My daughter is four and has an insatiable appetite for learning. Whether we ever structure her learning into a curriculum is TBD. She already reads at a 8-10 yr old level, and asks me questions that force us to open up wikipedia on my iPh

Unrelated to the ad, but I must say I am so thrilled with Honda for taking hybrid out of the luxury trim / status category and bringing it down to something that you can do without the huge upfront cost. I got to see one of these Insight's

If you want structure, you can use a list of lists. Nothing wrong with repeating elements if you must. As it is (with a total lack of explanation), I have to guess why the articles are even chained together the way they are. This is part

Stormpulse.com received a few $k in donations in September '08 (during Gustav, Ike, and co). We slapped up a "Donate Now" PayPal button in the top-right-hand corner and it worked. The benefit of PayPal over others is the fact that PayPal

So if the 'Add Startup' button isn't responding should I just hit refresh over and over again? ;)

Give yourself a chance to have an original thought--dramatically reduce or eliminate TV, and at least temporarily cut out 90% of the music you listen to. You'd be surprised how stuck in a rut you are until you try it.

Could someone shed some light on the "domain authority" piece? Any clue as to how this is determined, speaking qualitatively or quantitatively? The part about 'links as votes' being less important explains why Stormpulse.com has a higher P

In those kinds of people it's not a la carte--you don't just get "resiliency, dedication, and tenacity" and not get "intense, willful, and independent." They go together. Unless companies start genetically breeding perfect employees ...

Don't get so hung up on his point about whether or not you should write a business plan that you miss the rest of his points, which are great. Among other things, that it's about execution and staying power, not the idea.

Are they still going to teach Scheme in any other course(s)? Why not teach both? I had the privilege of taking an SICP-based course at the U(C). The brain-stretching is critical, isn't it? Yes, there's a lot of head-slamming that goes in

Point taken; I see how our resource contraints make us an easier sale, but others may be more able to devote development time to this.

If this isn't your core business, it's not just about technical difficulty. It's also about time, maintenance, and ROI on the implementation. Are you saying that DIY is a clear win in terms of those costs as well?
