It looks great! Congrats on releasing! I'd definitely give it a try except I have to finish and release my iPhone app first.

Secondly no offense, but Michigan Tech? Maybe try for a school somewhat closer to where you live better known for their CS program like CMU, etc?

CS isn't the only thing you can learn at college. If you feel you can learn CS much faster on your own then major in something different like advanced Math, Business, etc. It will make you a more rounded person. I got my BS degree in CS 8

Ask yourself does it really solve at least one of the three: 1) Fix a PAIN point that people will pay money to make the PAIN go away. 2) Make them more money. 3) Entertain them enough that they'll be willing to pay.

Find a small idea/project to work on that isn't work related that you'd like to code up and then like my friend at a shoe company says, "JUST DO IT!"

I don't think the last part is hard in the sense that there's a lot of work to be done. You've stated so yourself, "what's left is to polish it all and release". I think there's a subconscious fear of something else that you need to get ov

Right now we're in a bear market which I see lasting for a loooong time aka the Japenese Nikki market where it didn't go anywhere for a while (also known as the lost decade). I'd recommend putting most of your money in a safer place like lo

That's a great idea and I'm going to do just that. I looked at the Jan 2011 50 strike which has an Open Interest of 10k (largest of all the other strike prices) for a current ask of 2.14 a contract. The implied volatility isn't too high (

Not all freelancers are 2x better than employees. Most contractors we get can't cut code if their life depended on it, and usually make a mess of things and then leave. I've really yet to meet a good contractor. Also this isn't to say all
