Earlier quoted context omitted.

Great page, and thanks for the link to Girl Talk. It's massaging my eardrums right now. Creative Commons license FTW!

You might appreciate this as well http://mashupbreakdown.com/

This site and Girl Talk are the coolest things I've seen/heard in a long time. If you like music (who doesn't?) you have to check this out.

Too many chiefs and just one craftsman. This definitely rings a bell. It's such a shame for startups to "enterprisy" their job roles.

I think that can come in handy in a business-to-business situation. For example, if you have two engineers you can either call them each a "Software Developer" or you can have a "VP of Engineering" and a "CTO". Now when your customer, Huge-Corp(TM), who is going to pay the bills for the next 3 months calls, would you rather tell them "let me put one of our developers on the phone" or "let me put our vice president of…

In a similar vein, I introduce myself as "I'm in charge of the product" when returning calls.

6 up-votes, so I take even your VP of sales now got the HN account :) (edit) The page itself - I am trying to like it, but something about it rubs me the wrong way. It might be that it is too personal and overly playful, and people look somewhat unnatural, almost as if they were forced to look having fun. This coupled with sudden image swaps creates the impression of a twitchy teenager trying to look cool rather than…

Nitpicking about the shave? Seriously? He doesn't look unkempt, he looks relaxed and like he's enjoying his life.

Not nitpicking, no. He is a head of the company, and his appearance contributes to the overall company's image. Consider what your first impression of a company would be if its CEO were a pierced dude with dreadlocks. Same goes here, "relaxed" and "approachable" is nice for socializing, but in business context it might be less desirable than "reliable" and "organized".

I will take back the unkempt, but I would still insist on Chris needing a shave. Now, back to the downvoting frenzy.
