Did you see "Why are restaurant websites so horrifically bad?" http://www.slate.com/id/2301228/ . I wonder if this is a market that actually wants nice single-page websites.

Small group rates aren't that different than the rates you can get through a professional group, though both are much lower than purchasing insurance as an individual. This site lists some small group rates for groups of 2-50: http://www.n

Sounds like you already have good insurance. Here in NY the most minimal insurance starts at around twice you're paying and goes up from there. You can see the prices of freelancer insurance from MediaBistro here: http://www.mediabistro.c

That's a big reason why I cut back on going to tech meetups and events. It's the same people at each event, people whose main skill is getting publicity for themselves and going to parties, rather than having any technical, creative, or bu

Agreed - there are loads of former banker types, or rich wives of financiers, who decide starting a startup is cool, and go try to hire an engineer for 2% equity and treat them poorly. Their "startups" are often some kind of online magazine
