Nope. I'm Scott. It's public knowledge. We were separated for eight months as a result of the affair. Everyone who knows us knows the reason for the separation.

Life: forgiving my wife after she had an affair. It was hard, but a single mistake doesn't negate the fact that she is a great mom, we are good together and our son deserves a shot at having his dad in the house. Programming: learning by do

"The service is free for 5 invoices a month. If you plan to send more, please let us know what amount you would like to pay every month." Excellent way to figure out how much to charge.

I agree, not with every point, but with your conclusion. My company (PicDigest) is betting on a paid web-first model and planning a mobile app as a companion, even in the crowded space of photo sharing where incumbents supposedly have the m

I like this. Simple and single-purpose. I hope it makes a lot of money for Christmas/Hanukkah for you! :) I launched PicDigest a few weeks ago. I'm curious about which photo lab you use as I'm planning to add photo printing in the future. W

If it's just logo and branding, you can do it cheap at 99designs or do it expensive by hiring a single person with a reputation. If you're going to hire a design employee, that's an entirely different discussion with lots and lots of variab

No questions. No video views. Rejected. I applied as a solo founder, so I'm really not surprised. In other news, I'm considering bringing on a technical cofounder that can take over with what I've built with my very minimal Ruby knowledge w

I think he's just being nice and using "we didn't get into YC" as a chance to show some love.

I'm not a lawyer so I'll save the advice-giving for someone else, but that shows incredible insecurity on the part of the other company.

Usability suggestion: Don't force me to create an account BEFORE I receive any value from your app. Creating an account is a pain. It's not clear why I need an account. It most definitely benefits you, even if you think it's better for me i

Still investing huge sums in niche deals sites? Maybe their financials are MUCH better than Groupon and others.

I'm assuming both the caller and receiver need the app installed? If so, that's tough, but not undoable. If you want people to actually download it, you really should invest a few hundred dollars on 99Designs and get a decent app icon.

I'm considering taking on a technical co-founder for my company, PicDigest. I've gotten it this far, but for it to become than it is I need someone to take the majority of the technical burden off myself (since I only started learning RoR i

Agree on the idea. Pads and colored pencils that allow for more intricate interactions when recognized by the app.

Not sure what to expect, really. Checking email, checking HN, and keeping my phone charged. :)

Hell ya. Haha

Haha, yep. My signal is low in my house and I'm working from the "phone booth" (the room with the best cell signal) just in case.

Midterms. Ouch, sorry to hear that. I hope you get that interview...and pass your tests!

No. Your elevator pitch should start with the simplest explanation of the value your product provides, THEN explain how it delivers that value. For example, "Golearn is Yelp for higher education. It helps students find the perfect school by
