I got the same astonishment from my friends when I told them I was leaving NYC. "Why would you leave New York?" "Is there anything in Wisconsin?" One even told me if I wasn't happy in NYC, I should seek therapy, because there was clearly so

Wisconsin. Land of brats, cheese and good canoeing.

You're right. Funnily enough, Prospect Park was where I realized I didn't like it there. I was enjoying a good run in the park with my roommate and telling her how great it was. Then I realized the only reason I was happy was that the park

This is great, I left NYC for many of the same reasons the OP cites as wanting to move there. Really, I should write a post on "Why I'm choosing the Midwest" NYC has so many women. Beautiful women. But if you're looking to have kids, settle

I don't need any help today, I just wanted to say you're awesome for offering your help.

We've been going for about four months now. We have put in about $2250 and expect to put that same amount in again before we start collecting revenue. The plan is to be self sustaining immediately after we collect revenue, but we'll see how

I've learned to just let my phases happen. I'll go weeks with amazing productivity and then just hit a wall and all I want to do is game or read. So as much as possible I try and get it out of my system. I find that trying to force myself t

Congrats guys! And way to represent Wisconsin!

I think you can pursue those two goals, its just the copy that needs a little work. A user coming to your page is going to know which bucket they fit into (pro or newbie). If a pro user comes and sees "learn how to sign up for Twitter" then

Oh, I'm not the OP. Just commenting that Apple already puts it on your device through iCloud, so half the problem has been solved.

Judging from what people are saying here, I guess we're lucky. The open source code we're using to publish our iPad magazine is run by AWESOME people who have a lot of passion for their work. They're clear about what the road-map is and let

Apple links usually open up in a webpage, and then open iTunes, which can be annoying if it takes a while to load.On the other hand, once you do it iCloud syncs it to your phone/iPad, so there is no problem there.

I agree, although it seems there is a weird mix of copy appealing to beginners and then a bit of copy geared towards power users. Its a bit of a disconnect.

Agreed. Another consideration is that many newspapers suffer from an outdated ownership structure. I'm not sure about Gannet, but I know some of the others, like Tribune before 2007 and NYT had a problem. They were started by famous busines

Companies are unwilling to do it because sometimes it means jettisoning people, which is hard to do. Its difficult seeing people who have been with you for 30 years become obsolete, and you have to tell them, "sorry, but you're no use to us

I think you can see ships in the background of the video, presumably for recovery. So maybe they know pretty close to where they land, close enough that they don't have to worry about hitting the ships. That's impressive.

But there wasn't a big decrease when the chutes deployed. It took a while. I found that odd. I expected an immediate decrease in speed the second the chutes deployed. Maybe the counter wasn't synched with the video?

I wasn't forgetting, just under estimating it. I expected the terminal velocity to be higher.

by tstegart 15y ago
Ahh, got it. I expected more of a speedup as they dropped the last mile or so. I guess they didn't slowdown very fast right away because there wasn't much air up in the upper atmosphere.

by tstegart 15y ago
I'm surprised they landed so close together. amazing. Also, can anyone tell me why they are slowing down as they fall towards earth (before the parachutes deploy)? Shouldn't they be speeding up by 9.8m/s as they fall?

I think you need to learn leadership. You need to learn how to lead. First yourself, and then others. If you haven't done anything on the application, and you want to apply, then start doing them. Lead yourself down the path that will make

It doesn't. And remember, you can always go back and finish. Maybe not at the same place, but you can finish somewhere. I would suggest ending the semester though, not dropping out in the middle. You get credit for the current semester this

Wow, NY has a minimum tax? That's crazy. I'm also glad I live in WI, our fee is about $180.

Ha, love it :) mohene1, try searching LinkedIn for people who work at LinkedIn. If you want, you can even look up the co-founder, Reid Hoffman. Maybe he answers emails :)

I would go straight to the newspaper companies. Especially the small ones. In fact anyone in the publishing business will want your app. Consider magazines and blogs that are really magazines (an example would be Smashing Magazine) Put toge

by tstegart 15y ago
It sounds like the OP is more of a "white label" provider than someone selling his own app. He wants other companies to use his app software to create their own apps and sell them.

The pros to not incorporating are to save money and hassle. Especially if you're bootstrapping an idea you're not sure of and you don't have a lot of cash. If you have no income or don't expect to have income for a while and your liability

It would be better but selling is scary and requires asking something of real people. Its not the easiest thing to do so I think people shy away from it.

We're up in Milwaukee if you ever make it that far north. As for recommendations, I'd check out the Frontera Grill. Its the restaurant for Rick Bayless, the PBS cooking show dude and the food is great. The sit down area is expensive but the
