Thanks ig1. We're located in Vancouver BC. Unfortunately, neither of us are particularly schmoozy and generally don't have a lot of time on our hands. VCs and similar don't tend to visit the conferences here anyway, and we're quite a ways p

To be fair to John Hammond, I'm not sure creating a (albeit massive) social networking service is in the same league as reverse engineering 65+ million year old, fragmented DNA strands, then bringing the dinosaurs not only to term, but hea

This seems like a very cynical article. On the behalf of everyone in Canada, the UK, and Australia, it's very common for people to reciprocate this sort of courtesy and genuinely mean it. In fact, I'd go as far to say that most people would

Would love to get some insight into how and where you did this, local news isolation has been a real pain-point for me. Brilliant project, by the way - very clean.

Simple answer - the vast majority programmers rarely see more than rudimentary math on most projects, unless those projects are specifically math orientated (actual sciences, for example). The rest of us working on our sites, platforms, app

That'd be a lot easier if we had more than one developer (me) :) There's a wealth of information here: http://picostormlabs.tumblr.com/post/11977896983/for-the-las... and the UI was recently featured on YankoDesign and you can see here:
