I do it ( http://www.forescoregolfstats.com ) for a very simple little web app that I developed a few years ago. I only suggest the one-time fee method if your app requires little maintenance and support. I receive a support request once or

I don't know how many sports fans we have around these parts but Twitter has become an outstanding source for breaking sports news. At the trade deadline for the NBA and NHL last season, news was breaking on Twitter well before the major ne

I've only been a member for a few weeks but I'm beginning to notice a positive influence on my work as a result of Forrst. Most of my jobs lean towards the role of a developer and not a designer anymore, but since I joined Forrst I've gone

The math nerd would be right Ray Allen is a good shooter. You can look over the course of his career and verify that. But that's not the issue with streaks in sports. The issue is that Ray Allen isn't a good shooter right now. The idea that

As a sports fan, I have a problem with this statement: '...picking the number "7" implies that number 8 got on base.' Most of the time, at least when it comes to sportscasting, picking the number 7 implies that's the total number of batters

I would love to see this Google chart's rising trend compared to Facebook's rising user base over the same period of time. This "flock" might turn out to be an insignificant and miniscule percentage of Facebook's 400 million plus pool of ac

All this proves is that a bunch of nerds got caught up in an open source telethon and gave some money. I highly doubt anyone at Facebook gives a damn... especially if they've watched the "pitch" video in which these guys come off like a bun

Paul Graham certainly didn't give Viaweb to Yahoo for free. Joel Spolsky sells software for a living and is looking to turn a profit with StackExchange soon. Why should people be criticized, on a site specifically built to attract entrepren
