I guess 15 years too late is better than never.
Nice work! Honestly the design is fantastic! I guess you are able to do this in your spare time if you are really good at managing your spare time eh?
Absolutely! If it means helping to define and grow the culture I can do my best work in. To work with people I admire and trust(and may even be around for the next thing).. that's better than most jobs anywhere and…
Moved to San Francisco and spent time with people smarter than myself.
Also, 35 an hour might be too low. Charging more makes a great first impression, and cheap clients are rarely worth it.
Yogo brings up a good point. You can get solid work via referrals, craigslist and e-whatever-lance by rolling a few wordpress themes and customizing wordpress sites. You may be underestimating the value of intermediate…
Diamons: "For flare, I'd make the body text such as username/password small like an 11px font." I am curious why you would say that?
This is really good advice!
I do, but that's because I am not a developer so a lot of the information on HN is novel and outside my usual knowledge base. That, and the designer digests available on the web are so dumbed down it's hard to stomach.…

I have been in similar situations with very distracted CEO's who just thought of everyones input as opinions, or content to digest. Big problem, but solvable if you get another engineer to help make cases with you and…
I agree with the Split test, but also while you are at it, run some landing page test. However, that means you have to have alternatives to test, so get the visual design stuff right and have a few versions to test with…
Here some advice from Ryan Freitas http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/5840343627/so-you-want-to... Here a couple of red flags to look out for. They are looking to be a billion dollar company. This is another way of…
This is just plain wrong. Before adobe released the "align to pixel grid" and the preview in pixels (since CS or before) there has always been any easy way to work on a pixel grid, and snap everything. If you dont know…
I'm sorry you received such praise for the design of these, you may have been mislead. But yes, it's its entirely possible to hack together a look-a-like design and people will like it, but that does not make it good…
