Frank Chimero: There is a Horse in the Apple Store →
I’ve been accused of finding humor in places that others don’t. Laughing at things that don’t immediately seem laughable. In light of that, I LOVed this short essay. It has a sort of John Hodgman on This American Life quality. Definitely worth a read.
There is a horse in the Apple Store and no one sees it but me. I think, “Why?” What is the villain here that blinds all of...

What was your best startup moment thus far?
The night we launched. Definitely. I couldn’t go to sleep and it was my birthday the next day. I woke up in the middle of the night to check to see if anyone had signed up yet.

Yesterday while watching a Hulu video, I saw a commercial for SmallCanBeBig.org. I fell in love with the idea. The site partners with charities to select specific families in need to feature on the site and allows visitors...

I got my first SLR camera this week. I’ve always wanted to be a good photographer, but never got around to investing in a decent camera.
I’ve discovered 3 things so far:
I have no idea how to use it.
