CE means “common era” which refers to the same time period that AD does, which stands for Anno Domini and means “the year of our lord,” which is rooted in the Christian faith. You …

A couple of things to consider. ADHD is more than the lack of focus, it also affects your emotions as well. People with ADHD tend to feel things more deeply and react more strongly…

If by X, you mean religion, sure, I'll agree with that. And, ultimately, you have no right to police what I teach my children.

there is also marketing value. features that may rarely get used but many potential customers won't give your product a second glance if you don't have them.

After much digging, here is what I have found. It surprised me and I learned a lot in the process. Very excited to share. The Divorce Rate is not a measure of the chances of your m…

The 50% number is actually horribly exaggerated. It is closer to 30%. I'll dig up sources later, but basically the divorce rate is calculated by dividing the number of new marriage…

Is it all javascript based? So it would integrate with any codebase? Rails, Python, Java? Very excited about this. Social is such a critical aspect of many systems these days, but …

One of the things we learned a lot about at TSF was a beach-head market. It's the first market you take on to get traction (however you're measuring traction). So, I'd suggest talk…

As a co-founder to one of the companies (ruzuku) that went through the Triangle Startup Factory, I can't recommend the program enough. Chris and Dave are amazing. They have lots of…

Yeah, I'm already starting to feel it and am working on ways to cut back at work -- especially with baby coming.

Thanks for the advice! I'm taking the first two weeks off from work, and my mother-in-law will be here, so I'm hoping that I can really spend more time with my wife and new baby wi…

My wife of 10 years is pregnant with our first child and I have finally screwed up my courage to its sticking place and am making the leap with my own startup. I am continuing to w…

If anyone on a founding team is ever willing to do only one thing, then they're probably not a good founding member period. This goes for hackers, designers, business folks, and li…

I would say that it wasn't Google's design that beat Yahoo, it was the narrow focus on search. There is very little information to design on the Google home page and the expected i…
