Going solo can be tough, especially if you struggle with time management and prioritization. Being sidetracked is a common problem because things often appear to be very important or urgent simply because there's nobody else around to hand

Very interesting article, and indeed, a meta experiment in itself in the context of it being a New Yorker piece (traditionally long form) in the today's popular "gotta-have-it-this-instant gist" CNN blurb format. Mischel's focus on context

This reminds me of the demise of the brick and mortar chain Egghead Software, which was coincidentally adjacent to the Blockbuster in the town where I grew up. I realize it's not exactly the same because it's not like broadband/streaming/N

"The first rule about [WePay] is you don't talk about [WePay]." <sucker punch> Take that. In Rich's blog, he has the fight part right. You have to fight for what you want and what you believe in. True entrepreneurs know this, beca

A tech start-up that would encourage a balanced lifestyle and create more digital downtime? It does sound paradoxical.. however, I am currently developing a start-up right now that will literally move (physically and emotionally) you offli

I recently stated this in another comment regarding payment systems.. I wouldn't rely on just one. A merchant account through a bank CAN get suspended or put on hold if you trip any risk ratios (e.g. inquiries, chargebacks, refunds). So,

Oh, nostalgia. I started coding out of curiosity back when I was in 4th grade (back in 1983). It was a helluva lot less main stream than it is today, so some of the things that I wanted to code back then mostly had to do with whatever I was

I love the idea of meditating, which often comes to me when I'm experience outrageous levels of stress. It's like a pre-meditation.. just the THOUGHT of actually taking some super isolated quiet time, on the ground, in a sitting yoga pose

I recommend getting yourself setup with multiple methods of payment, including Google Checkout, PayPal, as well as your own merchant account. Having a single point of payment failure (e.g. your only payment account gets frozen or shut down

Congratulations on your idea. First, head to: http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/index.jsp The patent process can be grueling, but don't be discouraged. Even if you think you've found a prior art, don't be discouraged. Improvements upon

I predict that it's only a matter of (short) time before one or more of the larger airfare search engines start to clone the output visualization. I understood it the first moment I looked at it.. just made sense, really. Great job, Hipmun

I agree that popping pills isn't always the best answer; however, if the anxiety is dysfunctional and causing problems (possibly far beyond the scope of a job interview), it may be worth consulting a therapist and psychiatrist.

1. Practice interview with others. Even if they don't know what the hell you're talking about, rehearsing in front of live person will help you become more comfortable. 2. Xanax, or some other anti-anxiety med.

Checking in, in terms of social interactions, is like a deconstructed form of interacting. I've been thinking about how we've deconstructed personal interactions, and how we've arrived at these one-button-click/automated communiques: Meeti

While I'm no 4sq/gowalla fanboy, to say that Facebook pwns all location based checkins, and "that's a wrap" is a bit premature. Facebook also hosts photos and has made it incredibly easy to upload them, tag them, and share them. However, i

But you can validate and curate the uploads. In fact, that can be part of your community/crowd-source model, too. If someone else within your community comes along and rates/tags/categorizes the photograph, he can make a little slice of the

Tap into the amateur photographer with cameras on their mobile phones. Convince her that she can simply point her phone at things around the world, snap a shot that's auto-uploaded to your service, and she can make cash. You and your team h

But we all know there's an upper limit.. IQ hits 140 at 2:30am bedtime, and flips to -140 at 3:00am. I'm heading down that slippery slope right about now.

The ability to sort by "Agony" is damn funny. I have to say their visual representation of all of the flights available from takeoff to touchdown, while being entirely unique (looks like a Gantt chart), is incredibly intuitive.

Rolling Stone article on Jake Applebaum, hacker (in every sense of the word), founder of Noisebridge hackerspace in San Francisco, and WikiLeaks contributor. Very nice, interesting, funny and intelligent fellow. @ioerror on Twitter.
