A purring cat on my lap chills me out. A second cat on my desk helps me debug + does all my proofreading. The perfect playlist keeps us all in rhythm. I play the same playlist every day. I find this helpful to make it more 'background', a

look up "faulty capacitors" in google. multiply by 8000. But we got through it. We repaired or replaced each one as my life rode along the bell curve of faulty capacitor failures. Honestly, I don't know how we did it. But we survived.

An open, frank conversation sounds like the best approach. He might be entirely reasonable and helpful to have as a stakeholder in the future. But if you are at an impass, and you really feel strongly about it, press the 'delete' key and s

Congratulations! Once you have bitten the apple, it's tough to go back to a world where you have a boss. Do you really want to hear someone give you a 'performance review'? Performance metrics are ok, but now that you don't have full contr

1. Appreciate how lucky you are to be starting something from nothing. 2. The less cash you spend the longer you have to make your dream possible. Spend cash in the right places. Like health insurance. 3. Never interrupt a good salesperso

I have almost cobbed something like this before - the ultimate way to be out of the office and get the benefits of 'wandering'. Of course, a kind soul would have to put you on the conference table during meetings. Imagine a virtual company

It's the best thing to have happened. You were a little obsessed. Now become a lot obsessed with yourself. Essays and some rent money don't have all the answers. No one really does. People, please stop obsessing over this stuff. It's n

I love it. It's the first music site I've been to that has grabbed me. I actually signed up for it, which is rare. My only feedback is that the colors could be more subdued. Or more glaring. Actually, the colors of the headers seem a bi

It is good to see a contradicting post here from time to time, as there are a lot of downsides to starting a company. I found myself at the age of 30 many years into a company I started at 23, and it consumed my entire 20's. Every aspect o
