bomatson··on Weekend Project: Viral Marketing Done Right
Clever copy...
bomatson··on John McCarthy Has Died
What a sad month
bomatson··on How to hire an idiot
He should of at least Googled the guy!
bomatson··on Steve Jobs left designer Jony Ive more power than anyone at Apple
I second that notion, creative talent of this magnitude needs to be recognized more often!
bomatson··on How Two Teenagers Broke In To Silicon Valley - And The Music Industry
Right on guys.

But, even for Lil' Wayne? It's hard to believe, usually ad budgets get allocated for Universal artists

bomatson··on How Two Teenagers Broke In To Silicon Valley - And The Music Industry
C'mon. You guys don't understand the budgets they had to grow these bases. It's not hard to throw $ in a FB advertising campaign w/ a few grand a month and get to these #'s. Props to these guys for being hustlers and tech-savvy but the praise ends there. Tracks.by hasn't proven anything yet
bomatson··on Starting is easy. Finishing is hard. Finish something at Finish Weekend.
Likewise :/
bomatson··on Want Something? Make It Easy To Say Yes
Great post, this goes back to showing empathy when you are asking for something (help with a project, buying a product, blowjobs). Put yourself in their shoes and think "what would it take to make me say yes?"
bomatson··on TechStars, Lies & Videotape
Sounds like a press release from a corporate CEO.

Either way - Dope pivot w/ Veri, Lee

bomatson··on Why I'm learning to code - Roy Bahat, President at IGN Entertainment
Seems like he's in it or the right reasons, but possibly too late.

At the very least he'll become more efficient communicating with his dev team & management than before.

bomatson··on OpenClassroom: Free video courses from Stanford University
Jackpot. Love all of these open learning programs, especially when supported by universities. Definitely helping me learn RoR!
bomatson··on Show HN: Codecademy.com, the easiest way to learn to code
Feels great, well done on the UX side. Although I do wish you would focus on particular languages and use cases. Suddenly, "I'm learning Javascript". A normal reaction would be- "Why am I learning Javascript? What is it useful for?" for non-technical users
bomatson··on "Any time you have worked long hours, it is a sign of a broken process."
touché.
bomatson··on Punchd has been acquired by Google
Congrats Punchd, saw your great preso on 500 startups demo day (also, Alexia is dumb for ever calling you one of the 'least interesting' startups)
bomatson··on Show HN: My weekend project, Startup Tees
I second these comments, would be great for mobile games or entertainment focused startups, where a lot of users are loyal fans and would wear the merch around proudly
