It's not easy. I did it for 7 years out of college, slowly raising my salary from minimum wage to not much above minimum wage. Overall my standard of living wasn't horrible though, I had an old used car, lived in an old mansion with 5 fri

That's a great runway.. you have enough time to fail a couple of times!

I've had the Fit for over a year now and I worship it. It's as if Honda put the smartest engineers on some of the more 'mundane' things you find in a car. For example, the back seat design is brilliant. They fold all the way down for an

In 1998 a friend and I were furiously writing a business plan for a 'business plan contest' held at our college. After 2 weeks of continuously writing and editing, at 3:00am, we couldn't come up with anything for the closing paragraph so I

To make something from nothing that has an impact, hopefully for the better, in how people live. Hitting payroll, though, in the more short term. :)

What an amazing story.. The last paragraph pretty much sums everything up.

Definitely the mini. When you are getting started you will want to throw it out the window with the joys of learning objective-c. Wait a day or two. It's not that bad.

I've been in this industry for many years.. there are a bunch of people throwing software onto a hushpc. They come and go every year. The consumer marketplace for infrastructure hardware is fickle indeed.. the customers who could actually

Anything can be broken into. The problem with computers is that if you break into one, you have a much better chance at another one. There is no perfect 'voting machine'. Quite often bins of votes mailed in are found after the election. W

When people talk about how starting a company will bring you to the best and worst times of your life, this would be in the 'worst' category. Spend time working your contacts to help them find another job. Your the one that screwed up, n

I recruit from my alma mater first. I help people who grew up in my hometown. It's a comfort level thing.

I think this is a great idea! She is offering help. Frankly, this is the first post I've read where someone is offering plain and simple help. It would be great if she could help everyone, but her available 'free helping' time is I'm sure

This is indeed a good post! The title is actually a bit misleading. I usually don't read articles that have the word 'myth' in the title. The best way to 'buy' time is to get a wire cutter and clip off the end of the AC cord of your TV.

My entire youth + part of my adult life was spent reading his books and doing his projects. He taught me everything about electronics that the basic school system could not. Ok, now I'm going to dig them out + go through them. How he can

I can't tell you how many times a large truck accelerated up behind me with the horn blaring and guys yeehawing in a not so pleasant manner interrupting a nice, quite bike ride in the countryside. Sometimes they throw can's or cigarettes.

When starting a company in the beginning it's really clear what success means: Hitting payroll and staying alive. Once you clear that hurdle it get's a lot more complicated. No longer is it black and white. Alive or Dead. It's actually e

This is a great example of ingenuity. We humans tend to have 'not invented here' syndrome. We understand so little about nature and ourselves that we often don't look for solutions that already exist. We are so often excited about, in th

An interesting book might be to collect a bunch of choice essays from people about this same topic: "Growing up geek" I'm sure there are some pretty cool stories, and it might help younger generations get through their early years with a bi

Please forgive me for being a bit out of it. But I write this as my ignorance might be helpful insight. I thought justin.tv was this site that tracked a guy named Justin 24/7. I seemed to recall him having a camera crew with him all the t

The content is niche. And they advertise well, since this is a 'customer base' for them. If I were selling car parts, I'd have articles about cars, and post on message boards that are car focused. They are a good example of what you could

Add a 'scale' slider or buttons at the bottom. Then offer this service to companies that want to show pictures of their goods in 'actual size', with the scale used for larger objects. Perhaps might have some traction in the 'adult entertai
