    My question to is... how will this be monetized? You aren't creating any content here (at least in the way you have positioned it). So, you'll be making a very small slice per sale…

    Portable Standing Laptop Desk?

    I'm not sure if anyone else hates sitting down all the time, but I really want to be able to stand while I'm working on my computer. However, is there anything that they sell to us…

    Hey from NY! I'm also in NYC (well just outside) I have no experience on the technical side of things (aside from basic HTML and CSS and using CMS like Drupal), but have other thin…

    It doesn't matter when you get there (well, unless you're so late that the market is flooded and it's impossible to get your name out there). If you were to be first to launch, the…

    I personally read it as tubular. So no confusions for me, just to throw that out there. I like the name.

    Same question... And are you willing to work remotely or do you want to work with someone in the same location?

    Nope. Fortunately, no explosion. :) I actually just had a late day at work so haven't gotten a chance to come back to this. But in regards to your reply. It really sums everything …

    I appreciate the link. It's good to hear someone say that design is important. I've read similar sentiments here and there, but it's often touted that the code is far more importan…

    Thanks Fate. Good luck to your fiancee, I know it's tough. If she needs any advice on the exams, let me know. You are right. I will just have to get it done. At this point, I'll go…

    I appreciate the reply. Feel free to be blunt. I never claimed to be an expert. However, I don't think I'm nearly as naive as any craigslist poster you suggest. But feel free to la…

    Thanks for the reply! (as well as your other one, which I've responded to in the wrong order, ha) I think my other reply regarding outsourcing vs doing it myself frames what you ha…

    I'm 24. In regards to "where" for outsourcing. That is something I have not looked into in detail, but potentially anywhere as long I received quality code. But anyway, to your oth…

    Thanks for the questions. I will be asking myself those questions and analyzing the answers. A question they bring up in my mind though would be the opportunity cost of creating it…

    Ha. When I think about it... that is exactly what I want. It's just a tough decision. Even if I know I ultimately want to leave and pursue this full time, being that I've never don…

    Hmm... I guess I have to just think about what I meant by "nothing to show for it" to really think as to if I'll be okay leaving my job now and then looking back at what I accompli…

    Hey everyone. So, I've been contemplating this for a while and really need some advice. I'll try to be brief, but I apologize if I drag this on. I work full time at a job I hate. A…

    When you say "learn some coding yourself" exactly how much does this entail? For instance, I know HTML and CSS. I am slowly learning Javascript. I am fairly confident I could learn…

    I second Inkscape. I love it. It's so useful and you can really create a lot with it. It helps to be a bit artistic; however, I think with some practice you could still do it suffi…
