spindlelabs:
After nearly a year and a half testing crazy ideas, I’m thrilled to share a bit about Spindle. At Spindle, we believe deeply that the world’s most valuable information lies within the social web. As nearly a billion people have embraced that it’s easier to share through Facebook and Twitter than…

The Gong Show: Push Notification Overload →
thegongshow:
Push notifications on iPhone are a total mess. The signal-to-noise ratio when my phone buzzes is quite poor these days.
Apple is doing the classic bad design cop-out move: give the user explicit, fine-grained permissioning and then dust their hands of the problem. I have 27 different apps I can…
At this point there’s a decent comment thread on the original post, but I...

a negative take on the valley. →
Even if Silicon Valley is on the downswing (I doubt it), it’s probably still the best place for a tech entrepreneur.
Maybe tech journalists in the Bay have grown lazy because they expect great companies to be everywhere.
It would be nice if tech journalists could provide more sober, balanced coverage instead of wetting themselves with excitement over every startup out there. Instead of...

vivek wadhwa responds via tc. →

fred destin weighs in on the vivek wadhwa fiasco. →
I love this Fred Destin article about the Silicon Valley vs. Boston brouhaha (clue: there is no discussion) over Vivek Wadhwa’s visit on Monday. It’s balanced and sober. Good read.

cherishing the early days as they fly by.
Sunday will be the three-month mark since Pat, Alex, and I started our work on Biff Labs. We’re now trying to raise a seed round and that comes with a certain amount of excitement/anxiety about the next few months — capital, implementation, growth, pivoting, etc. It’s easy to be excited about what’s coming because I really believe in what we’re doing.
I’m...

this is why diets are impossible.
There’s no place like NYC. Those marshmallows look ridiculous.
jeannn:
Because in this city, there are such things as “Hot Chocolate Month.” And on the second-to-last day of this so-called month at The City Bakery, H and I shared a pretzel croissant (delish) with our own cups of Happy Hot Chocolate. Yes, those are homemade marshmallows. And I don’t even usually like marshmallows! How...
