For my home desk I've been very happy with the herman miller setu: http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/multi-use-guest...

If you get it without the arm rests, it just tucks away, and its very comfortable.

I've heard good things about sendgrid

Nothing. I still believe our politicians aren't stupid enough to actually let the government default. It just may come down to the last minute.

This avoids the one major reason that I think most developers choose to develop native apps - how much easier it is to charge for it.

Recently turned 26. I spent a bit too long in university switching degrees and all, starting in economics but eventually graduated in electrical engineering. I got a job right out of school working for a large engineering construction company. Quickly realized that wasn't for me, but stayed on for 2 years for the paycheck. Married the girl of my dreams, quit my job, and moved to Guatemala to study spanish for a few months. I'm writing this the night before I head back to the US. In a month I'm moving to the San Francisco, and we'll see what happens from there.

Seems like there is no right or wrong way to go. I'd say just make sure you're happy and always challenging yourself.

Why discount Montreal? They've got a great start up scene.

Wow that looks amazing. I just moved out of Knoxville, so reading about your day there made me miss it a bit.

A few years ago, a buddy and I biked down the west coast, and it was probably the best thing I've ever done. I noticed you guys arent planning any rest days - we did the same thing, and I think it was a mistake. Towards the end of the trip, both of our knees were really starting to hurt, but we just pushed on. I was still getting pains in them for another year or so after the trip. Something to watch out for.

Pretty crazy story, even if its not about bitcoins.

Lots of good hardware tutorials: http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials

Cheap spanish classes (cheap everything, really) and nice weather. The internet could be a little faster, but I guess you can't have it all.

I started my summer a bit early: In Feb. I quit my job and moved to Guatemala. Here I'm spending the mornings learning Spanish, and the afternoons playing with Rails and Javascript. After I finish my current project, I'd like to look some into iOS development.
