Even after logging in I don’t see anything that resembles the Tinger-style swipe cards. Just text saying "Looks a little empty…". Am I missing something?

Startups are going to look at how you improve their condition and whether you can do it consistently, not what year you were born in, especially at 25. I know it’s just a question but it seems you’re making a big deal out of nothing. Just s

Pretty slick. Can’t wait to see the nuts & bolts of it if you decide to release it. Two problems I noticed so far: 1) Images are getting cut off from the header in the individual blog posts (I’m using Chrome 36 on OS X) 2) Back button f

Part of the “make the change easy” was making sure that I had work lined up before leaving my job. So by the time I was ready to quit, I was already jumping into projects (these projects were with people that I had worked with in my last jo

If you want to dive into self-employment and it seems daunting compared to steady income, you gotta make it so that change can will be easy, then make that easy change (got that from a Twitter quote somewhere). I’m not running a product com

For Canadians that have looked across all the banks, why did you choose the one you’re now with? I have both a CAD & USD account with Tangerine but the lack of wire transfer is hurting now, so looking to switch over to another bank.

I’m doing a 4/5 schedule now for client projects. It was a lot easier to do this since going freelance and charging based on the value I generate, instead of an hourly rate. While more “free time” has been a bonus (realistically I just
