Funny, I was thinking about almost exactly the same topic just yesterday. Much of the problem absolutely has to be patents. I have several awesome ideas which I will never put one second of effort into because I know I would get patent tr

I do the show thing too. I'm not sure how healthy it is, but I always feel great after doing it.

I'm not really sure if this qualifies as a "hack". A friend and I were riding dirt bikes through the forest and he crashed in a mud hole which was next to a bees' nest in the ground. He was allergic, got stung twice and we were deep in the

I'm not a UI expert and definitely need to improve things with my site, but I've found that most non-tech users can't be bothered to do much of anything that requires a little thought. If you're not spoon feeding it to them, they don't wan

Can you clarify a little on #2? Have you been paid up to the point at which they decide to stop the job or you don't get paid for any of your time? Along those same lines, how do you handle invoicing? Do you take any up-front payment? Bill

You can only bring on people later if you are successful, but becoming successful on your own is so damn hard and psyche destroying, if you don't see some success in a reasonable amount of time, you won't get there alone. Do your next start

I've had many lucid dreams, though I've never been able to hang on for very long. I'll try the spinning technique next time for sure. If this interests you, you might also be interested in "binaural beats". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi

I solve my most difficult problems when I'm not trying. Usually while driving or napping. If I push myself to keep going until I figure it out, I just waste a lot of time and get frustrated. Work hard, take breaks.
