Personally, the main reasons I have my own domain name started for "fun" but has really become more about how much having an email address is required for everything in my life. If I was using an email address that depended on be

Not gonna lie, my one and only call with the IRS required waiting about 60 minutes on hold, but once I got to talk to someone, they were friendly, knowledgable, and completely took care of my problem. In my interactions with app store revie

I went into this article with my pitchfork ready to go, but I think it's actually pretty insightful in its own way. We've changed and the world has changed. Work from home has changed what we expect from our work experience, and

For whatever reason, I've always had a "conserve things that are limited in quantity" mentality. As a kid, I'd never use stickers because they could only be used once. I'll keep them in their sheets and never-used

I'll +1 the quality of the workout with Supernatural. I was a heavy XBox fitness user and loved the workouts available, along with the use of the Kinect to gameify and make sure I wasn't cheating. Supernatural offers the same th

Tax burden in those areas (all-in, including federal, state, and city) reaches 50% at the highest tiers, but 50% of $200k+ is a lot of money. Health insurance for bigger companies is usually very good, with about you paying around $400&#x2

I wish it was something as simple as this. The real problem is that it's incredibly arbitrary and capricious. A previous company of mine had an app in the store for a couple years. A customer paid us to white label it for their priva

I agree, I want to watch the Olympics, and not Figure Skating. I know events are basically happening all the time, but for some reason I can only watch a couple events from 8pm - 11pm my time. Of that block, 50% is devoted to commercials

This looks awesome. I enjoyed Dune 1, Dune 2, Crescent Hawks' Revenge, C&C, and all of the games in the birth of this genre.

That's a great question. For me, the first question is to understand their career goals and how much they really want to focus on it. Some people want to go for promo ASAP and want to do as much as possible to build skills now. Othe

That's good to hear. When I started that job, the DB upgrade was a massive, manually curated SQL file that would be run for every upgrade and contained every change from the beginning of time. You can imagine how well that worked. I
