I clicked a few just to see the animation. If a lot of people did that there is your 6%.

One cool thing Pandora might be able to do is analyze their stream data and predict where bands will have enough fans to make money on a live show. I could imagine TicketFly offeri…

I can't think of any reason this really needs to exist - but it's damn cool anyway.

When I said I wanted to be in the 1% I wasn't talking about commuting times. 90 minutes in, 2 hours coming home most days. Only saving grace is that I'm not driving for most of it.…

So the CMS is hosted in your cloud, and the website itself is hosted where ever we want? Am I understand this correctly? Not sure I understand the advantage of this approach. It's …

Trading Google for Yahoo is just trading one company trying to track you around the web for another company doing the exact same thing.

If you aren't deeply passionate about the subject you will get bored quickly writing about the same general subject every day. So blog about whatever you are passionate about. It's…

The cook at the frat house went home after putting lunch out on Friday, and didn't come back until Monday morning. However we had a rule that the kitchen had to be stocked with bre…

Purdue graduate here, and I think that's a fair assessment. The rich kids seemed to be Management majors. They just needed a degree so that they could take over Daddy's company whe…

Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Finding email addresses is not hard. It's pretty easy to guess the corporate email address of anybody working for a US based company. …

I just have a dorky personal blog, but the comments moved from the blog to Facebook on their own. I didn't do anything different, but my friends sort of decided they preferred to d…

I had three phone interviews with AWS, then they flew me to Seattle for 7 more interviews in one day. I didn't get an offer. There is a large randomness factor in interviews. You c…

It starts way before you are running over budget. Your entire sales and contracting process needs to reinforce the idea that there are no fixed cost estimates prior to the completi…

Neocities did something similar a couple of years ago - with more of a Geocities focus (obviously!) My Neocities page - https://chrisod.neocities.org/

My AM/FM Heathkit radio worked the first time I powered it up. One of my proudest moments in junior high.

And I paid about $2000 in 2003 for a 53" rear projection High def TV. It's still going strong though.

Count me among the apparent minority that still wants to own my music. I only own about 400 albums and way too many of those get ignored for months, if not a year+, at a time. Stre…

RS kind of was the original maker space. They could take that market back.

A well played 1-0 baseball game that takes 2 hours to complete is an absolute joy to watch. A 1-0 game that lasts 3:30, not so much. It's not the score or HRs or or the hits, it is…

I was in the Social media office of the White House a couple of months ago. It's in the Old Executive Building, not the West Wing. The office was decorated like you would expect a …

I think the lesson here is not that the cloud is bad, it's that a sync service is not a backup. I use Dropbox to share, I use Amazon S3 to backup.

I thought it died years ago - had no idea that it was still a live service.

As one of the few full-time sales people that hang out on HN... Business to business sales (which is the usual code for high volume cold calling jobs) is a slog. It takes a certain…

I remember when Excite reviewed my website back in 1997. I thought I had won the Internet :) IIRC, they gave me 2.5 whatever their icon was called, excites?

I uninstalled the facebook app from my phone last week. It works just fine in the phone's browser.
