This looks like a great font. I love Inconsolata—I've used it for more than a few months now, and it's extremely good. I've tried Monaco, Monaco Lives, Menlo (I think?) etc. and ke…

Congratulations! Not only are those excellent numbers but the fact that you were able to do more of what you wanted to is wonderful. Quitting a job isn't for everyone — no matter w…

I would definitely try it out if something can match Google's spam filters and search. From a first look, I like the UI however, in my opinion, there's way too much white and it's …

I would create a (maybe more than one, if I have that kind of time) wordpress plugin/theme (or any other app that has some value) if I have those skills and sell the entire plugin …

I've used Assistly (for about an year) for this, and they are extremely good for all that you have mentioned. I've never used them for live chat (do they even have that function?) …

Prismatic is what I use. It's fairly good; I hope they come up with an iPad app though. :)

You're talking of Twitter Bootstrap and the likes, so... yes. There are many others too (Zurb Foundation and Skeleton) that are very good. Here's a good comparison between some of …

I was in the exact same position a few months ago. I wasn't anywhere near 110 WPM though; I think I was 80 WPM for the most part. I write a lot so all it took me was a conscious de…

For those who have already invested quite a bit into the Apple ecosystem, bought a lot of apps, etc., I think the iPad Mini sounds like a more logical choice. I do agree that it's …
