is there a video link to the presentation?

smart people never start startups... due to the fact that they will rationalise the risk as being too great

excellent interview

when will chrome become mainstream for linux?

they showed me a video of how cpu operated.. but they built it using second life.

It was at a barcamp that i attended.. its not for me but hey, anything that may get more students on cs courses here cant be a bad thing

I recently sat through a talk on how second life is being used as a teaching method in a CS course, its no where near dead, people are finding more ways to utilise it

SL is the first iteration, there are many new ones coming along soon

I agree, Andrew does a great job and provides information that you may not get in any other environment

A lot of the content is inspiring and very good for idea generation

for sales- frank bettger- How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling

I mention it as a comment of this- as frank regularly quotes this book

I once chatted about how Americans live up to the American dream while in other countries there is no such thing, you go to school and become another cog in the machine.

Entrepreneurship is frowned upon by some cultures- my family have are very much working class, my father and his father were both proud union men. Anything else wouldn't be encouraged

Im waiting for the full release- have you tried chromium- is it worth it?

Truth: Entrepreneurship leads to contentment

example- zappos.com sells shoes- nothing revolutionary about that! Still grew to a great business

This is great news- i love to listen to radio1 and now that installing real media to listen online isnt an issue I can listen at work!

look at it from both sides- wouldnt be in court if it wasnt controversial

I'm happy for the guys behind pirate bay they are making a killing, every time an article like this crops up on pages like this or digg/reddit its more marketing.

start-ups take note- controversial is king!

i use http://rescuetime.com its free and helps me track what i waste time on and gives me a target to focus on when developing

I wear very vibrant colors in life- lots of yellows, oranges and sky blues

This carries through in my designs-

So usually start with a color and may see a site with a scheme and alter it or use one of the color scheme choosers in google

bet tracking software and odds aggregation service..

what im working on now.. have four others but i will keep them in my head for now

i can see where he is coming from with this statement. I recently got knocked back from a goverment backed startup program here in ireland which i had my heart set on from i first heard about the programme at the start of this year.

I had two ideas i was looking to develop and i went with the one i thought had the most potential and the one i was most interested in, even disscussed it with the people who had to goverment tender to manage the program.

They where looking for great things such as exportable and high potential amongst other things. My idea really did tick all the boxes but as i filled out the application form, it was a far way from what they where looking for and for that i didnt make the interview stages.

But now im at the stage where i can demo one of the ideas at a local barcamp next week and im quite happy to move on a prove some people wrong who didn t believe my idea ticked certain boxes.

And yes i will be applying for ycombinator with my other idea which i have deemed more YC-esque

out press them, watch this interview from mixergy with the founders of hotornot.com

http://mixergy.com/hotornot-bootstrapped5-million-profits-ja...

once hotornot bootstrapped from the guys front room- funded competitors sprung up everywhere. He talks about getting his site to be the first article that newspapers carried about such a site

Never been interested in learning lisp but from the comments and the table of contents of the book I may give it a try.

read first two already :P

2nd was life changing

overpriced

i kinda meant who is building new sites in perl? my site's front end is built in rails while the api and xml handling is being done with perl due to the support from CPAN

how about an article on working full time, coding in any spare time you have, attend networking meetings and try to maintain a basic relationship with a gf.

i found it it interesting.. missles to iran isnt my cup of tea to be honest, although speculative, was interesting, reeks of a tom clancy story

no wonder.. i felt obliged to retweet the story

excellent comment... very inspirational and have copied and pasted into a txt doc to re-read

and i thought he would have been good at public speaking
