An Open Letter to Google & Oracle
Dear Larry #1 & Larry #2,
DoInk.com, like many other startups, uses Java, and in-spite of the trend towards dynamic cotton-candy languages, I still love the overly verbose jTongue, if for nothing else than it’s static typing system and amazing catalogue of libraries.

Steve Blank Quote: It should go without saying that this post is not advice, nor is it recommendation of what you should do, it’s simply my observation of how companies using Customer Development positioned themselves to successfully raise money from venture investors.
Rafer sez: I’m all for being non-judgmental, but this is ridiculous. When you are in a...

“You rarely know what’s going to turn up on one of those wacky Spanish talk shows, but in no way were we expecting this. This man has trained his dog to dance, and we mean really dance. As the caption on Live Leak’s website puts it, “this dog dances better than you.” (via Huffington Post)
