A .net contractor turned startup chaser.
Actively involved on buidling a new service that allows people to search blogging themes via visual search methods.

The fact that this useful and educational tool exists simply highlights the fact that the Venture Capitalism model of today has become so ultra-saturated, that it almost comically suggests anyone on the street…
This is likely an unpopular opinion, but Venture Capital needs to disappear and be replaced with a far better model. While VC served its purpose well back in the heydays of FAANG and modern groundbreaking companies, in…
You meant Felix Dennis, but to your original point, "How to get Rich" (and its follow up "The Narrow Road") drive home the same point. Maintain full control at all times. That includes term sheets with clauses that they…
There is no doubting the legacy of Objective-C (especially given the high likelihood you are reading this post on a mobile device, using app written in Objective-C), but to truly appreciate Brad's legacy, am curious…
Shameless plug: I didn't invent peanut butter, but did invent the first half-calorie peanut butter. www.ownyourhunger.com AMA.
Successful crowdfunding campaigns require substantial marketing efforts outside the crowdfunding platform, such as email lists, a community or customer base familiar with the brand/product/team, social media ads, etc.…
The Chips Helmet Audio has lasted me over 8 seasons and going strong. I don't maintain the batteries (I believe they should be stored with a 75% charge during off season) and still get enoigh charge for 2 full days of…
For a paid app, the lack of basic core features (i.e. to simply view comments) indicates a lot of work needs to be done. The existing free readers out there are a bit more capable. I ended up buying it since I'm still…
May just be a load balancing issue; as @beecr001 mentioned, if you reload the page continuously you can access the site and all chapters.
Thanks and you're correct, I was thinking how deflationary bitcoin was while writing. Fixed.
I have one new appreciation for fiat currencies - they're designed to circulate with a steady rate of inflation. It seems there's a hesitation of spending bitcoins knowing if you just wait a day it will go up, so it's…
I'm a person who stammers (probably 7/10 on the severity scale) and make as much or more than my top peers. I'm also a contractor, go through and pass more interviews per year than the average full time developer,…
Allow me to clarify; there were no commits to source control on the very project we were working on. That was proof to us that no work was being done, unless there's one massive pending check-in waiting to happen, which…
Case study: At my last employer, we had a two remote workers and a project manager. Our entire team knew they were doing very little work, especially knowing one of the remote employees was maintaining a household with…
In other words, redirect each credit card transaction to your bitcoin wallet?
* Windows desktop will still thrive on Enterprise and BigCo's, as politics and bureaucracy will ensure data will not live in the cloud * Return of the dumb terminal: The home desktop will die out in favor of tablets…
At $3000/day 'revenue', can anyone chime in for the cost of electricity to run that rig assuming $0.10/kWh, not factoring in the initial investment of the hardware?
Adobe's official PR stance on this is somewhat confusing; are they releasing license keys to allow for an easier 'try before you buy', with the understanding on the honour system that you'll purchase a license (almost a…
It may be time we start introducing reverse traffic cameras. Ones that issue fines for not following a minimum speed in peak commute hours for the vehicle that is unquestionably the first in a pack responsible for the…
You don't even have to use LINQ at all with C#, it's an extension library and not one that needs to be referenced or is even included as a default namespace. LINQ is very convenient to use on in memory objects where…
I practice (though uncomfortably) I am able to extend at least two fingers, enough to enter a 4 digit code and turn the knob. Unlocking vie the phone with two grocery bags is not so easy.
It's powered by 4x AA batteries, claimed to be good for a year. If that's true it's unbelievably efficient considering the hardware store models also run on 4x AA batteries but don't have a Wi-Fi + Bluetooth radio…
Playing devil's advocate here, but what is the hype surrounding this lock? I bought two 'aesthetic enough' keypad code locks from Home Depot and it' been serving me well since. It doesn't require my phone or launching…
Photos required a very long exposure back then and a smile is hard to keep for what amounted to minutes. Keeping a neutral expression minimized movement and consequently blur resulting in an expensive re-shoot.…
