Startup: One month recap

It’s been one entire month since I took my first step so I thought it’d be a good time to recap my accomplishments: afterall, I did start this blog to document my crazy startup journey. I’ve worked more hours, learned more, and gotten more done then I’ve ever done in my LIFE. Productive time has [...]

Google Doodles

I’ve been trying to get my photoshop skillz up to snuff recently since I’ll soon be needing it soon to draw mockups of my startup.  I already talked a little bit about how amazing Google’s creative aura is here, but today I ran into this: So cool.  Wish I could draw like that.

“Business is easy”

“Business is easy.” Rich Barton, the big man at Zillow, said this once at an all company meeting… And it’s haunted me ever since. I can still remember where I was, what the weather was like, what pizza I was eating, and even what shirt Rich was wearing. I can replay it over and over [...]

$$$: Online Ad Spend

I’ve been doing a lot of market research lately for my startup. Any web entrepreneur is probably considering or has considered Ads as a viable business model. Google has made it super easy here. $9.99 Billion in ad revenues in 1H07. They must be doing something right. So what category/industries spend the most online? Here’s [...]
