* I rented out a warehouse, filled it up with 1/2 dozen hackers and musicians, built some bedrooms, a stage, a sound system, a recording booth, a server closet, got a fractional T3 installed, and threw bi parties which covered 60-70% of our

In the past when I've been involved with or observed schemes that involved bartering software development services for other services, it has ended poorly. The main problem is that software development never really ends. There are always bu

Part of the problem I feel with home-produced video is just the poor quality. A good number of us use macbooks with that awful little camera in the absolute wrong place. It's probably hard to do, but a video camera in the center of the scre

The problem with video blogging is that it doesn't have the same mass appeal as text blogging. As uncomfortable as people are with their grammatical abilities, they still blog, constantly, no matter how much we hope they wouldn't. As for vi

What was their big idea in 1998? Search .. Not a billion dollar winner. They only really won after seeing Overture and saying "Damn, we could do way better than those ideala! clowns"

Body Doubles for Rappers is the clear winner here! It's not quite as scaleable, but it would be a great boutique service. BDFRAAS

I find them just as annoying as the "How I Did Some Simple Task" posts that finally seem to have died down.

Is mig33 still around? I thought they laid off almost all of their staff and took their assets back to Singapore where the founder was from.

I don't know about keeping the homeless off of public transit. I just don't want to have to smell them, or have my physical safety threatened by them. We're going to fail at treating the disease (failed healthcare), but at least we can look

All is quite a generalization. Try cramming yourself on any of the buses that run through Chinatown in San Francisco between the hours of 7am and 10pm.

We'll spend an incredible amount of money on health care and social services, but they will never be terribly effective. I've never seen a social service that was effective at anything but spending money. However a profit-driven business c

I've watched at least 4 defecations in the past year, and uncountable urinations.. Add to that 6 or 7 fist fights, a purse snatching, and my personal favorite, a crazy man swinging his cane at me while ranting about homosexuals and family v

When I think customer service, I think of things like a driver being able to alert you to your stop. Or even better, not purposefully accelerating and decelerating in a manner which makes you fall down (I have a friend who is a Muni driver

Bicycles are not always the answer, especially not in a city as cold, hilly, and overrun by suburban drivers as San Francisco is.. People from Marin, Walnut Creek, and all over the peninsula & south bay shouldn't be allowed to drive in

I think it is more than convenience. The real question is, how do we make public transportation less like a public service, and more like a profit-driven business? Call me a classest, but I don't want to have to share my commute with a schi

I wish I could say the same about my Steelcase Critereon Plus. I purchased two of them, and have had them both repaired 1/2 dozen times each. Very poor construction quality, especially given their specifications.

"Fail quickly" always annoyed me. The part that annoys me the most is that institutionalized tend to view "I failed to the tune of several million dollars" as validation of somebody's investment worthiness. Sure there are lessons to be lear

This sounds quite a bit like Amazon's Subscriptions. I've used that for diapers, so I'm thinking that underwear and socks would probably work the same way.

Personally I use ad-blockers because flash is broken and inevitably will break all modern-browsers at one point or another, especially newspaper sites that seem to think there's no such thing as too much flash.
