man you hate taco bell today
zackattack··on Why I Love Working Out
dude, get real.
zackattack··on Why I Love Working Out
I suspect there's a market for it. Pay $50/month to simply listen to the big boys talk, pay $100/month to have posting privileges.

I'll talk to some ballers, see what I can do about this.

zackattack··on Why I Love Working Out
ya, really, i would NOT exercise if it weren't for the endorphin, metabolic & aesthetic benefits.
zackattack··on Why I Love Working Out
I am actually not especially interested in software. I would rather apply my technical mind to innovate on non-software problems...
zackattack··on Why I Love Working Out
Does anyone know of a forum like Hacker News except for business? Where successful people hang out and post? I'm happy to pay a monthly "not successful, noob" tax...
zackattack··on Waking up at 5am, my nearly 1 year review
I like to start my day with a healthy dose of confirmation bias.
zackattack··on Qwiki Epitomizes the Current Startup Bubble
you guys are idiots. banksy the lucky stuff is actually a qwiki team member stirring up controversy to propel his startup. any publicity is good publicity.
zackattack··on Waking up at 5am, my nearly 1 year review
I read through this comment and thought "This guy is probably very successful. Let's learn more about him." and sure enough, Lead Web Services Evangelist at Amazon.com, my favorite company.
zackattack··on Angel investors on Twitter and Facebook
this would be way better as a twitter list, so you could watch the stream and reach out to people who seem smart/interesting/"resonate with you"
zackattack··on Hacker Shows It Doesn’t Take $8 Million to Clone Qwiki
Have you ever heard someone say that they "love" an Apple product?
zackattack··on Google search and search engine spam
If they partnered with Facebook, it wouldn't be too difficult.
zackattack··on Google search and search engine spam
Why doesn't Google just count 'original' as whoever published the corpus first...
zackattack··on Hacking side projects: Napkin to $1000 per day
I am shocked and appalled by the types of comments on this thread. Wayne has shared some very powerful business concepts here.

NO there is not any exceptional technology here. Instead Wayne used his technical skillset to quickly hack a high-leverage SIMPLE solution that WORKS.

It takes genius to make things simple.

NO wayne is not sharing the market opportunity he discovered. His new business is not strong and robust enough to invite competition.

He discovered a DEMAND CHANNEL.

Maybe if he used the phrase "customer development" you guys would be nicer?

It's the same thing.

zackattack··on Applications Open For Summer 2011 YC Funding Cycle
What if you did some exploratory work on the solution at the last company you worked for ... are there potential IP issues that could crop up?
zackattack··on Who Does Colin Wright Use
I don't know about this dude. "living the happiest (and therefore philosophically aligned) life you can"

Living philosophically aligned will not necessarily make you happy. Sometimes deontic action sucks. hard.

zackattack··on Warning: Software Startups are Not as Easy as Everyone Says (2007)
This is a poster case of political correctness gone wrong. Making millions of dollars does not make a woman significantly attractive. Case in point, Kathy Bates, who has a terrible time meeting men, despite her success/wealth/talent.
zackattack··on Steve Pavlina releases 1000+ personal development articles into public domain
how many have you sold?
zackattack··on Groupon Readies for An I.P.O.
You seem confident. Are you taking a short position on Open Table? I doubt it. Put your money where your mouth is.
zackattack··on Ask HN: Hosted CRM software for small businesses?
highrise is definitely one. I'll give it a whirl.
zackattack··on 50 Cent Tweets, Tiny Stock Soars
I was following the tweets in real-time. He did mention that he owned stock in the company. He first explained that he invested in TVG (TV Goods, a subsidiary that markets through channels like QVC and HSN), and then a few tweets later explained that the ticker symbol was HNHI.
zackattack··on Ask HN: What makes a blog great?
This is amazing and very useful feedback. Thank you very much. I will work harder to convey my thoughts through stories instead.

Thanks for the feedback. I have significantly updated the blog's design pursuant to your feedback. What do you think now, how should I adjust?
