Since my readership has never been very high, and I’m more likely to meet somebody cool at a meetup or DevHouse, I never considered posting a job position on my blog. But since I’m really overworked and I have been for a while, I figure I’ll give it a shot and at least put it […]
What if you made a web service over the weekend that would allow you to quit your job and work for yourself fulltime?
It’s been done before, and like everybody’s saying, it’s only getting easier. Nothing sounds more attractive than an automated web service that just rolls in the dough, effectively being a “money printing machine.” […]
In 2002 I wrote an article just to get into the Game Developers Conference that was published in a little online newsletter called Digital Times. Today I got a request from the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India to reprint that article in an “Executive Reference Book” tentatively titled Online Gaming Industry. The ICFAI […]
Caterina of Flickr founding fame, plays devil’s advocate on the idea that now is a great time to start a company. This is the first time I’ve heard somebody take a stance like this, so I’m glad it’s been done. With these things said, I will now start a company.

Today I bought a lifetime supply of hosting from TextDrive. Yep. For a good number of months, I’ve been praising them as the best shared hosting service for developers and elite techies alike, but only today have I put my money where my mouth is. Cool beans, eh? Now allow me to indulge in writing […]
On a lighter note, a couple weeks ago somebody leaked Google’s Master Plan. Transcendence is in there, along with robots that make other robots, and completely remaking the Babylon 5 series.
Today I’ve been doing a lot of reading. The majority of which has been off of Paul Graham’s website. I think I first came across his site last year reading an essay he wrote called A Plan for Spam. Since then, I’ve stumbled upon links to other essays he’s written, but never took much time […]
I think Linux is great. It’s done a lot for open-source and the hacker community. It’s become very popular for ISPs to use as well. However, for all practical uses, especially business uses, I choose BSD over Linux.
I wish I could say I’m not trying to push my preference in server OSes, but I am. […]
