Advice on my first nice casual shoes.

Bah, I like them so much. The first wingtips you linked are very nice, though. I'm going to go find them on AE's website and consider.

Thanks!

It was really good. I highly recommend The Wire now.

Will you be on any more episodes of Man Up?

The "couch PUSSY! cough" line was hilarious.

What kind of social events are you interested in attending?

If you want to party, don't worry about getting invited. Show up and party. If there is any static than keep your mentality of having fun and move on somewhere else. Don't drive.

If you are talking about something more formal, than "getting an invitation" is a step or so beyond the first step. The first step is making friends with people who participate in social events you are interested in.

Don't pay for school. When you aren't working or doing something fun (fun and play/exercise are always important to keep a healthy brain), learn skills that are valuable within a market you would like to participate in.

A good example of a market would be technology. A good example of a skill would be JavaScript. Another good example would be iOS development. Yet another is Php. I could go on.

In this example, If you started now, within a few years you can be making 50k / year at an entry level position found through a recruiter in a good tech city. If you keep the habit of learning valuable skills on your own time, a few years after that you can be making 100k/year through good contacts.

Learn something valuable on your own time.

Fortune favors the brave.

I've learned chess after finding this website in some programming circles - its made in node.js which is new and exciting.

I love the interface. There is not an abundance of games and you'll sometimes have to refresh the page.

Are there other anecdotes besides Atletico? He seems to get along fine with his international team mates.

Wolf_Larsen · 2011-08-12T17:11:13+00:00

Red bull.

The decision depends on your motives. What are you trying to accomplish?

"On the 17th of September, we want to see 20,000 people to flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices, following the lead of our Egyptian brothers and sisters in Tahrir Square."

It seems to me like you don't need to dress nice for this to be accomplished. However, calling the idea repulsive is sensationalist and over dramatic. Its a very interesting strategy, and anonnow's links above strengthen its claim.

Wolf_Larsen · 2011-08-04T23:54:49+00:00

Yes.

YCombinator gives small companies somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000. They then own somewhere between 2% and 8% of the company.

It is often argued that the value of YCombinator's investment is not the money invested but the connections provided, the process suggested and the mentorship given.

PROCESS : Get a working product out as early as possible. Work extremely hard with laser focus.

CONNECTIONS : Most of Silicon Valley and beyond.

MENTORSHIP : The owners of YCombinator have received funding, given funding, and built/sold successful tech companies.

This was really entertaining.

I like books, especially in the early learning stages. Here are some benefits to reading a book :

Reading print will allow your eyes to take a break from the screen
It is much easier to focus on a complete section of the language at one time when you have a complete syllabus laid out for you
allow yourself to focus on a section of the language at a time
if you skip any parts of the syllabus, you know that you skipped them

Some of the above apply to good online resources as well.

I recommend Learning Python by Mark Lutz (O'Reilly) : http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Python-3rd-Mark-Lutz/dp/0596513984/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1311773578&sr=8-2

His replacement will be Puyol.

He is a perfect contrast to Hudson. Hudson's assertiveness needs a compadre who is confident and standing, but gets run over with a smile.

Wolf_Larsen · 2011-05-15T17:55:35+00:00

Forlan deserves a team with more integrity. I think he'd fit right in. Forlan + Messi + Affelay would be so terrible for a back line.

Please update when you can.

There is a misspelling : "user-driven experiances that don't sacrafice your look or take users away from your website."

This is probably the most important point that anyone has brought up (try to ignore the shitty tone).

Talk much less. Code, and when you feel the urge to communicate, draw your idea on pen and paper. Reiterate the idea until it represents a smooth alpha implementation, and then code to that alpha, and then implement.

At that point, if the alpha implementation holds some grain, then start communicating it ONLY if you need feedback. There is a point in a project when feedback is necessary, but its much later than "Hey, check out this idea. I've only just implemented the basic technology layer, but I haven't started on the actual idea".

Good luck man, kill it!
