A Quick Idea for BankSimple
Actually, this is an idea for anyone, but I think it’d be especially appropriate for BankSimple, who are building a brand around transparency, openness, and authenticity. It’s something I’ve wanted to do with PearBudget for a while, but it’s low on the priority list, and, with time being tight, I haven’t been able to make it happen. I’ve been thinking about...

Now that DF has achieved a modicum of popularity, however, what I tend to get instead aren’t queries or complaints about the lack of comments, but rather demands that I add them — demands from entitled people who see that I’ve built something very nice that draws much attention, and who believe they have a right to share in it.
They don’t.
I love this. My view on...

I’m really impressed with Google’s super-quick lookup info on the World Cup. Here’s what you get when you look up “world cup”:
Nice, right? BUT, it could be a lot better, with just a small tweak. Google knows my time zone. I know this, because when I was in San Francisco a week ago, my Google Calendar asked me if I wanted to update to Pacific time, and when I got...

WestCiv.com has some neat CSS generators, to create gradients, transformations, and so on.
(That last post was via the Awl. I couldn’t figure out how to incorporate a source into the Tumblr “chat” post formatting.)
dinosaur_senior: I hate sentences that begin with "And". Ugh!
roboloki: i hate senteces that start with "could you step out of the car, please".

Search “World Cup”
Scroll to the bottom. All the way to the bottom. See it?
I’ve been making some breakthroughs on a project that I’m looking forward to releasing soon. Can’t wait to share it with you.
Technically, it’s a reboot/pivot, so it might not be new to you. But it had pretty abysmal market awareness earlier, so odds are good that you have no idea what I’m talking about.
Anyway. Breakthroughs! More in a little bit.

Design is not limited to fancy new gadgets. Our family just bought a new washing machine and dryer. We didn’t have a very good one so we spent a little time looking at them. It turns out that the Americans make washers and dryers all wrong. The Europeans make them much better - but they take twice as long to do clothes! It turns out that they wash them with about a quarter as much...
Don Dodge has a good post up on what Angel investors should look for in their investments (How to be an Angel Investor … and make money). Here’s the summary in two parts, but the whole post is good, and short.
Angels should only invest in a company when all four of the following are present:
