haha. my cofounder and i are married. we met playing ultimate frisbee. we "adventured" more so than "dated," and were soon engaged. the startups came soon after. it was lucky that although we were so much in synch in spirit, our professio

the kids might be more invested in it had they been more a part of the design and construction. granted, 3 and 5 are a bit young. ideally, you put together a totally scrappy, safe tree house when they're 3 and then when they're 10 and 12 yo

it's hard to get a team together if you don't share your ideas. what's more likely, that another rock solid team takes your idea and implements without you, or that someone else with a similar idea decides to join forces? i don't know the a

excellent read. one thought i can't figure out: how come native american diseases didn't equally damage europeans? why the different biology and disease ecosystems?

exactly. i'm not a designer, so i'm obviously out of the loop. still curious about what's going on, though. thus: how much difference do fonts make? any a/b tests? any qualitative urls you can recommend that will blow my mind? keep in mind

the wright brother quote and perspective was awesome to read. the analogy to posterous made me do a double take. what is the equivalent paragraph about the "hard problem" that others have ignored that only posterous is or was experimenting

this is exactly why stereotypes and generalizations are a disservice to everyone. there are times when statistics are applicable, eg making business decisions based on market research. maybe it is even relevant when deciding what to write a

amen. plus, these kinds of statements, and stereotypes in general, tend to be self-fulfilling: if you think all X's can't do Y, then anyone who can do Y doesn't look like an X to you.

first, are the overwhelming studies focused solely on obses people, or other people as well? i could imagine obese people and "normal" people have significantly different diet and eating habits. the growing wisdom is that the more you exerc

not a bad question, though poorly (immaturely) articulated. in addition to mbrubeck's comment, i'd say that javascript has grown from merely providing neat actions to webpages, to being model, view and controller. at my startup we (er, the

it depends on what kind of change you want and at what cost. great changers focus so purely on the matter at hand that they do not let their causes get dragged down by insults or violence. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr come to m

you guys are doing interesting stuff. i think your interface needs a lot of work. i'm not a designer myself, so apologies for the lack of constructive criticism (as a user, it's prolly wrong anyway). i can say that i just felt overwhelmed a
