> I guess he is out of salt :'( Ouch, this one hurts. I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer last year and had a very similar experience - he loved jumping on the tractor and cutting t…

When I moved to my current job a year ago, I shut down my business and closed a checking, savings, business checking, and credit card account with Bank of America. I had a Simple i…

I can't recommend Codewars highly enough as a way to sharpen your skills. It's like a slightly more verbose, prettier Project Euler. They currently support CoffeeScript, Javascript…

I've downloaded the client, added an app (Django, Rails, and Node). When I tried to view the page, it 404'd and then promptly walked me through SSHing in and starting the server pr…

I actually just committed my first Open Source contribution patch to the next Wordpress release yesterday afternoon - http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25086 After asking lots …

After years and years of benefitting from open source projects, I would love a chance to give back. I currently work as a Front End Developer / Designer for one of the Big SV Compa…

I'm a Googler and would be glad to show you around one afternoon. Shoot me an e-mail (address is in my profile) and tell me a little more about yourself and we can work out the det…

I had an Uber driver in SF last night tell me that he pulls $3,000 a week (before payment to Uber, etc). Pretty impressive.

Kirby came to my attention about 6 months ago, and I'm just getting around to playing with it. I'm highly impressed with how easily it can be extended and customized. By the time I…

I have said this before, but I don't understand why any developer would move a site to a live and public server without having received full payment. Yes, take a deposit. Then deve…

Re: interest, this isn't technically correct, though the rate is 0.01%. See: https://simple.com/faq/#interest and https://simple.com/policies/rates/

Yep, same here. I'm currently sitting in a University library in Germany, working on some projects for my clients. I have an apartment in Texas, but haven't hardly seen it in three…

It's also worth mentioning that the customer service really is phenomenal, and I'm hoping that they scale this up at the same rate as the rest of the business. Part of the magic in…

FreeAgent is fantastic. I have been using it as my sole accounting software for 3 years. If you need to track time and send out invoices (for a multitude of clients), and do genera…

I've been freelancing full-time with Wildfire since they were around 40 people and had just closed their Series A. They've got a fantastic product (I still like it after working wi…

I have definitely had my share of clients that have been slow to pay, and am very thankful for having had the majority of my clients pay well and on time. However, I have had the o…

I'm trying to find a better source, but this Boston Herald article claims they've put in a little over $1 billion. http://bostonherald.com/news/national/general/view/20120522p...

As far as resources for learning languages, I have been using Duolingo ( http://www.duolingo.com/ ) to learn German over the past few months, and can't praise it highly enough. The…

Wow, I am 100% in agreement. I'm an American living in Mexico and find it much harder to be in confrontational situations in Spanish. My Spanish is good, but I've had almost the ex…

Hulu has had a series going for a few months that follows an influential person around for 24 hours. This week they profiled Tim Ferris, and I found the whole thing extremely inter…
