– Andrew Chen talks about the new Growth Hacker - the coder and marketer combined. This is testament to the fact that coding is fast becoming the new literacy.

Whilst researching for the Achieving overnight success: Kevin Systrom piece I published two weeks ago, I was excited to see that one of Systrom’s earliest recollections of something that impacted his journey with startups was that he played Doom II a lot:

A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…

late this morning
I woke up late and called Kobalt immediately, I was surprised he answered (it was 8.05).
‘I am so sorry Kobalt, I overslept!’, I said.
in an out-of-breath and clearly running voice he replied:
‘Dad, I am headed for the car. I totally know how you feel - I overslept too!’
Like father like son,
I love that kid.

i miss the fucking tigers.
I never had a tiger in my life, but I know I miss having them there. I am sure of it. Why? Because Tigers made tomorrow the best god given day of your life - you just hoped you got to see it. The stagnation and boring routine of modern life is dragging us into lethargy - *we* (you and I) are the zombie apocolypse, the walking dead. Our routines are filled with drudgery, only spiced by the...

I propose a new kind of dictionary. One that is founded on the belief that we don’t have to live how others expect us to and that we should instead live our own ideal life.
Why? Because far too often I hear people say...

When I ran my previous video company, this was my motto.
Many would ask why paying for video service is so important when they could use youtube for free. Well if you are delivering a message, paying (either time, money, or both) to get in front of someone - you better be sure as hell that you are the only one talking to that user when they get there. Youtube is not conducive to that. Click...
business plan tools?
so a web 2.0 business plan search has yielded some fairly humorous results, but no real tools. In a post earlier this afternoon, I asked if anyone had run across a helper to generate one. two schools of thought arose: the first was that a business plan was laughable, the second was more of a stringent stare like ‘if you don’t know how, then move on’. I still think that plans are...

looking around, all I see is subscriptions and downloadables.
is there a site with an interactive builder?
paywall?
when did a ‘subscription’ become a ‘paywall’? ya know - back in my day kids, we had to pay for good information. but you only want what’s free. and now you have gawker. you get what you pay for, and changing the name dosen’t make the people on the other side any different. Journalism costs money. caugh it up or make decisions on poor reporting and speculation.

A fun little game for entrepreneurs.
You will need the following:

1 Computer with Internet connection
1 Yellow Pages
Simply take the phone book and throw it up in the air. Whatever section it lands on, create a disruptive business model and build a minimum viable product.
