh…

While your fear of hidden code is probably well-founded, I don't think it's piracy to redistribute the WooThemes. They have been released under the GPL. ( http://www.woothemes.com/…

1) I clicked a ton of shirts; does it ever end? Where are the suggestions? 2) I clicked "help" and got nothing. Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, all on a Mac. 3) Could you preload the …

Will a backup created in 1.0.28 still be de-duplicated against backups created in previous versions of Tarsnap?

Perhaps those are good ideas, but they don't sound right for you right now. Building a network-effect business that requires buy-in from Paypal and/or national brands? I can't thin…

Don't be wrapped up in creating the next Paypal. A very small business can be a big thing for you and your family. Once you've created a healthy income from full-time self-employme…

Very true. And with the Amazon iPhone app, you don't even have to leave to finish your purchase. Just scan the barcode, purchase, and continue enjoying your coffee.

It'll be tough to avoid supporting the hardware. If it's provided by you and used to run your application, then you're going to get the support calls. You can push the client to ca…

Yeah, it's probably a bit late for that with current customers that have given you an explicit denial.

I've never done it, but I suspect the easiest way to get "permission" (and I use the term loosely) is to add a section to your standard T&Cs, which customers agree to when they sig…

I work at home with my wife and six-month old daughter, and that list describes our Amazon buying habits very accurately.
