I don't know if I have Celiac, but I sure get sick from Gluten. I snooped around the links on several celiac's sites and came to the conclusion that I don't know and it can't really be diagnosed.

Best of luck to you!

Don't know what is going on, could be a host issue or a dns nameserver hiccup.

I am eating more bacon for lunch.

That girl was a bit off the deep end, protesting an irony event (inside we had a 100% Vegan breakfast, the people handing out bacon were mostly Vegan). We were watching the rest of Boulder run five miles, and we were kicking back and eating breakfast, vegan breakfast.

I love animals, and I am against those with bad taste.

I saw that in a few places, and would like to believe it isn't true... but hey, who knows. It sure does make a lot more sense than just randomly censoring hacks (how many hacks have you seen hit the front page?).

Re: Boulder Creative Commons

Administrator — Thu, 10 May 2007 13:19:26 -0000

Alex- Yes, that may just be the answer. I went to the one in Austin, which was awesome, but didn't bring out the creative crowd like BarCamp brings out the tech crowd.

I will look into it an most likely go to it. Thanks for the lead!

Re: London unveils logo of 2012 Games | Andrew Hyde - Humble Yet Bold

Administrator — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 16:33:09 -0000

My only hope is this is a PR stunt, that they really want a better logo, but are letting this one out to piss people off. Once people are pissed, they will ask for participation, and the community will feel involved in the games.

Re: Thoughts on Startup Weekend and Boulder | Andrew Hyde - Humble Yet Bold

Administrator — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 02:13:17 -0000

Thanks to all for the great comments.

@Micah I brought this idea up to someone today, and the reply was "yeah, it is called entrepreneurship"

@Kath Thanks to you!

@Jeff We have 3 people crashing on the couch in August, all at different times, but you are in good company

@fewquid best of luck with the startup!

@will I can't wait for DC. Funny how small circles are, going from Open Coffee -> SW in your town

@Stan I can't thank you enough

@Jon I have a great quote that your comment made me think of. I will post it later this week.

@Theron Bring it on! I love making terms up.

@Michael Mentors like you make the dream happen. Without startups like yours, my mind wouldn't have kicked other ideas around, wouldn't have gotten involved in the startup scene.

@Jeff C. The term works, take it and use it well

Re: Toronto

Administrator — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:01:08 -0000

@Lance Weatherby I agree with you on the local organization, but I can't put some things, such as legal forms, in someone else's control. Overreaction? Yes.

I agree with you about local leadership, it has been amazing seeing the Atlanta weekend and others just explode. My biggest fear is having a bad weekends leadership effect other organizers weekends and standing in their communities.

Re: Toronto

Administrator — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:12:46 -0000

@xxxx great points and I am glad everything was worked out at the end of the weekend.

I did not call you dishonest. I feel there was some major miscommunication between the organizing team and the founders, that many people took as dishonest, but I don't think for a second your intentions were malevolent or dishonest. The question was, what can we do to make sure the weekends never fall into the hands of 'dishonest' organizers (not calling you dishonest at all). If I organize these weekends, I need to make sure the structure is set up to protect from the chance someone wants to use this concept as a form of free labor or tricking people into building a product for them.

The bigger point is- what if the intentions of the organizers were drastically different than the reason why most people signed up? I have received 15 emails from people who signed up for the weekend that were greatly disappointed in the 11th hour legal forms and organizing. So I had the option, do I just let everything pass or do I be open and transparent on what happened, and take action on how to make sure the trust is held for future weekends.

Re: Toronto

Administrator — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 19:09:13 -0000

@Stefan Schedereit

Startup Weekend is my company... I wasn't there to be a guest, I was there to make sure it was a success. Once I found out what was pulled, I focused my efforts on future weekends, and to provide what I could to all the participants.

I didn't sign in for shares when I wasn't working on the product, so fear not.

@Kevin yes, both can work, I showed my bias

@Hubs it would be nice to have it both ways. Find a mentor is key

@Jim don't go backpacking on ice with kids. If so, bring the minivan

Re: Biggest Blogging Mistakes of 07 | Andrew Hyde - Humble Yet Bold

Administrator — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 17:47:10 -0000

@Josh20 great tips on more than just blogging. Tumblr is great, but the quick pace of it ruin rss readership. I have used Google Apps, and filled up almost 6 Gig of mail. Yikes!

@Tyler I have to agree with you on using Intense Debate (I worked along with them this summer at TechStars). Both work great, but I have to support the friends! Great points on tumblr and online identity.

Awesome to hear about the PT. I have tried them before, but my diet was the biggest issue for me.

Re: Simple Permalink Trick

@Chris yes, the date can be very helpful

I wonder if it helps or hurts you? Does it cloud the URL or does it provide relevant data? Would a google search of 2008 simple permalink trick not work for my current structure, but work really well with yours?

@Jay as I said "I don’t like Live Video on Cellphones in general and as a startup play" and after using it quite a bit, I still feel this way.

It is solving a problem that isn't there, but can be used in amazing ways. Not for me, and I explained why.

Great podcast, that was a really fun listen.

In the podcast you say that a blogger can't cover Iraq. What about River? She has done a fantastic job.

http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/

What about the Thai Coup coverage, with pictures on Flickr?

Bloggers can cover news events, not as well as reporters, but as River shows, can be much better.

"Screenshot Plus" is what you are looking for.

There is also a way to change what the mac saves the files as, but Screenshot Plus is amazing, so just use that.
