My testimonial: I, a random person, was walking down Madison one day when I found the Todd and Holland store. Bill Todd spent over an hour introducing me to some white teas that were new to me, including providing taste tests. He was extr

This looks very interesting...we have several CL products that might benefit from having JS as a scripting option. I'm curious about the "clever tricks" used to overcome things viewed as weaknesses in Lisp...any details? Thanks.

I hadn't actually looked at Scratch in detail before...it reminds me strongly of iShell (multimedia authoring platform), which grew out of some Apple tech.

Yeah, you can smell the BS, can't you? He's a very prolific writer...and a scam artist. [IIRC, his real name is Mark Ford. He's gotten in trouble in the past for laundering money, fraud, etc.]

I'm happy a gastric band worked for you, but I'm always uncomfortable when people suggest surgery without also mentioning that it has major risks. [My aunt passed away last year after gastric band surgery at one of the top hospitals in the

Re: "over the top" Gary Halbert, one of the most infamous "over the top" copywriters ever, was using this general verbiage since at least the mid-80s. He used it with, among other things, his very famous "Family Coat of Arms" mailings, whi

A 529 is the way to go for this sort of thing...much better than the savings bonds I received as gifts when I was a child. My son's 529 is with USAA...they have great customer service, free financial advisory services, and their plans have

I use ScreenFlow (from www.Telestream.net) because it is fairly intuitive and has all of features I would ever need. It is also made by a company that has strong experience in the video arena and I think it benefits from the development of

I read a study that said that adding milk negates essentially all of the antioxidant benefits of tea... (I'm not sure if it's true, and I don't add milk to my tea anyway...)

<Anecdotally> I've formed three series LLCs (one in IL and two in DE.) The first two times, they were basically used to register investment fund families so that each individual fund didn't have to be registered. We saved a signif

A pressure cooker is best if you're using dried beans...you can cook (everything) faster and retain more nutrients. Also, your body will adapt very quickly if you start consuming legumes consistently...you will overcome the bloating/flatule

I'm excited to finally be getting the book...I just wish I had read comic books as a kid so that I didn't have to struggle with picking up the proper 'comic reading flow' in my thirties ;-) (BTW, Conrad, I think you meant to say 'geezer' in

We've recently invested in 4-5 companies that are very similar to startups in this latest batch of YC companies...and it has happened before. Sometimes it makes me queasy, but I usually take it as a confirmation signal that there is a mark

It's the "really good" part of the equation that is missing, unfortunately...I have only found cheap ones, mediocre ones, and bad ones. There isn't a single one that I have been thrilled with as far as price, customer service, and business

1. I define a domain squatter as someone that buys domains and sits on them in the hopes of achieving a (usually inflated) payday, without actively using them except for maybe a scammy AdSense page. In contrast, I think about 90% of my dom
