The Barnes and Noble in Clear Lake, TX (near NASA) had a 30'x8' wall of programming and sysadmin books, and 3x that when you take in general computing, math, and science. I loved it. "Corporate" had them rearrange the store a bit, and the s

I keep a Moleskine journal in my rear jeans pocket. It's small, and contours to the curve after a day or two so you don't even notice it's there. I keep it with me like I keep my keys and wallet, without exception. I write on it on a semi-r

the author has some points, but he does not mention something obvious to the reader: He was always at the mercy of Twitter. It was his fortune that the cap was increased at his whim, and only now have they stopped it, for whatever reason. T

These are interesting ideas. I'd like to hear from any founders who have used any of these methods, and to what extent they were beneficial in gauging the eventual level of success of an idea.

This man offering the scholarship to 'stop-outs' won't instantly make the university system collapse. If I had a great idea and an investor was $100k confident in the monetization of it, I would probably drop out, too. The author's whole p
