   I quit my great developer job in January to be a ski bum in Wyoming. I just got back from West Africa. It will be worth it if I don't end up living out of my car. Timing.

   Wow. I'd just like to thank everyone that replied to my inquiry. Lots of great ideas and great resources. OT: This post would make a good argument for links/comments being a good metric to test for submission worth.

   Yes, it was very deliberate thinking. Something I don't always do, but I'm sure everyone has done, like when you misplace your car keys. I'm not buying that his winnings were because of the techniques he used. He is a PHD in an extremely ha

   I know I'm going to get killed, but... Isn't what he did just good old fashioned thinking?

   I get that. But from the perspective of a traveler, for any given well traveled city you are going to find an equivalent host with equivalent accommodations at both sites. I wonder if it would have been wiser to start Airbnb.com as the web

    Whats really missing from this article, and is alluded to quite frequently, is couchsurfing.com I skimmed the article, seems like a great pitch, but I didn't get why I would want to use airbnb.com over couchsurfing. couchsurfing.com is p

    I recommend zappos to everyone. I haven't bought footwear anywhere else for at least the past 5 years. It seems bizarre it took so long for an online retailer to figure out a great barrier for online shoppers is the return shipping if the

    I laugh. I'm not exactly laid off, but I quit a pretty decent dev job in January to do some traveling. Since then I built a gmaps mashup for a library, a wordpress twitter widget, a custom wordpress widget, and $80 worth of elance work. I'm

    Anecdotal, but I am an unemployed software engineer/ programmer/ whatever. I picked up some temp labor work for quick cash. Obviously that kind of work has built in benefits that satisfy the mind and body, but my "colleagues" really made me
