Ah... it was news to me. Interweb reception isn't good in my cave, I guess. ;-) Good point re: Google. They definitely have nice charts but I'm trying to not rely on Google for everything. I'm already using them for ads, maps, and AJAX li

See how far you can get without raising money, even if you have to work part-time on the side. Unless you're building something that requires a lot of storage, bandwidth, or people you can get a lot done without a lot of cash. Your locati

I wonder if DHH means SF proper, or if he's actually talking about the entire Bay Area. The Peninsula (Palo Alto, San Mateo) and the South Bay (Mountain View, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale) are home to the popular web sites used around t
