While I don't know any MBAs, the advice is sound for anyone wishing to get into startups. In fact, I'd argue that many of these techniques could get you the inside track to most job openings.

As one of the many on the job hunt, I can say attaching a resume isn't poor form. I'm getting interviews, and these interviewers are calling my references. That said, it's a good idea to make sure the juicy highlights are shared between lin

I'm a huge fan of Eno's work. This article, however, is 90% adjectives. Did the author just find a thesaurus for the first time, or what?

I'm an avid Brightkite user, and a budding Foursquare user. To me, they both serve different purposes. For one, I like Brightkite because it's an okay place to start conversations. If I really want something to go to Twitter and Facebook,

A year or so ago, I was going to help a stranger jump-start his car. He didn't have jumper cables with him, but I keep a set in all of my motorized vehicles. I generally assume (often rightly so) that folks who don't own a pair of jumper ca

Hey Joe. This is exciting! I have another friend (@catalyst) who pretty much lives in an RV year round, with a wife and two home-schooled kids. They've been at it for a few years now. Michael travels the country, consulting and giving speec

I ride to work (and for errands) year round despite the weather. It's not that big of a deal. Riding my bike 40 miles out of town then camping in this stuff, though, would be a tall order with the gear I have. Mostly, the camping part would

I knew you guys had a laser cutter at hacklab, but I'd never heard the back story. Thanks! That was a great read!

This. Just a little bit of sanding, some filler, some paint... it yields a pretty nice product. I wish the photos weren't so craptastic, but my friend rob made a plastic combination lock on a high-end 3D printer. While the resolution is cer

My guess is probably around $100-150 per unit, and I'd also guess that the main part of the profit is in the laser-cut parts, at $200. Now, they take quite a bit of time to cut, and laser cutters aren't cheap, but look at the numbers. That'

I'm a member of CCCKC, a hackerspace in Kansas City. We picked up one of these a while ago, and one guy is even using it to print out parts for a RepRap Mendel. I find it inspiring that this project was born right out of the hackerspace con

I play bass guitar and I love it. I don't have much cash on hand, but the misses and I can probably make it last to the beginning of march. Definitely not enough for me to fly off somewhere. It's also too cold in Kansas City for me to go on

I was recently laid off from (oddly) a Three-Letter-Corporation after a 3.5 year run of things, but probably not the one you work for. For the last 20 years, I've been passionate about technology, and for more than half of that, I've been p

I think sysadmins and the server market would keep "Linux" as a whole from becoming a monoculture. But I think "Linux On The Desktop" would probably fare far better as a monoculture. That's my opinion, obviously. I'm generally an Operating

I wholeheartedly agree with this man. Of course, I'm currently unemployed and would receive heavy bias from a person using this technique.

I see your point, but I think if there was more unification, The Linux Movement" would maybe stand a chance at gaining more ground on the desktop market.

Arguments like this guy and his friend had are the things that distro wars are made of, and it's this sort of infighting that keeps 1996..2010 from becoming "The Year Of The Linux Desktop" As for Linux distros, I prefer highly flexible ones

I dual-boot OS X and Windows 7 in bare metal on my MacBook. That gets me a few serious "WTFs" as well. I also run several other OSes in VirtualBox, usually full-screen. Karmic is one of them, but OpenBSD and Arch Linux are more common.

I've been unemployed for about a week, and I think bicycling is the only thing other than a paycheck I'm missing. I have trouble riding for ride's sake. I ride for transportation. I've done some really long rides (a 135mi/~225km ramble once
