It's funny to think about it. Apple has managed to do such a good job at building up it's own Karma, that it can release ecosystems to great fanfare using rather similar techniques that would get Microsoft nothing but jeers. An app store

I go to a lot of shows, at least 4-6 per month. 1/2 of them have at least one band I've seen before, the other 1/2 I choose based on logistics and the club. I ask at each merch booth if they have anything available on itunes, if not then I'

This sounds like an awesome way to meet new people. I know a woman (@sfsouplady) who did something similar when she moved here .. She started giving away soup in front of bars in her neighborhood, which landed her a job in the first week (n

The two are not mutually exclusive. The higher the general vacancy within a given plane the higher the likelihood of there being cheap upgrades available immediately before take-off. I generally plan my travel around less desirable times be

Personally, I'm rather excited by the impending death of Sun. There must be dozens of new startups in the works because of this. Recurly.com is one of them.

Just a quick point, you do not need to own a car and pay for car insurance in SF. I've been car-free for two years. Whenever I need to go somewhere that isn't convenient to my schedule or by public transit, I use zipcar, which is very conve

Betting on the midwest in the same breath as looking down on Roulette and Craps? Are you sure you're not a gambling man? Having grown up in the midwest, let me tell you that beyond the fact that it's cold (it is), except for Chicago, it's r

I believe the only other time I'd been to killerstartups.com was for a bio of Gliffy, another online diagramming tool. Having used both of these, and another 1/2 dozen other competitors, the web based diagramming tools just feel not to offe
