So....we're blind musicians sometimes playing a piano and sometimes typing on a keyboard. Wait, how can you see into my house? I'm doing that right now!

They probably just do it under a fake name.

It's great seeing VC's get involved on this level with their portfolio companies. I imagine it makes explaining when things go wrong easier.

I don't understand this logic. It seems like he took every avenue possible to attempt to pay for the music (much more than other people who don't know about grabbing a UK IP address) and he wound up unable to do so. Sure, I suppose he could

This is great, I can't wait to try it out. I love 960 Grid more than any other CSS framework, and now that there's a mobile release, I'm even more thrilled.

This is awesome. I sell code (non-exclusively) on Codecanyon so they take 75%. Only taking 30% is huge for me.

Oh, quit using the site, not quit working there. I would've been more interested in the latter.

If we're being pedantic, they use magazines, not clips :)

It also has to do with how much money you give them. I sell firearm accessories. When I launched my site, I put about $300 in my AdWords account and started to advertise for magazines, scopes, handguards, etc. My ads were pulled rather quic

At a company that was once a startup, is now highly profitable, but venture backed. And my side businesses, all of which are profitable because they're bootstrapped.

I'm not so sure Sendgrid, Postmark, and other email senders should be shaking in their boots. There's plenty of other businesses that leverage AWS technology and resell it for a higher price. I bet they add AWS as an option as a value added

Yup, I wake at 330 every morning and have a good 3 hours to hack on a side project before work.

Wow, I've never seen a comment so adverse to exercise. It's been scientifically proven that exercise is good for mental health in addition to physical health. There's no way you can be serious.

I think it's ironic 37Signals is listed under the Best Enterprise category.

Looks good, but why have the Demo button on the homepage if there's no actual demo? Also, how much does it cost?

I like it. How long until it's implemented using CSS3?

Are you bootstrapping this entirely (i.e., have quit your normal job and working solely on this?) or are you working at a regular job and working on this on the side?

If anyone is still following this thread, I changed the layout of the site, made an overview page, and lowered the price to $79. If you're interested in a free copy of the software, email me vmc@leftnode.com.

Because Kwolla existed as an actual site before ( http://www.prospectvista.com ) that didn't go anywhere, we had discussed open sourcing it. One of my main goals for 2011 was to have a commercial product, and this (and the shopping cart run

Wow, thanks for all of the feedback! Yes, the logo on the payment page intentionally doesn't link back. It's an anti-pattern, and I'm playing around with if it actually will work or not. I'll be working on the copy extensively this weekend,

It's not a huge selling point, but Kwolla also gives users some basic statistics and analytics on their profile. It also handles conversion of video itself without having to first upload it to Youtube. Elgg would be the PHP version, it's fr

While it's not everyone's cup of tea, dark comedy is a very popular form of comedy, and a way that a lot of people deal with tragedy.

Yup, I've done this as well at current and past jobs. I'll usually just invent a new project, it gets the boss's attention and they like it, so I get to work on that rather than the normal boring stuff. It's great to invent your own project

Yeah it's too much for public school, but you could always use the extra after you graduate as a down payment on a house, money to start a company, or a future retirement fund. If the money isn't being used for anything, saving $8k a year p

Are you saying $8k is too little or too much? 18 years of saving $8k a year without any interest is $144,000 which is more than enough to send a kid to a good college.

Why not just buy a nice theme on http://themeforest.net or any of the other template websites and modify it slightly?

Exactly. And speaking as a developer, I've not once had a positive experience with a recruiter. Not a single time.
