I remember when LIFX launched on KickStarter last year, there was a storm of comment on HN, basically saying that it was a scam and shouldn't be allowed anymore. It did seem to kick off changes to KickStarter's policies which wer

Full disclosure, Karina is my wife talking about my (ex) start-up, Trunk.ly. Yes, I quit my job (Director at PwC) and took the family on quite a ride, including uprooting them from family and friends to move to the Valley. I've been incredi

I love these posts by Matt - big data exploration and statistics for nothing more than the joy of it. Great stuff! In this one Matt explores terms that frequently occur together like "Darth Vader".
