Welcome to Texas. I had never even seen a cockroach before moving to Houston from Michigan in 2008, but I saw my first one within the first three days of living there (and I was living in a $1,200/mo apt. in a nice area). Maybe to reduce

I'm currently working with a freelance Rails dev on an hourly basis to build my MVP and the thing that bothers me most is not knowing how much time it will take to get to the point I want to be. I have every screen mocked up in Illustrator

As a current Portland resident, I can say that the rain has one advantage: Your employees will have nothing else to do but stay inside and work. I know I've found myself trudging through work on multiple occasions just because it was so cr

Hey there. What I've done in the past is make a long list of words that could be applied to what your company does, how it does it, who it's designed for, etc. Grab a thesaurus and look up synonyms for words that are particularly applicab

Shoot me an email; I'd love to learn more about the site. I majored in marketing and am working on my own startup but depending on the time commitment you're looking for I may be able to help. I see you're up in Seattle; I'm actually in P

Congrats on the site. I'm not much of a fisherman, but I've been out on the Columbia here in Oregon a few times for Spring and Fall Chinook. Good eats. I'm not formally a designer, but I fancy myself a fairly decent UX/UI guy and think I

I'm currently reading The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman. Even if you won't be doing much work on the design side, it's a great study in why things are made the way they are and what constitutes good/bad design.

Love the site; I too am in the process of making the transition from being just the "sales guy" into a semi-competent tech guy. Right now I'm paying a dev to build my MVP in Rails but have taught myself HTML, CSS, and am learning Javascrip

I'm a regular user of HelloFax; it's a lot easier than going to OfficeMax to fire off a couple-page document every now and then for my day job.

I think in the context of the video clip they are more referring to product/market fit. Many startups fail because they either don't recognize the real problem, they build the wrong product to address a problem, or they burn through their

If you're going to have people close to you testing it with no real worries about user activation, engagement, etc. just get an alpha out there and start getting feedback from real users. Once you've driven out most of the bugs and the app

Those are some pretty darn good names. Do you guys actually own these or are you an exchange service for the real owners? I definitely see the benefit in offering straight-up, no-nonsense domains for a reasonable price, although I do think
