1000 paying customers is $10k MRR? Have you considered raising your prices?

Also, read everything patio11 has written at http://www.kalzumeus.com/blog/

What about leadership ability? You describe a number of absolutely necessary talents, but without the ability to lead your team on the task of executing the vision, those talents don't matter for long.

I started with DOS 4.01, and a DOS manual. I went command by command, until I got to format "hey, we have a lot of files, it would be nice to have them formatted..."

That day I learned about OS installation as well.

And then continued.

Agreed. Thats why I started the local barcamp, and will (most likely) create another event in the next year/18 months.

There is tremendous value in creating new events.

I'd certainly consider it.... especially if it was targeted for specific industries/regulations (HIPAA, SAS 70, etc).

I'm so happy to see people still doing this. (I'm also launching at least one (maybe 3 - sigh don't ask) apps this month.

I've been looking as well. I have a hunch we have the same goal... Would love to chat. (my email is in my profile)

I would say something along the lines of what you said here. You were new, there are a few things you'd have done differently now (and list what those are) but that people love it and its not your primary interest anymore, etc.

I'm usually questioning the code I wrote 15 minutes ago.

I'm looking for a designer, and a UX person (hopefully one and the same) that can help build out a mobile / web application in the healthcare space.

We are hq'd in Omaha, Nebraska, but are open to talent being anywhere.

If you are interested, email matt nimblelogic com with a subject of PV.

are you meaning two people on a project? if so, thats coming. if not, please elaborate?

They won't though. You are asking people to choose between getting groped/irradiated and BIG SCARY AMBIGUOUS THREAT.

Most people are not willing/able to make the leap you have.

Its possible that it may be more frequent :)

Not my favorite personally, but its being compared to Scott Harrison of Charity Water, Gary V, and Tony Hseih of Zappos, so that's not really a negative.

Still a great video.

I've bought startupmonth.org to house a forum or something. Any thoughts on what should be there?

agreed. Trying to figure out a good method for all to keep in touch. Any suggestions?

A great point and completely agree. Updated post.

I know! I was worried about that, but hey, different inspirations for different folks, right? (I think thats how that goes...)

I like both ideas, but would see the second one as more useful initially (to me). That said, if you get the other one done in time of the end of November, there could be a fair number of startups needing such a tool. :)

Looks great! Good luck on the launch.

I like your name better :)

Congrats on the launch!

Bored is a choice.

http://whatcrackin.com is a weekend project so I could keep tabs on who was where during SXSW this last year.

node.js + google maps + faye comet library

Damn. Never got you here for BarCamp. Maybe BigOmaha next year?

First off, Hey kadavy, its been a while, when you coming by Omaha again? :)

Mike, I'm in Omaha now. You should come check out our scene sometime. Feel free to email me at matt@nimblelogic.com

I'm in Omaha, but may be willing to pop up for this.

The original commenter has pointed out all of the technical issues I see with your post, minus the tone. I felt you were overly harsh. I can understand being frustrated with the situation, but, come on... in 3 months it will either die away or they will have succeeded (for some amount of success) and we can easily move on with our lives.

exactly the same for me. Always wondering if there is a better way to write that line of code. My goal: 100% performance improvement (ie: there is no line of code)

One of the reasons for model # segmentation amongst the laptops sold in retail stores: price competition offers ie: "If you find this model cheaper somewhere else in the next 14 days and we'll beat the price"
