   Affordable tablets, intelligent computers, commercial space travel... it's so great to live in the future. Now, won't somebody please design a viable successor to the Concorde?

   As a frequent visitor to the islands (my dad lives there), how do you keep from going completely stir-crazy? I've thought about moving out there and then flying to SF occasionally for networking and stuff but I just think I would go nuts.

    Very cool! I just slapped together http://www.mileagebrain.com/ in two days to do a proof-of-concept and convince myself that it was feasible, and to gauge interest from the frequent flyer community. They love it so I'm moving forward wit

    An interesting side note to gather from this is that it confirms something I've long suspected: LinkedIn recommendations are useless. FWIW I have a couple good ones, but I don't think they've ever even helped me get an interview much less a

    I've found that when you're rejected, it's okay to write back asking for specific guidance as to how you might improve for next time. I've gotten valuable insight > 50% of the time this way.
