Wow, the metro dogs are particularly interesting. I can see myself "adopting" one that shared my commute. ...they definitely do clean the city. They keep the population of rats dow…

Sorry, can't edit it.

For those that don't know, "domain hacking" is using a TLD to spell out your domain like del.icio.us or blo.gs. I'm considering using one for my next startup and would like to get …

The legal jargon is the first grievance, which I obviously have to just accept as part of the game, but the ambiguity of it is what I have difficulty accepting. Does this clause pr…

Funny seeing this. I'm currently reviewing a NDA & contract for a consulting gig and came across this gem: Recipient agrees that any violation or threatened violation of this Agree…

Some old Piers Anthony/David Eddings books from my 14yr old son, which was possibly one of the most personal gifts anyone has ever given me. My daughter got me a laminated Spanish …

I imagine having YC behind you makes a significant difference.

Yeah the stock photo is probably a bit too market-y, will work on replacing with solid content. This is a good candidate for a/b testing.

If you are young and just starting, try to find a position with a web dev company who uses the technologies you want to learn. Pick an agile company who doesn't need a load of sign…

Why not use the money for music education now and be actively involved (or not) instead of in x number of years (40?) from now?

I think this is pretty significant advice. My daughter broke her foot one day before getting on a plane to Barcelona, where we planned on doing a lot of swimming, I had a waterproo…

Editplus. Syntax highlighting, Search/Replace with regex on multiple files, Project management, right click integration, and more.

Blogger, WordPress.com, Posterous, Tumblr, Weebly, TypePad, etc... are all good choices, each with their own pluses and minuses. If you get to the point where you want more flexibi…

No doubt. I've heard the 1% rule, which mirrors my own experience, but I've never heard the "5% rule of thumb". Also, what defines a "really sweet offer"?

What does everyone think? That this post is a mistake?

Checking it out now. One thing. When I click on the ? next to the "targeting score link" it just takes me to the top of the page. The tool tip is "How is this calculated?", but I'm…

A ~3 ton statue of you.

I've seen it before and wasn't very impressed. Think more like Iron Man.

Personal crash safety suit for motorcyclists/extreme sports which could absolutely protect against all damage. I have ideas, which could be applied to other applications, anyone ha…

It's the same in Europe. My wife is Spanish and when I learned that you could transfer money to anyone's bank account easily and free, my brain exploded. It's amazing that the U.S.…

It was thin, but the one gem that you don't hear very often is to approach being an employee as a way to learn how to successfully run a business, rather than a way to get a payche…

This looks very cool. Can your system deploy to Azure or other clouds? Currently, the system deploys only to Flooha servers. The "free" accounts are deployed to an Amazon EC2 insta…
