They should clone the visualization, but if other large companies are any indication, the process will take months. They can't clone the hipmunk, though ;) thanks for validating my doodle-work.

Thanks. After the reddit alien, then the breadpig, and now the hipmunk, I'm really weary of pushing out a mascot of fail, so I'm pretty selective about work I do :-/

That was the book that convinced me to start a startup with Steve. He'd let me borrow his copy of it, which is on his shelf to this day (I'm crashing at his place this week and just saw it). Can't recommend it enough. It's not brilliantly w

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. Now I'm going to insist that you post a link to your registry (or email me - alexis@breadpig.com)

Are you working with NIH by any chance? I obviously really appreciate the research you're doing (and as far as cancers go, I know there are much more significant ones - from a statistical pov - but your work is very much appreciated by the

Not knowing anything about your problems, please don't consider my one story as a litmus test for 'life problems.' Everyone has them and mine look petty in the light of most people's (thinking on a global scale here). Just know that having

Wow! Stroker Ace - nice to see you again. Yes, I did have an internetargument (tm) with quite a few folks on that board :-/ I feel like it was political? (2000 election maybe?) but I still remember when Paul (sgt!oink) and I started the ori

I didn't write it for pity and I hope it didn't come across that way. I left reddit nearly a year ago now. And I thought the one thing missing from the multitude of 'reasons to start a startup' posts was that it could actually be an incredi

Only you never listened to me when I advised you to give me 51% of the equity in fleaf[l]icker! But seriously, that's the magic of email, right? I'm just glad I was helpful. I only wish I had little elves who could help me get through my em

It no doubt depends on the person, but for a community of startupfounders (or aspiring ones) I hope it resonates. There are surely examples of "big scary generic companies" handling this kind of ordeal (when it happens to their employees) w

http://breadpig.com/legend/ Breadpig had just the right amount of professionalism for what we aimed to do. There are some truly awful names out there, but this lesson about a name's "seriousness" is a good one. I think a little humor/self

I'd love to hear the backstory on that! Any other reddit anecdotes I can share for you? I shared a few on my blog ( http://reddit.blogspot.com ) during the startup, but we lucked into Chris because he went back to his PHD after doing YC tha

I'll never forget this essay, because he first delivered it as a talk at Harvard that Steve and I trained up from Virginia to attend. After Steve had lent me Masters of Doom, I was already convinced we should start a startup together, but t

It's true, I mocked up basically the site you see there in a few minutes in Photoshop, sent the png to Jason and he asked for the PSD... I didn't know he'd actually use the draft as the final version - hehe. It's got a certain charm to it,

Sorry for the confusion here, but reddit's merch is produced by and for reddit's profit -- just sold via the same xkcd store as breadpig. I did run both (before leaving reddit) and only the profits of breadpig merch is donated.

There are clearly a lot of DDG fans here on HackerNews, but it hasn't yet broken out into the mainstream. That said, providing a great search engine (I took the DDG Challenge -- tried it as my default search for a week -- and I'm still usin

Thanks, PG. In fact, I was talking about delicious -> reddit as recently as my public interview with Jessica on Thursday. I, unfortunately, care more about reputation than pageviews. My reply has been well-received, but I'd love for Mic
