I'm obviously not a cultural expert but I spent two years between Iraq and Afghanistan living with and training the local security forces. Prior to going over we were taught how culturally sensit…

- No TV (and no news). Stopped watching years ago, spend more time on productive things. - No video games. I binge and play again for maybe 1 week a year. - Spend free time with wife, because that&#…

Interesting. I found that going later in the day ( sometime between 10am and 3pm, whenever I take a break) is better for me because I'm most productive/focused in the mornings.

I use Bose QuietComfort 15 (noise cancelling). Link: http://www.amazon.com/Bose%C2%AE-QuietComfort%C2%AE-Acoustic... I got a pair for my wife and I used them constantly, so I got a p…

If you look into China's real estate market they've invested billions to build cities...empty cities. They continue to build because citizens' investment options are limited, so real e…

Whenever I start a new project I snag the Twitter name for it and link it up to automatically tweet when stuff is posted to the website so I can at least show up. Same with Facebook. I don't th…

I shared the room with a guy I met earlier this year at MicroConf (another great conference). I think Rob Walling or Mike Taber put us in touch.

Great post. Being new in my entrepreneurial career I'm just learning the pleasures of working from anywhere. I live in San Diego, but a few weeks ago I drove up to NorCal to visit the parents. …

WooCommerce ( http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce ) is built on WordPress, open source, and free. I know there's work being on WordPress to make it easier, like adding front-end e…

Residential real estate investments, mostly in San Diego, CA. I bought during the dip '08 to '12 and rent them out. Property managers take care of all of them for me. Most are condos, whi…

Here's a crazy idea: You're a developer. If it's too complex for your customer, then simplify it. Fight the urge to build something new just because you can. You're really the …

The location I was at (a Verizon store) didn't even have any in gold available. I just picked up my 5s (silver/white) and it's incredible. My wife has the 5, and the 5s is surprisingly…

I did something similar, but I bought the homes cash instead of financing. I bought most properties as short sales and a cash buyer seemed to have an advantage (maybe I was wrong?) so I always offere…

b) is interesting. In 2008/2009 I spent a year in Iraq on a small military advisor team. We went out in teams of 6-9 and lived with the Iraqis. Most of our MREs were expired (they expire quick…

While I don't necessarily condone this, it is an interesting thought. Social motivation (i.e. what people think about us) is one of the most powerful motivations in the world. How would the wor…

I'll share more about the product in two months when I start working on it full-time and can spend more time crafting the message I want, though it's quite tempting to do it now. It seems to…

I’ve developed an affinity for single founders because I am one. I'm working on my first product now and I don't have any experience working with a cofounder (or even in the tech space), b…

This comes at an opportune time with the downsizing of the forces. The younger service members are the ones more likely to be pushed out in their mid to late 20's. It's a solid job for those who go …

First off, I didn't watch the whole thing, I got sick of it. So, my comments aren't necessarily about the documentary, but to provide some perspective. The below are notes I took while reading in no…

Ditto. I love Help Scout as well. I just started with it last week and it was a pretty easy decision. I messed with ZenDesk last year as well, and it was just too much. Since I do most of my work …

I don't know if there's a best, but I use DigiCert.com. They're the perfect combination of easy, quick and affordable. Plus, the support is great.

Depends on your audience. Do most know what it means? Do most even notice it?
