We are setting up a trailer at 7th & Red River for SXSW doing cell phone repairs and selling external batteries, cables, chargers and cases.

Why it is awesome: I have done a lot of things as an entrepreneur, but I've never street hustled before. As an introvert, this is pretty intimidating, but I think it will be good practice for doing more sales in the future. Plus, it gets me out from behind the computer and into the real world, talking face-to-face with folks! :)

youtubedown It's awesome because youtube is (intentionally) annoying, plus, it's nice to give back bugfix/feature patches when someone else (jwz) is kind enough to give their code to the public. EDIT: Thanks detaro. Link removed. I didn't know it was an issue, and obviously, couldn't see it.

You know what's also annoying? linking to jwz from HN. He really seems to not like that... (EDIT: link has been removed in the meantime)

ClickRouter - because it allows me to use all my affiliate accounts (CJ, Skimlinks, Viglinks, shareasale, etc) at once. This has nearly doubled my affiliate revenue. At first it was an internal tool I ran for a long time, but been working to make it a service. http://clickrouter.com

what's with the misleading Twitter link at the bottom of the page?

You know what's even more annoying? Someone with a public website who breaks links in such an overtly antagonistic way. I've seen other people do this by simply having a text message that kindly asks people not to link to them.

Anyway, it seems to be a static website, and it should be able handle HN traffic for a fairly small amount of effort and/or money.

Our hosted load testing service which uses real browsers, driven by javascript, ruby or java code the same way you'd write your usual selenium/webdriver tests.

It is awesome because it will make load test script creation/maintenance just like anything else. It will also be the first "opinionated" load testing tool.
