What we need

Interesting piece from Chris Anderson today on WSJ on the aspect of the “free” biz model. The quote above sparked my interest to write a side comment to his theory that startups must look at models that make money or at least be cash-flow positive at the...

Valentine's Day dinner menu
Kara and I have decided to co-host a special Valentine’s Day supper club just for our friends, because that’s way more fun than doing the cliché thing of going out to a restaurant for $100 or eating dinner by yourself. We’ll be serving a 4 course meal + wine, invitation only, $30.
The tentative menu is:
Oysters with Apple Mignonnette Roasted Beet, Blood Orange, Belgian Endive,...
“You don’t stop the journey just because one of the donkeys died.”
– Some public radio show that I only heard for a few seconds before getting interrupted. Can’t find a reference to the quote (paraphrased here from memory). Triple word score and a hat-tip link to whoever finds both the show and the source/provenance of the quote. (via 43folders)
51 followers!
It might not be much for some, but I’m celebrating the fact. Especially since I didn’t seriously start using Tumblr until October 21st (before then it was just a dumping ground for my Google Reader / Twitter / Flickr / Blog stuff).
Thanks everyone, this community is really special.

So so so true.
Can I get a do-over?
Rough day today.
Mom informs me she and Dad are splitting up after almost 30 years of marriage.
I find out while driving back from Hoboken NJ, where I was bailing out my best friend Will from the Hoboken jail. Why was he in jail? $89 unpaid parking ticket. Cop pulled him over after running his plates. Most boring arrest story ever. Total time: 3.5 hours.

adamiss:
My mind’s been on it the last few days. Here are my favorites:
Big Wong King - NYC
Grand Sichuan - NYC (get the hot pot)
Little Pepper - Flushing
Spicy & Tasty - Flushing
Got anything a bit more under the radar? And I know I’m not being original here, but why should LA tacos get all the love?

I started reading the book based on Fred’s recommendation, but hadn’t gotten as far as the quote before hearing about it from Dave today. Pretty exciting!

The technical story of Muxtape
kylewritescode:
tlvx:
Muxtape is “a minimalist platform for bands to promote their music”. That minimalist approach encompasses more that just aesthetics. It also informs our technical decisions, architecture, and the tools we use. Minimalism isn’t about doing less as much as it is about doing as little as needed. The more specific your goals the easier it is to say yes and no at the right...

Can someone a little more tech-savvy please tell me what the fuck is with this incredibly user-unfriendly, non-intuitive website?! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO FIND LOVE THIS WAY??
Did you know that OKCupid was started by the guy from Bishop Allen? Him and his friends started SparkNotes, too. WEIRD, HUH? If you don’t believe me, ask the Internet.
I actually met them, once....
