I drive a 2009 Subaru Impreza Outback. We bought it used recently right before our first kid was born. It's a solid car with plenty of power but nothing all that fancy. The reasons we went with a Subaru, besides it being well priced, w

I'm not really talking about just handing out the code... although I suppose it could just be open sourced. That being said, I'm not opposed to the company being taken in a different direction.

Of course, I realize that by telling people to contact me on about.me there is very little chance that a discussion will happen on Hacker News and this post will probably end up buried. :|

The intent of the post is to start a conversation and to have people take another look at YUI. After using jQuery for years in both small and large projects, I took another look at YUI when 3.4 was released and I've really been impressed. I

A student from Georgia Tech did a fantastic job with one of these last month as well. He called it CodeBook: http://danielchasehooper.github.com/CodeBook/ You guys might want to think about working on it together. His version includes the

Thanks. It was a bit helpful. I'm mostly curious what other people do because it feels like something that has been done over and over again.

From an execution standpoint, I fully agree with you. That's what I did when we first found out that the domain had been registered and saw the site he had put up. I collected information and then left it alone to focus on our March 1st lau

Agreed about Lawyers. I am happy to spend money on them as necessary for the right things, but this seems like something that could be very lengthly if not approached the right way... and one thing I know about hiring lawyers is that long p

Yeah, I like this route a fair bit. I'd like to think that I'm not the only one who gets frustrated by people who would do this type of thing. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. :) My hesitation on something like this (and also the reason I d

Yeah, just contacting him and asking him what's up was my first reaction. I want to make sure that's not a bad idea or that I don't say something that could complicate things in the future.

According to the lawyer that I spoke with, I think I'm ok from a legal stance because you're not actually buying a chance to win 10k. You're buying a product (advertising on TweetFolk.com), and I'm simply selecting an idea from the pool of

Thanks for the suggestion and support. :) A friend of mine actually bought some pixels off of the MDHP back in the day. Apparently the guy who started it even sold all of the customer details to outside advertisers for money. My friend rece

Thanks for the feedback Rubyred. Personally, I think the idea is relatively juvenile but I never intended for the headline to sound spammy. I'm just excited. As for the "Awesome. I love the internet" portion, I'm not sure I can change that

The 8 large squares along the top row are now $100 each, and I had originally started everything out at $10 and $50 until people told me it was way too cheap. So, the math worked out something like this: (15 * 10 + 2 * 50) + (26 * 15 + 3 *

Thanks for the feedback jayzee. I didn't post this to drive traffic to the site, although I am aware that it would be a side effect. The only reason I included the URL is so that the first comments wouldn't all be "what was the site?" Lame
