I did this back in the 90s, when we had to actually know HTML to make a website valentine. You kids have it so easy today ;)

I followed that exact progression, except that I'm using Pelican to create the static site today.

And yet, some things are eerily familiar. In 1999 online life was dominated for non-geeks by AOL. In 2014 replace AOL with Facebook and the dynamic is pretty much the same. The difference is that AOL had to spend a fortune to produce or acq

I delete all email after 90 days, unless I explicitly moved it to an archive folder. I've never event thought about saving IMs, texts, Twitter, etc. Civilization has survived a very long time without a written record of every conversat

40,000 leads is about 38,000 too many. The first thing you need to decide is who are your tier I target customers, and prune the list appropriately. If you product / service is good and solves a real problem for a properly targeted cli

Only seven interviews? You got off easy. I had 10, for a freaking sales job. 3 on the phone (one each with HR, sales, and a sales engineer), then they flew me across the country for a day of interviews - 7 back to back to back... The thing

He's 25. His life isn't even 1/3rd done. It's pretty rare to even know what you want to do at that age, let alone have actually accomplished it. What your friend needs is some perspective on just how great he is doing. H

I remember my parents dropping me at the neighbors when they went to hospital to give birth to my brother. I was a month shy of 3. Then I have nothing until I'm about 5.

Adam Savage replied to one of tweets a few months ago. That was my 1 minute of Twitter fame. Based on the numbers in the article I'm in the top 10%. Yay me. Actually, that is kind of sad. I post to Twitter most days, maybe 1 to 3 thing

One thing I've learned from my Type 1 wife is to never get excited about this sort of stuff. Her father was a Lilly executive and they tried to get her to use the insulin nose spray back in the 80s. She passed, and a few years later it

That is pretty much exactly how I log into sites that I use rarely. I have strong, memorized passwords for the handful of sites I log into frequently. For the rest, I create a good password the first time and don't bother recording it.

An unschooling purist would argue that curiosity and a desire to learn are the natural state for kids, and that we squeeze that curiosity out of them in the school system. So take away school and leave the kids alone and they ultimately ret

I'm Director of Sales for an open source consulting company (EU based with a small staff here in the US) so I do this a lot. It really is a crap shoot. I get a quick response of some sort about 3/10 contacts. However I don't

I just wrote my first proposal in Docs today, as an experiment to see if we can stop emailing Word documents back and forth. Google Docs is missing some very basic features, like page numbers in the table of contents, and the ability to hi

IMO, the only stuff that everybody needs to know is how to read, how to write (or more generally communicate) and math up through about Algebra I or Geometry. After that, everything else is an elective. Simply structuring the schools to mak

Fark does that. If they detect an ad blocker you get a little message at the top of the page asking you to allow ads to support the site. Their ads don't get in the way so I did it.

Hating funnels seems sort of weird to me. Especially in this case, where it's just a model of an idea. There is nothing inherently evil about the concept of a funnel. He even makes that point when he turns it upside down and claims it

A friend tried something like this a few years ago. He built a resume site where recruiters had to pay to contract you about a job. If you didn't respond in 24 hours they got a full refund. If you responded (even if the answer was, not

As the parent of a sophomore history major, this is something that I think about a lot. However, my son has a deep, deep passion for history. Advising him to get a CS degree just for job purposes seemed stupid, and considering how much help
