Thanks! Our primary value prop is end to end management of the back office for running these events. We run close to 200 events/year and have been dogfooding it internally for the past year with our team and it's solved a number of critical issues for us. The bonus is the vendor discovery piece - we currently have a network in NJ/NY/PA of close to 10K vendors (farmers, makers, food purveyors) who work with us so it was an easy way to seed 50% of the marketplace with customers.
I agree - A family plan would be a no-brainer - my kids love playing with the free tier on ChatGPT but always seem to hit their daily rate limit right in the middle of doing something important.
Check out the Bigger Pockets Real Estate Podcast- imho- it’s one of the best produced podcasts out there and worth listening to even if you have minimal interest in real estate investing.
They are also publishers and their books are great primers depending on where in RE you’re looking learn.
1) I did preface that this is a loose framework that I run with and it's not set in stone - if I need more sleep on a particular day, I take it.
2) While all human bodies vary with their sleep needs, I find that I function best between 6 and 7 hours per night. While I can run on less at times, I do need to catch up. I find myself less focused when I start approaching the 8 hour mark.
Definitely check out Hubud in Ubud, Bali. I'm out here for 9 weeks teaching a Rails bootcamp and they have the whole work/lifestyle thing figured out... http://hubud.org
It's not really a side project but I spent today rebuilding the website for our asbury park, nj based coworking space - http://cowerks.com - would love some feedback/copy editing.
I bought the Macbook Pro retina back over the summer and was a little upset when a small dead pixel cluster appeared on the display after about a month of use.
I brought it back to the apple store (i did not purchase applecare). I was told that this was happening in about 1 our of every 40 MBP retinas and they happily replaced the display in less than 24 hours.
I'm not implying that my situation is "unique/new/ particularly note-worthy" but it is just as antidotal as yours and ended with a positive outcome.
Asbury Agile is a 1 day, 1 track web and technology conference coming to Asbury Park, NJ this fall. The conference is aimed at the builders and doers in the web community and will be held at the Watermark Lounge on the amazing Asbury Park boardwalk during the week of October 17th, 2011.
Asbury Agile’s focus will be to...
Contribute to the growth of a tech community at the Jersey Shore.
Promote “best practices” in application design, development, & marketing.
Showcase local “doers” and “makers” in the community (NJ, NYC, Philadelphia).
Each talk will revolve around a separate topic falling into the following categories:
We are currently looking for speakers, sponsors, and participants; to get involved, head over to http://asburyagile.com and register with our mailing list.
I completely agree. It's painful to develop in and painful to use from a client perspective. I used it for some client projects a few years back and ended up just migrating them to spree after getting tired of client calls every time they attempted to update a product listing.

I just tried the following route - EWR->DES->SFO on 6/10 and returning on 6/18 via the same route back. The price each way was ~$420 (which included 2 layovers).
I priced out EWR->SFO and United/Continental had a direct flight for $369. Maybe I'm the aberration but I think NYT should have done a few more case studies before publishing their results.
I'm confused by the statement that "only one company came out of rails rumble". I freelance for a startup that has a profitable SaaS app that was born at rails rumble 2007.
I was wondering what happened to these guys - I was watching a YouTube video this weekend of PG speaking at a conference circa 2008 and he spend a good deal of time talking about Octopart and their business model...
