I feel for you ... the U.S. visa and immigration process sucks. My wife's parents were denied a visitor's visa to come to our wedding (from Taiwan). The system is broken, discriminatory, slow and unfair.

I've been using Tracker since they released a private beta right after Railsconf last June ... it is a truly excellent tool. Tracker codifies the Agile process (more or less following XP principles) way better than any other PM tool I've ev

As a native of the southeast U.S. getting ready to move to San Francisco, earthquakes terrify me -- I've never felt one before. Hearing about last night's 5.6 quake doesn't make me feel any better. I just discovered this emergency alert ser

I will be at both Atlanta Barcamp and Startup weekend in the next few weeks! I'm really looking forward to them. I also usually make it to the ATL Ruby Users group. It's a pretty good bunch.

I'm in Atlanta and I'm pretty smart ;) The problem is, that anybody bright and motivated enough to do a startup is already doing their own thing, and doesn't want to work for somebody else. carpal, do I know you?

This is really interesting and refreshing to see a change in the way that healthcare operates ... BUT, it seems like this guy is trying to bypass insurance companies completely. From the FAQ: ... I accept absolutely no health insurance at

I've used both Dreamhost and MediaTemple for hosting rails apps. I would recommend neither for anything serious. I still use Dreamhost to host some non-critical stuff and very low traffic site (like my blog that nobody reads), store backups

I was one of the lucky NetBank customers that suddenly found himself without a bank account this weekend. Thankfully, I'm not rich (yet) so the FDIC will ensure that I don't lose any money. Potentially very painful lesson learned: Yes, bank

I've been running a production app on Edge Rails (straight from SVN trunk) for about a month now and it's been all good. The new-ish REST routing enhancements are great once you get your head around it. I also like the ideas behind the per

I give it a 6/10 I guess. While I like the simple approach ... I am also missing a few basic bells and whistles. I'd love to see a search feature and/or a way to tag or categorize posts for later reference. Sometimes I think "oh, I remembe

Like anything, we have to be responsible about manufacturing processes and renewable raw materials. Biodiesel does not have to come from rainforest plants. Its unfortunate that some people decided to tarnish the reputation of an excellent a

I agree that hybrids are a sorry excuse for a "green" alternative. Aside from the fact that they currently cost more as Khosla points out -- just because a car or SUV is a hybrid, doesn't make it truly energy efficient. Auto makers are slap

Paul, thanks for the reply. I know that YC is not the end-all be-all, but I do think it would be a great way to increase our chance of success. I don't think my co-founder is lame at all. Actually he's a super smart guy, we have known each

Yep, I agree with your advice and I also read PG's recent article that you referenced. Totally agree. I have talked with the team, and we seem to all understand that this is not going the way we want. I have made it clear that I will be loo

I do not have complete ownership, no. Co-founder has an equal stake as currently, but we have a prearranged agreement where I will be entitled to more equity upon our first financing. I don't really want to throw them out ... they are good
