It already makes me feel a bit old to remember the days when Gilt, Fab, LivingSocial, and Groupon were all riding hot as variants of discount deals and but one by one have fallen from grace.

Saying fuck'em and ignore'em is overly simplistic. Some people can do it. Most can't. Even athletes who earn millions of dollars and have hundreds of thousands of fans can get riled up by words from a single hater. At a Socia

So far I've only used Match and CoffeeMeetsBagel. I've noticed that CMB now only matches me up with Asian women despite the fact that I'm open to dating any ethnicitiy. I'll post my CMB stats in another time but unfortun

I think ethnicity does play some role too (which maybe works with the lighting hypothesis?). I put pictures of really attractive Asian guys (specifically men who honestly have a lot of diehard female fans who are interested in them) and at

Plus: The algorithm thought I was 24 years old. I'm actually 32. Minus: I got the lowest rating possible. Haha, terribly depressing feedback before a date.

I like Twitter because it forces people to be concise. There are already plenty of places on the web where people can post long thoughtful articles or op-ed pieces.

I actually thought an interesting idea is an app that recommends you which dating site to use based on your face. If you're good looking you can pretty much use whatever. But for someone like myself who is ethnic and not visually attra

After watching Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, I decided to check out Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard on Amazon. 67% of raters gave it 5 stars.

I wish UX/UI designers would use statistics or tests to validate their argument. The fact that someone else does it (e.g. Google, Facebook) or it seems analogous to real-life experiences is just one part of the discussion. The other pa

Some great ideas here. I really like Level Frames. Will definitely use them in the future for my space. The site makes me wish YC kept a publicly filterable curated list of products from YC companies that included these things like pretty i

Honestly, I spent a good amount of time on it trying to think how to create a video that matched the music I was 'creating.' I also saw myself creating a long song just to play in the background. Cool stuff.
