It's not online, but I've been told "The Back of the Napkin: : Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures" is a good book for that kind of thing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591843065/

I went through a search for quality headphones that can also work for Skype calls a while back. I ended up going with what is marketed as a gaming headset. While I'm not a gamer, I've found the SteelSeries Siberia V2 to be pretty great. The

Sounds good. She sent a beta inquiry about getting her school on board with it. I think the school/district-wide system is going to be your best bet. As I'm sure you're aware, teachers don't exactly bring home the bank. So personally droppi

Sorry for the slow reply, but, that in itself doesn't connect it to an SMS number. That's just so she can contact a class as a whole, rather than individually. The SMS connection lies in that every mobile number has an email address associa

My wife is a middle school teacher and created a system similar to this using a Gmail account. She creates groups for each class, then emails to their SMS address (phonenumber@att.net or similar). This looks so much nicer than jacking aroun

I'll throw in a recommendation for PayLeap ( http://www.payleap.com ) as a combo gateway/merchant account. As for the the delayed billing, something like OpenGateway ( http://opengateway.net ) might work. It is set up for subscription payme

Develop an alternative to TicketMaster that you can white label to MLB, NFL, etc. They could be making millions of extra dollars a year if they had their own system. Why not create the system for them and skim a portion off the top. [I'm a

It looks nice, but I agree with wbond. Not only should the p tags be labels, but the divs could be fieldsets to make it more semantic.

I completely agree. I implemented this on a site a few months ago, but ended up removing it because while it did in fact add a cool factor, it hindered readability (shocking coming from a designer, I know). That being said, I'm sure there a

I'll second Inc. and Fast Company. Both have great content. For an outside the tech mag, I'm a huge fan of GOOD ( http://good.is ). Lots of smart thinking and and in-depth explorations of the theme for each issue.

I've gone through testing with a handful of these JS to Obj-C conversion systems and haven't found one that does a really good job of emulating a native app. Appcelerator seems to be the best option out there, but you write very Appcelerato
