grabble··on Do fewer things; do them better; know why you're doing them
Bad advice, especially if you're under the age of 35 or want to evolve as a person.

I would suggest the exact opposite: do many things, fail better, be open to new possibilities.

grabble··on To LA Times: Do You Have to Suck the Sweat out of my Balls now that I am Dead?
This offensive and disgusting headline distracts from the message.

For God sakes, grow up.

grabble··on Don't Be A Free User
Delicious still has the goods. I'd even say it's underrated now.
grabble··on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's Resume. Anyone interested?
Oh Rob, being a long time /. reader, I know you'd ban someone's account to Hades if they did on /. what your doing here.

Just sayin.

grabble··on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's Resume. Anyone interested?
Rob doesn't need to parade around a resume to get in a startup. The boy is prequalified.
grabble··on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's Resume. Anyone interested?
You're confusing me Rob. You want to be someone's employee, follow someone else's vision, get a regular paycheck, dental plan yada yada - and yet you want to change the world. Again.

It's definitely possible to do, but not as likely, and resumes are a bit played out, esp. for someone with your credentials.

Yep. Totally confused.

Namespro.ca have excellent service and "not bad" prices. Highly recommended.

P.S. And yes, I despise GoDaddy with every molecule of my being.

grabble··on Show HN: Entire concerts algorithmically "reconstructed" from YouTube videos
That's because they're too busy suing people to innovate.
grabble··on Path just evolved with an entirely revamped product
Fair enough. Let me try and understand this. Facebook is a social network for sharing with close friends or family. Path, on the other hand, is a social network for sharing with close friends or family.

Understood.

Addendum: I hope Path finds it's "path" to success. I sincerely do. I just don't think it has enough differentiation in the social media space.

Another Social app? Even the most interesting, narcissistic person in the world doesn't have this much to share.

Is this what it's about? Narcissism? Are we all so vain?

grabble··on Ask HN: Incubator doesn't like that I'm a single founder. Offers alternative.
I bristled when I read this. They are making some steep requests and I can't see how you could seriously consider going along with this. It can't be in your best interest.
grabble··on I Just Made My First Sale Woooooooooh
Bounce rate is scary high. You need something to keep them on the page longer.

And congrats on the sale!

grabble··on [Ask HN]: Would you pay to easily access Hulu, Pandora, etc. outside the US?
No way. Too many options to turn to. It seems like everyone is offering streaming video now.
grabble··on A Personal Appeal To Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales
Readers of HN must be completely miserable people to downvote comments like this.

If you would consider downvoting the above comment, look at your own life first and ask yourself why you're so unhappy.

grabble··on Show HN: The AirBnB of Advertising: YouMarket.Me
I think you may have something here. I can see it being a place to swap display ad space in local areas.
grabble··on Drinkify: The Dark Side of Digital Entrepreneurship?
I see Drinkify as an experiment, and perhaps there will be those that use the service for a giggle, but there isn't anything there that will help evolve humankind.

It's not really even worth discussing, is it?

grabble··on The Mouse Trap: The dangers of using one lab animal to study every disease
Yes.
grabble··on The Mouse Trap: The dangers of using one lab animal to study every disease
It's only ironic if you believe everything the government tells you.
grabble··on The Mouse Trap: The dangers of using one lab animal to study every disease
No, I didn't RTFA, but I'm going to blow off some steam anyway... experimenting on mice for human-related studies (behavioral, physical etc) is not only lazy, but fraudulent. It's a waste of tax payer money, and its overly cruel on en entire species of animal.

And we constantly reference these studies with lab mice again and again for answers to human problems. It's a fraud.

grabble··on Helveticards - Minimalist Typography Cards for the Typophile, Gambler
Love the design of this deck, but that may be the problem. They look almost too nice to play with.

Another card game with nice design is the SEO card game SERPs & Spyders: http://SERPsandSpyders.com - you learn and build SEO tactics and strategies in Magic the Gathering style gameplay.
