I didn’t have a topic staring at me today, and didn’t exactly have time to write up a reserved topic for later.

Feed Subscribers Cause Better Blogging
| Blogging, General Rants, Web | 3 Comments |
I’ve been noticing my feed subscriber count growing slowly but steadily. I don’t really try to promote my site with any link bait for the likes of Digg, StumbleUpon, or Sphinn for a long time now.

| Blogging | 1 Comment |

What Makes Serial Entrepreneurs Tick

It’s not a big secret that I am a big fan of the PMARCA blog. When the New York Times was recently writing a story on a serial entrepreneur Max Levchin of Paypal, Marc Andreessen had a lot to share on the subject overall . I quote some of the points which especially ring true to me - as I am [...]
