Light Table on Kickstarter
by
I spoke about code editors and highlighted Light Table earlier. Just saw that Light Table is on Kickstarter. If you think it’s the future of code editors, hope on board. I certainly think Light Table is cool, but I’m undecided about supporting it on Kickstarter.
Making Things More Useful
by
I’ve got a fairly small place and a kid and 4 kayaks and 4 bikes and a couple snowboards and lots of other outdoor gear. Right now this means that my office is in my bedroom. I did a pretty large upgrade to my office this year. This awesome furniture has me thinking about doing…
What is a Minimum Viable Product
by
The whole notion of a minimum viable product stems from the fact that you don’t want to work away on ‘the next big thing’ only to launch it and find out that you’re the only one that thinks it’s worth any money. But there is some danger in getting something bare bones out. Sometimes, though,…
Multitasking is a Farce
by
I don’t multitask, well not if I want to get anything of any real substance done with my time. If I want to waste time then I have Twitter and MailPlane and Linkinus open just to make sure that I can get distracted (wait ‘multitask) as often as possible. I’m still surprised how much of…
My MacVim Disclaimer
by
Since I often end up talking about my love of Vim keybindings in reference to any writing app, I figured I’d take the time to simply write it out once and link back in the future. I use Vim (well MacVim) to write code all day. The highlight of Vim for me, is the extensive…
Getting Customers for a New Product
by
I’ve mentioned before that I have a product in the works so I’m obviously interested in how to get customers for it. While there are a number of good tips in the article a few seem off base, or at least shady. Build a network of landing pages that target various other long tail keywords…
Get Out of Your Office
by
I mentioned in [recent post][pay] that I ride my bike as a way to clear my head and ‘pay myself’ each week. Really if your not taking the time off that you need each week then your doing your clients a disservice since you’ll never be able to apply your full brain power to the…
Don’t Hire the Lucky People
by
I must admit that I’m the unkept person that has some spelling mistakes in [this story][story] about finding the right staff to hire. > “Wait,” said Oscar, “but surely all things being equal, the person who takes the time to get the email right is better than the person who doesn’t?” As the character Ernestine…
Twitter as a Free Service
by
A recent comment on my post about staying away from services with no business models noted the irony that they found the link to the post via my Twitter account. Twitter if course is by an large a free service, but it’s not really a service that has no business model. Currently Twitter has the…
Looking at the Rules
by
While [the rules of cycling][rules] are meant to be a laugh for there is at least one that we should probably all follow, [rule #5][rule5] which reads. > Harden the Fuck Up! I know that I am totally guilty of complaining about things when I should just Harden Up. Twitter is particularly bad for that…
