   I consider this a basic blogger template, nothing too fancy, just good and solid. This thing has been sitting on my "to do" list for a while and I decided to crank it out to get it out of my head. Any feedback would be appreciate

   If you want to go the route of people using the idea of things that have been used for thousands of years in patents, no one should be able to patent a wheel design because wheels have been around for a very long time and every wheel is a d

    If you don't mind me asking, if the company failed to turn a profit what was your next step? Savings gone, no money coming in, living with your parents and not being actively sought after. It sounds like you went "all in" whi

    I am skeptical that this will be kept up to date when a new manager thinks it's "good enough" and takes the wind out of the sails. Or if someone gets laid off that's in charge of the project. If they were to open source

    I think the first humans to go to the red planet will actually orbit and not touch down. They will stay in orbit and either pilot robots on the ground or study what happens to the body during long space flight. This will help future space f

    I live in a very heavy snow area in the North East US (Buffalo region) and we definitely don't "dig up every street every winter for repairs". What is usually done is that when the snow thaws and the temperature warms a crew

    As someone deeply entrenched in a mobile workspace I tend to ignore a lot of txts because they aren't important. If they were important the person that's texting me would go through the proper channels and write up specs, etc for

    Actually, I filed a report when I left. I had a great track record until that point. My work was spotless, I think I was nice to everyone. Within 1 week of me leaving my boss was promoted! Not because he was good at his job, but because he

    I've worked at a big internet company where the culture was very toxic and not a good place to work, let alone be a normal human being. Pushy, rude and underhanded people were plentiful and were willing to throw you so far under the bu

    I worked in a corporate setting for about a year that handed out Nerf guns on day one (if you wanted one). At the time I was 35 years old. Let me tell you how I felt. I grabbed that gun and started a war. People that were face deep in cod

    Thanks, man. I want to keep it super simple, no distractions. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I have a vision and I'm working towards it. Glad you stopped by.

    Thanks for the feedback. We are playing around with different layouts to see what people like more, so far the big picture layout isn't exactly what we are looking for but we are still working on it. I'm wondering if you actually

    This is the exact reason why we started PushdUp. As a long time reddit user I was getting sick of the drama that was happening and decided to take it upon myself to create something different. We are still in VERY early alpha so there are b
