   True. Its a balance. I skipped school to build the best startup I could build. Doesn't mean I skipped an eduction. "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education." M.T.

   I like this perspective. I'm going with "founder" for my first tech startup. Rather "Humility" than "Unemployed". Thanks, Zach. You must be very successful! =]

    No, I don't think so. Why? A client simply doesn't make me money. Would you pay for an email client?

    As a web developer, I used the [Project Fork Plugin] for the Joomla CMS. You can even get mobile phone friendly templates for access when out of the office. Works great if you have your own server space and a sub domain. Looking for a local

    I'm with execution over ideas. Shutting up and hacking it before talking is a great point but isn't this simply mind over matter?
