   I also love it (on it right now). I use it for email, reading (news, books, Instapaper), surfing the web, watching netflix, scrabble, etc. I also use it as my todo list, calendar, notepad, and doing mockups while in meetings with clients.

   As I read the comments, I am surprised how little existentialism there is listed. Maybe not the best place to start, but I think it is the life changing stuff.

   I had that gig for a while. I was a consultant working on Business Intelligence and found a niche in automating rights management. After a couple of years the travel got old (and there were some not fun projects in there too).

    I disagree. Search Google for "who will buy my idea". The second result is a short tongue-in-cheek where I offer to buy ideas for $0.02. I get phone calls and emails on a regular basis from people actually wanting to sell ideas. They get

    I built a tool called Statzen that I shutdown because it didn't get traction. It had a feature that would show you what topics/tags from your blog were getting read (via web and/or rss) and what sub-topics within that topic were getting rea

    I am probably not all the different from you. But I have been running Wordpress on my own server for years and have never had a problem.

    I guess it depends how you measure good software. Wordpress works. Really well.

    I doubt that it is a "false option" since it is so clearly based on the number of transactions.

    I am playing with InDinero and it is frustrating that it is not tied to Quickbooks. This is a deal-breaker since I already have to have Quickbooks for my accountant.

    I appreciate that and have lived it for some time. Now I am in my 30s, have kids, own a profitable business, etc. I have improvised my way here with vague goals that I have pretty much attained. I have a pretty clear picture of where I wan

    I really hope you didn't get screwed in the divorce by taking the business. Valuing a small business in a divorce is tricky.

    I am checking it out now. I have had a Mint account for business too just because it is a better interface than my bank. InDinero looks great. Unfortunately it pulled in my accounts and created a ton of notification messages. When I delete

    I noticed this after my divorce when friends and acquaintances started coming to me for divorce recommendations. My theory was that before the divorce, my friends would look to my ex-wife and I and say, "well, we aren't that bad and they ca

    I think you are totally wrong about the reaction in the midwest. Have you actually had this experience? I live in Nashville, TN. We just had a launch of an "entrepreneur center", the local business schools teach "entrepreneurism", job post

    They have these at the Owen Business School at Vanderbilt University. They stink. Literally. They smell like urine. If we are going to use these on a wide scale then I think that men need to drink the water that is saved so that they have

    I have had great experience with Acrobat Connect. I have mostly used it for small presentations and even some one on one. At the time it was free for the level I was using it.

    Migrating an application from Oracle to another DBMS is not adding a feature. I would think you could have also sold the app to other companies running on Oracle. It then just becomes a cost/benefit analysis. Is it worth 100hrs? How many t

    Planning now for a feature in the next version is counter to creating a MVP. I can think of lots of times that I have created future-proof architecture that was never used, but I can't think of any time where there was a needed feature that
