Funny you mention this. I've decided just today to begin a full week of no Twitter or YouTube. To keep myself on top of my addictions, rather than fully succumbed to them. Props to…

And that's the thing... This page should always be about sharing and encouraging people who build things they're excited about, regardless of whether it meets some technical high b…

$100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. Really good at stripping away many of the reasons I had been holding onto to not start something on my own. The book is agnostic about how you rai…

That's a great negative viewpoint. Thanks for sharing it. I think you missed the larger point - that we can be doing a better job as evangelists of the industry, and broadening it'…
