I know someone who started putting together a directory of dispensaries and was able to barter a listing for $500 worth of product.

May this app soon be useful in all 50 states!

I've built dry stacked stone walls. Can't beat the feeling of satisfaction knowing they will stand for over a century.

A little gardening website - http://gardenobserver.com

Trying to track late blight on tomatoes. http://gardenobserver.com/report/map. Anyone having pest problems in their gardens? Hook me up!

A lot more info! If only more people would upvote the original source.

But it allows other, less competent people to put together great sites without needing the money and time for a rockstar team.

Bought to motivate people to start developing/integrating with yahoo mail.

I'd find a native English speaker to help write your copy.

Why would someone want to share their media contacts with the competition?

Don't forget there are plenty of small building owners and managers who don't have the time or capacity to be showing apartments to prospective tenants. Some have even resorted to hiring brokers and paying their fees to get units filled.

Sure there are plenty of unscrupulous brokers out there, but some do provide an invaluable service.

I just upgraded to their $50/mth dv server from the grid and it's night and day different in terms of speed. Was hosting a drupal site and sat for over 20 seconds per page load now down to super speedy.

Best solution is whatever works. As a former landscaper paying over $500 a month for a leased truck and insurance, I'll pay anything for a server that does the job right.

About time! I hope any import email contact tool is forced to have nothing preselected.

And I still can't read it on my kindle for free.

I love the idea. Had it myself, but please please don't tell anyone about it. Isn't it nice being the first one to the stairs? Let's keep the best exits to ourselves.

Downloaded the sample on my kindle. It would be nice to see an actual map, if only just one instead of a huge listing of all the stops.

After upgrading to 3.5 I thought the article was going to be about how memory problems are getting worse with firefox. It was using over 1gb today!

Just read about it at the source http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-find-out-w...

Wow, grants.gov has $220,000 open for something very similar to what I'm working on.

I emailed her and she said people have asked about taking over the blog once she has a job and others asked about doing a similar thing.

Would people pay to be showcased on a hire a boss site?

Auto rejecting tinyurl links would be nice.

I have a kindle 2 and a netbook and love that they are separate. I treat the kindle as a book/magazine and use it on the subway, in a cafe, in bed etc just like a book.

I would never do the same with my netbook especially considering how much larger it is. The kindle 2 is the perfect size for reading and a 10" netbook is the perfect size for a netbook.

Have to love WP referring to Facebook as "a social networking site intended mainly for college students."

Do you really want the backing of a manager of company that's laying off a large percentage of their employees including yourself? Talk to new people. It will be liberating.

They're called VirginAmerica.com

What's your risk tolerance? Do you have living expenses for enough time to find a job if the startup doesn't pan out as quickly as hoped for?

I've used my Kindle 2 in Greece and Israel. Outside the USA, you won't have wireless service, but you can buy books on amazon and transfer via USB from your computer. Same thing goes with PDFs. Just download, convert to ebook reader format and transfer.

Forget calling her. We're going to the ITP, NYU Spring Show this afternoon.

Yeah, keep it to I was laid off, cranked out X application while on unemployment the past two months, have just launched and want YC feedback.

Great catch.

I used this for financing a new landscaping company. 15% of my customers prepaid their maintenance fees for the year at a 10% discount. Purchased tools, equipment and paid lease downpayment on a truck with the money and still had some leftover for hiring two helpers.

"Yes, when you think of the actual pigs that have been slaughtered in a hysteria-prompted move in Israel (no one has yet contracted the illness there), then this seems ... totally insensitive."

Wasn't it Egypt that ordered the slaugher of 300,000 pigs not Israel?

That's awesome! I used to launch model rockets in the early 90's at a De Anza College parking lot.

I've never used OpenID so it's a turnoff that I can't see more. Also not likely to read long web pages on my kindle.

I'd love to have a conversion service where I could paste a URL for a pdf, have it converted and emailed to my kindle. I'd pay for that.
