   If it helps, an update mentioned an unaltered 2006 DVD release . . . Based on what I've read (and semi-relevant here) I see Lucas as a good founding entrepreneur-type who created an awesome world and then was at his best when he stepped asi

   Maybe both? How about breaking your large A, B, and C tasks down into much smaller ones (something I definitely need to do)? Then you can just work off your lists and check, check, check without a lot of mental thrashing about. This would a

   I think having other people to work with is your best leverage. With a group commitment you're working to support your team instead of a less tangible goal (it works for gangs, political parties and the military).

   What happened to "There are no stupid questions"? Why beat up on someone who asks a (seemingly) legitimate question?

   I don't really have any stake in this, but if you contrast the ethos of their 1984 commercial with some of the stuff happening now . . . [Written on my MBP while listening to my iPod.]

   Well now they'll do the credit check, play fill the cup, and the brain scan. On the plus side I have a new excuse for trips to Starbucks.

   You're not the only one. I appreciate the appearance from an aesthetic standpoint but it only takes 30 seconds or so for the "burn-in" effect to happen, and I start seeing horizontal stripes everywhere. When stuck working on Windows my cons

    If you don't already, how about switching users into a wizard-like mode immediately after signing up? Basically say something like "Let's help you add your first event," and give them short, simple steps.

    Uh, this was meant in the "Wow, totally cool!" sense and not the "We welcome our new overlords" sense.

    Definitely, and in fairness these are situations where there's a huge investment in MS technologies, with entire teams dedicated to supporting and maintaining the infrastructure. It isn't feasible to throw it all away without a serious comm

    A lot of developers and managers I work with don't seem to realize that what's best for Microsoft isn't necessarily what's best for another company. Instead they get stuck in a cycle of adopting whatever MS throws down the channel (this wee

    No design awards this year either. I always look to those guys for design inspiration to bring back to the web app world. At least Mac sites can (hopefully) transition to a more profitable area, along with Objective-C developers.

    Ouch. Sounds like they're being sued for making money. I looked at the complaint but not the underlying patents. Seems a little generic, huh?

    I guess there's a mix but I like their compilations. IMO regular viewing of large galleries of designs can only lead to improvement (even if it's "what not to do"), and they've done the assembly work for me.

    To be funny yet tasteful while targeting a mainstream audience I'd focus on the elephant in the room, and play with the idea that this is a taboo subject with a certain giggle factor. My imaginary commercial: A few young women, professional

    I don't have an answer but I know the feeling and hope you find a solution (I have to go back tomorrow). You might consider looking for something you can do online that doesn't require programming, such as e-commerce. Do you have something

    Agreed. Whatever server-side language you're using, you're likely using javascript too. I think CommonJS is the more important project to consider here.
