comster··on Frugal San Francisco (with AirBnB)
guys (of airbnb) .... notice how anyone who writes about you uses AirBnB, rather than airbnb? I've mentioned before, no one understands airbnb. Its illegible / unreadable, and has no meaning.

Time to grow up and have a corp. identity?

comster··on Daring Fireball: "Facebook login"
This is just fucking great

comster··on Our Google Government

comster··on Ask HN: What are your fav new web apps at the moment?
Apparently everyone is too busy building at the moment...
comster··on Ask HN: Alternative careers for a developer
I'm in this boat. Need to quit taking a paycheck and go it alone, but it's hard.
comster··on My Numbrosia iPhone game is free for a limited time. Suggestions for update?
Interesting game, I went to download it, but have to rant about app store shit.

I hate all the LITE and VERSIONED games. Fucking BS for the customer. So I veto. Sorry man, don't charge for version 2, version 3... so lame.

comster··on Poll: Should you run ads from day 1?
I'd just say be very careful. Use them to your advantage, but don't expect a dime. So def. don't overwhelm the user. Just fill a little space if you must.
comster··on The OpenOffice.org Mouse is Real
dont hate.
comster··on Panera Bread Blocks bit.ly links
I fucking hate short urls.... stupidly - unnecessary imposition of 140 characters has caused the removal of any context .
comster··on Ask HN: What do you use for tracking your users?
http://www.woopra.com/ kicks ass for real time traffic watching
comster··on Ask HN: What do you do on weekend?
Try to take over the world!
comster··on Ask HN: Review my web app, AreaTeams
a brief description on hn about what your "web app" is would be nice. I could care less about this one.
comster··on Ask HN : What would you do if you had to switch to a "manual" job?
I like this opposed to my typical startup work that gets trashed in record time.
comster··on Ask HN : What would you do if you had to switch to a "manual" job?
Be Happy
comster··on Ask HN:applications you would love to see in cell phones
funny I actually saw a mock app on Tv (Bones). Hate or Date I think it was called and did just that. Very cool idea.

Another TV inspired phone app (Fringe) could listen to a phone dialing numbers and turn around and call the number for you, based on the tones of the numbers in the phone number. Cool.

comster··on Requested change to the Hacker News RSS feed - items should link to the comments
The feed does link to the comments. Please don't be like digg/slashdot here.... its nice to get to the meat without the extra click thru.
comster··on Ask HN: Rate my site - FirstDrafter community library of contract forms
the buttons do an annoying wiggle on hover (css issue webkit)
comster··on Blackboard to Buy Rival Angel Learning for $95 million
omg Blackboard should die
comster··on Ask HN: How do you do your health insurance in your startup?

comster··on [dead]
not scheduled?
comster··on More than 20% of self-made billionaires never completed college
Lets put it this way. The 20% lead, the 80% is a "no-brainer"
comster··on More than 20% of self-made billionaires never completed college
What'd you learn in school? no, seriously.
comster··on College dropout makes $100,000 a year, with a two-day workweek
my first impression too was WTF? the entire first page tells you almost nothing. Seeing that there were 5+ pages, no thanks....
comster··on Faking votes on Hacker News
I think using the excuse of "trust" for having security holes is not justified.
comster··on HN: 33K visitors = 32,500 random tire kickers. But it also = 500 new hackers
I'd agree with some sort of account signup requirements. Maybe invites from current members etc... but doing the Erlang homepage is just weak sauce. I would think that even the "1337 hackers" on this site don't need 5,000 more erlang links they could find using google or delicious. Sites like this are only interesting when they are broad enough to introduce us to new things, not barrage us with details about someones fav language.
comster··on Your Last Stop for Erlang Information
no! please dont stop.
comster··on Ask HN: Y Erlang
come on, where is the erl love? jk... please stop
comster··on Why are 16 out of 30 front page submissions Erlang related?
HN content is just as much a joke as any other "news" site. Just pump it through a reader and quit wasting time on their erlang flooded homepage.
