My brother who has a yahoo email account suffered from this. He sent out a weird URL to his whole address book earlier today.

My girlfriend is a hairdresser, I'll run this by her and give you more feedback.

In the mean time this is what pops into my mind:

* What about the people who don't care to go to anyone else other then their regular barber?

* Do you think they're will be push back since you are creating more work for the barber who has a pretty simple process. (cut hair, small talk, sweep hair)

* Also, a lot of places do cash only and you are going to create a paper trail of money, where some might not want it. (Shocker: Some people don't report all of their earnings.)

Is there a reason why you are not including the other 50% of the population (women). I would think salons would be more interested in this service than barbershops.

Since my girlfriend works in this industry I too have tried to think of ways to solve some of these problems for her. My idea was to create a simple scheduling/ calendar web app that is mobile friendly. The Barber/Hair Dresser can use their smartphone to scheduled appointments. If the barber makes their schedule public, on the salon/barber shop website clients can go and see what particular days and times are open. The client can then submit a request for certain day/time and the barber is notified(maybe email, or sms - twilio). The barber/ hair dresser can then approve the date and the client is notified.

Once you are comfortable doing this routine I would highly recommend the Insanity Workout.

I do. I always wondered if others did this as well. I also wonder if that is OK to do... probably not.

According to Titor though what ever he did in our time would not directly affect his time. He traveled through time to a parallel universe(our universe) where things are pretty similar to his time with some differences.

According to him the farther back or forward in time he goes the more things change.

So, with that said, we might still be screwed. But maybe we can find an IBM 5100 and solve this problem.

No need to worry about this. John Titor will fix this problem.

I'm always looking for a new job. One thing that stops me from applying for many jobs is my perceived lack of skill (self taught html, css, PHP dev, no college). Being self taught I feel I lack a solid foundation. I am in the process of teaching myself Python, loving it so far! Maybe one of these days I will take the leap and apply for a real job.

I'll know to look in Seattle next.

Same here on the Central Coast of California. In my town though there is only one cable internet provider (Comcast).

My only other option is DSL

I am facing a similar problem as the author.

I work at a newspaper and since I've been here (8 years now, I'm 28) I have learned some skills:

* Advertising Design(Print and Online Ads) * Layout Design * HTML * CSS * Some JS * PHP * mysql * Currently teaching myself Python * Online Advertising (Booking Campaigns)

I know how to do a lot, I just don't feel like I'm good at any of it. This is where I feel Jack of all trades (master of none) is an insult rather than a compliment.

Like the author I feel that if I apply somewhere else my skill level might not be up to par. It really is frustrating.

I sent my GF the article :-D

I believe it might be as easy as setting up an account on a freelancing website and searching for projects you feel you are capable of doing. Maybe you can also set up a PayPal account so you can receive payment.

I think there is still money to be made in porn.

I don't understand the connection either. For some people it's a choice. I don't know if any here are Football(Soccer) fans but, one of the top midfielders in the world Xavi who place for Barcelona lives with his parents. Xavi has won everything there is to win in his line of work, Club Trophies, World Cup, Champions League... is he considered a failure?

Have you tried freelancing? Or maybe a remote position? What about working on a side project porn related that will generate some income for you?

I am 28 with a job (not a career) and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I taught myself HTML, CSS, PHP, I am now TRYING to teach myself Python.

You sound like you just want to give up. You have to keep going man. Best of luck.

You guys should rotate a guy/girl image on the front page and a/b test. :-)

As a new customer who has had nothing but a great experience so far, thank you.

I could, but I've been playing with the same group of people (in a Pro Club) for the past 4 years, I'm in too deep. Plus, I just like the Playstation.

If you figure this out let me know... :-)

50-60% of a 40-60K salary is where I am at full time 40+ hours a week.

I'm with you on this one. I own a PS3 and for the past 3 years I've only purchased 3 games. FIFA 11, 12, and 13.

I will probably buy a PS4 just for FIFA XX

Quick Google searches. Hope they help.

What would you pay for a service like that?

Same here.

I'm going to guess most of these are coming from teenagers in high school.

I would remove the left rail that shows how much you have sold and what your goal is. I would focus more on drawing attention to the apps themselves.

Have you ever visited http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ ? (More page real estate = more money)

Good idea though, good luck. :)

Haha. I received a call from her about her computer running really slow. I walked in and noticed that device sitting on her desk next to her PC tower... Do you think it is messing with her machine?

Between 11pm & 12am, wake up at 7:30 AM

Wax strips...

Thank you.

I have been working at a newspaper for the past 8 years (I'm 27). At first I loved my job, it was all new to me. I started off as a graphic artist building print ads for local businesses, I then moved departments to IT/WEB where I've been for the past 5 years. My job description has been butchered over and over due to people being laid off.

I now build web ads (banners), maintain 5 newspaper sites, provide tech support to 3 offices, book online ads, run Advertiser Reports, run page view reports, move furniture, work on door locks, etc...

I have grown to hate my job. No one in my office can program other than myself, which sucks. I have no one to bounce ideas off of, too busy for side projects. The pay is shit, the people are nice. The publisher is clueless and is not held accountable by our parent company, but then again the newspaper industry as a whole is clueless.

My skills have not improved much, but I've learned a little bit of everything. Some people take the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" as a compliment, I'm starting to take it as an insult. I am OK at a lot of stuff, but not great at anything.

I've tried getting out but my location does not help me much.

I would love to have job satisfaction and not have to worry about money so much.

Find a job that you love.

Thanks for the advice. I work for a newspaper which makes it difficult to avoid competing with my employer. That in turn makes it difficult to come up with any project ideas.

Rental, Classifieds, Real Estate, Retail, Events, and News projects are all considered conflicts of interest. If I was able to work on any of those project the next challenge would be to direct traffic my way instead of Craigslist.

I will have to do some brainstorming/ research this weekend.

Thanks again.

I might try to use the data to create mock drafts.
