I drive a 2009 Subaru Impreza Outback. We bought it used recently right before our first kid was born. It's a solid car with plenty of power but nothing all that fancy. The reasons…

I'm not really talking about just handing out the code... although I suppose it could just be open sourced. That being said, I'm not opposed to the company being taken in a differe…

Of course, I realize that by telling people to contact me on about.me there is very little chance that a discussion will happen on Hacker News and this post will probably end up bu…

I have two side projects that I believe are both viable businesses, but I just don't have the capacity to run them both and continue building the enterprise software company that I…

The intent of the post is to start a conversation and to have people take another look at YUI. After using jQuery for years in both small and large projects, I took another look at…

A student from Georgia Tech did a fantastic job with one of these last month as well. He called it CodeBook: http://danielchasehooper.github.com/CodeBook/ You guys might want to th…

Hi everyone, I wouldn't generally post something for sale on HN, but I have a collection of startup / tech / web related books that I've read over the last two years and I figure p…

Yeah, I started filing it this morning before writing this post. Trying to cover all of my bases. :)

Agreed about Lawyers. I am happy to spend money on them as necessary for the right things, but this seems like something that could be very lengthly if not approached the right way…

Yeah, I like this route a fair bit. I'd like to think that I'm not the only one who gets frustrated by people who would do this type of thing. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. :) M…

Yeah, just contacting him and asking him what's up was my first reaction. I want to make sure that's not a bad idea or that I don't say something that could complicate things in th…

We have a company that is registered with the same name, and I'm filing for a trademark right now.

My friend and I started a simple company in the beginning of January just to start specking out the idea. We just bought the .com of our domain when we got started, and are now kic…

According to the lawyer that I spoke with, I think I'm ok from a legal stance because you're not actually buying a chance to win 10k. You're buying a product (advertising on TweetF…

I just wrote a plugin (Gem) for Ruby On Rails that makes system level A/B Split Testing really easy and uses Google Analytics as the dashboard. I'm coming at it from the software s…

Thanks for the suggestion and support. :) A friend of mine actually bought some pixels off of the MDHP back in the day. Apparently the guy who started it even sold all of the custo…
