I'm completely against celebrity gossip, but this article does have one tidbit of useful information for Bay Area residents: Charlie Ayers owns a cafe in the Town & Country Center. I'll have to check it out!

I had the same feeling. It's interesting that YC is funding a company in this space, because Demand Media churns out low-quality content--essentially monetizable crap--and has no qualms about admitting this. PG has always been proud about t

Going in places in a group of friends is the only way I know things also. In fact, asking a girl on a date almost certainly implies interest in her and even the chance of "hooking up" afterward. All this is on top of the apprehension of the

I'd like to chime in on the benefits of a gym: First, the crowd there acts as an informal support group. Seeing others working hard to improve their own health is motivating for oneself. Second, a gym offers much more than simple pushups ca

Their website is beautiful; simple, elegant and tells me enough about what they do for me to want to install their plugin. I wish more companies could present their products so concisely.

Part of making an API publicly consumable is an informal commitment to maintain it. Most major API changes are announced far in advance, and legacy versions are maintained to give developers the chance to switch. A company whose core value

I first heard several of these questions specifically from multiple friends that were doing interviews at Google and were asked about them during their interviews. This was 2-3 years ago. Has their policy changed since then? I'm sure the qu
