We just got access to Founder Dating in Las Vegas. It's a great resource. I enjoy not getting pitched by biz people looking for developers, but instead have meaningful conversations about starting up businesses. And long walks on the beach

I just used a site with Chute for the first time yesterday ( http://www.refer.ly ) and it blew my mind how easy it was to grab photos from the various cloud like places I upload them to (facebook, flickr, etc) and use them right there on Re

I sat in on an interview for a at that time current SCO Engineer. He told us about his current projects like getting Firefox running on their Unix platform. None of us wanted to work with him even though he had the skills we were looking fo
