Tired of Looking for Work, Some Create Their Own
- hbien 18y agoHey, this is cool. I remember a while back someone posting a comment about how his friend started a business making jellyfish aquariums. Is this the same guy? If so, CONGRATS!
- breck 18y agoYes, Alex Andon started http://www.jellyfishart.com http://www.jellyfishart.com. They met the NYTimes reporter at an event called LaidOffCamp in San Fran. The other company is http://www.30words.net http://www.30words.net. Send any comments/suggestions about either website my way. Unfortunately I was at a YC Dinner the night the NYTimes came over so we didn't get a plug. :(

- aandon 18y agoyeah, really excited to see my startup Jellyfish Art on nytimes I got great feedback and found a programmer from hacker news a few weeks ago Got a new website up, keep it coming ramen profitable!
- kqr2 18y agoNice writeup, including tips on how to avoid liquefying your jellyfish: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/14/how-to-avoid-liquefying-your-jellyfish/ http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/14/how-to-avoid-liquef...
- patio11 18y agoramen profitable! Wonderful news! Especially for the jellyfish. (Hungry programmer + tanks full of captive jellyfish + willingness to entertain thought of slightly-more-adventurous-than-usual Asian cuisine to avoid starvation = pass me the soy sauce, please)
- truebosko 18y agoNoticed his site has improved ten fold too. Good work!
- aandon 18y agothanks all for the feedback
