No one cares what YOU want, we care about creating something useful, be it for ourselves or for a larger group of people. Further, utility can, in fact, be derived from "wow" apps. You wouldn't understand because, as you've said, you're not

I highly recommend NOT reading the W3C spec to start out if you actually want to get anywhere. Just dive in and start coding, CSS isn't really all that hard. I found it really useful/fun to just copy another site (e.g. Facebook or Digg) t

My favorite hack was achieving the drop-down functionality seen in menus like those on Digg and Facebook in about 5 lines of jQuery. It was particularly satisfying because the jQuery plugin to emulate the effect is more than a couple hundre

We were going to build a web service to make the college application process easier for students, but don't really have the time right now. If you like the idea, check out sites like prstats.com or mychances.net (very poorly implemented, b

I wonder how the Loopt guys are feeling about this. It just occured to me that in the corporate world, employees have to worry about losing their jobs. Conversely, in the startup world, founders have to worry about losing their employees (e

If it's something people truly want, they'll be willing to pay for it. I could see parents shelling out $5-$10/month so their kids have virgin eyes and ears for an extra half-decade...
