I think there may be some merit to your idea about the "live aboard" concept. It might work best someplace like Anacortes, where the boat could be moved across the border to Vancouver for a period of time. Sailor here as well (out of Morro

Certification isn't cheap though. It's a definite barrier to entry at the outset. CCHIT seems to be structured to favor monolithic companies with deep pockets, and startups with lots of funding. The certification process also dictates to a

I don't think it makes sense to compare small, well funded tech startups in Silicon Valley to more generalized businesses in other areas of the state. Try to start a manufacturing plant, a machine shop, an automotive repair facility, a farm

I think it's a very dumb way to advertise. No matter what side of the aisle they are on politically, they alienate a considerable percentage of potential employees/customers with that strategy.

I'm sure Winston Churchill thought that too, in 1945, after showing tremendous leadership in WWII. But he lost re-election in a landslide. Voters are fickle, and often vote for what they want in the future, not to reward past achievement. $

Humans have been trapping animals for food for a very long time. For example, the "promontory peg" deadfall is a simple trigger based trap that can easily be made with stone tools. No guns, arrows, spears or bare hands required. http://www

My experience working in both LA and SV backs up the price differential you raised. I've worked on some really interesting projects in LA though.

To your rebuttal on the first link: Obama denied 70,779 requests in his first year, vs Bush at 47,395 in his last: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/21/nation/la-na-ticket2...

I disagree. For example: The Obama administration has already failed to respond to more FOIA requests than the Bush administration. http://www.rcfp.org/newsitems/index.php?i=11758 Obama Administration Aides meet with lobbyists off the Whi

This list does indeed appear to be a veritable who's who of the president's campaign supporters. Seems hypocritical to me. If it's good enough for the rest of us, it should be good enough for them too. http://www.hhs.gov/ociio/regulation

It always cracks me up to see Calacanis accuse someone else of grandstanding ... That's classic. On the investment side, I think it's interesting how some of the older notions of control and influence by investors in a startup are changing

This data is not accurate, at least for me. After calling AT&T and Verizon just now (both listed) they tell me I can't subscribe because they don't offer service here.

Back in '08 or so I was at Disneyland. A woman bumped in to me after getting off the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Then she bumped into me again at the turnstyle going out where people back up a bit. I remember thinking she was rude. When

The new iPad will probably be awesome. I have the original, but don't use it as much after getting an 11" Macbook Air. I'll probably sit this one out.

I'd like to have an app on my iPhone that gave me the ability to search local store inventory. Not sure if it's like this everywhere, but one thing I like about the local Borders vs. the local Barnes and Noble is that Borders has kiosks aro

I hope the San Luis Obispo store is not one of the 200 being closed. The service and selection has declined of late, but I still enjoy visiting this store and have spent quite a bit of money there over the years.

From the article: "One of the big things that makes Experts Exchange unique is a patented system that requires askers to select their best answer." A great example of how broken the patent system is.

I disagree. I think he's right to be cynical and he has a right to speak out about it. I think the initiative has potential, but valid pushback at this stage is healthy.

45 and still love to code. I still feel like I'm 25. I attribute this to exercise, a sense of humor and beer. (not necessarily in that order)
