I had a dream last night that I went shopping. Nothing exciting, just me browsing Amazon for hours...

You Are Boring (by @scottsimpson in @TheMagazineApp) http://the-magazine.org/4/you-are-boring

@slhomme @kylefox have you listened to any other episodes?

@robertwdesign I love those too. ;)

@kylefox haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet though. Looks so good. Damn that blog is good!

Brilliant for retail shops: "business in a box" http://bit.ly/WWFNLe

@kylefox yup. ;) https://twitter.com/productpeopletv/status/304327992459554817

@joestump ha ha. What's this in response to?

@Skillachie tell me more: what happened?

@_swanson just read your comment on my survey! I'm heading out the door, but I'd love to chat more in the future. Thanks!

@ttimsmith use Fireworks. ;) #stillusingfireworks

When I get to the office, I do a quick workout to get myself limbered up. http://buff.ly/13gIJBo via @bingoffuel

Man @tldrio is seriously awesome. Especially for HN:

@kylefox jerk.

@kylefox do you have an invite code for here? https://news.layervault.com

@kevinhorek nice! Thank you.

@pietereer cool. You might also enjoy my podcast: @productpeopletv. Also, feel free to comment here: http://disq.us/8cdcq1

@SaySandra yes. It's so hard to let go of an idea once you've become "married" to it.

@Chroma3395 I'd love to hear more about this - If you're able, do you want to start some discussion in the comments? http://disq.us/8cdcq1

@JohnBPetersen Tell me more - actually, if you're able, I'd love to see some good discussion started in the comments: http://disq.us/8cdcq1

@csherstan BTW: If you're able, I'd love to see some good discussion started in the comments: http://disq.us/8cdcq1

@kevinhorek Cool. If you're able, I'd love to see some good discussion started in the comments: http://disq.us/8cdcq1

@nycdevshop Yes! If you're able, I'd love to see some good discussion started in the comments: http://disq.us/8cdcq1

@pietereer thank you. How did you find it? Have you read something in particular that interested you?

@percyhanna exactly. You can't easily change your spouse either, which is why dating is important. ;)

@percyhanna that's where the analogy breaks down, for sure. A business is not a human being.

"Inspiration came from watching others struggle and seeing an opportunity to lighten their burdens" http://buff.ly/13gq6gQ

@percyhanna I understand part 1 of your question. And I think I understand part 2. ;)

@SaySandra yes, the impact on employees of "bad idea businesses" is important too. Can you tell me more?

RT @csherstan: @mijustin Why developers have side projects - http://bit.ly/15vtbhh

@csherstan dammit. I'm a bad friend! One thing you've done a good job at is meeting with people (church, etc…) and sharing your vision.

@danbenjamin what about the *Startup* Stooge? http://justinjackson.ca/starting-a-business-is-easy/

@kevinhorek ha ha. Thanks. Hopefully the content is good as well. There's a 5 minute audio version here: http://justinjackson.s3.amazonaws.com/starting-a-business.mp3

@csherstan yes. I agree. ;)

New blog post: "Starting a business is easy" http://buff.ly/12NAKjV Thoughts?

@csherstan getting noticed is step 1, evaluation is step 2. Yes, if you're not working to get noticed in step 1 you might get missed.

@csherstan there are no requirements to apply, but applying for a job *is* marketing. It's marketing yourself against other applicants.

@csherstan Related: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1748-forget-the-resume-kill-on-the-cover-letter ;)

@csherstan if these people are all strangers, how does a resume help me get a sense of their skill, passion, and what they're capable of?

@csherstan what criteria(s) do you think we should use instead?

@csherstan interesting! I think the trend is to look at a combination of GitHub profile + Stackoverflow profile + Side projects.

@architexture_ca just for music, or podcasts as well?

@MarkBennett wanted to follow-up on your questions about @sprintly - did you end up trying it out?

@SweatingCommas oh, winter driving is the worst. Definitely.

@PaulLetourneau for you: https://twitter.com/shock_monster/status/304231930168213505

@SweatingCommas I'm loving it!

@slhomme @kylefox thanks man. Part 2 is up now!

@garyvee you used to hang out at #fowa too! Epic!

"This is the first really big attack on Macs" http://buff.ly/YEcKsk

@kimlow_ yes! The other thing I'm trying is to look at people right in the eyes when I say those things, and really build a connection.

@JonManness thanks for sharing!

@kimlow_ Hey Kimberly! Thanks so much for the nice comment on my blog. I've found it takes two things: practice + focusing on others.

@kylefox but honestly, my faves: Wordpress, Tumblr. Throwww is cool but I don't use it: http://throwww.com

@ttimsmith Unreal. That person clearly has issues. First of all: you have a handsome head. Second: you are so nice you must be Canadian.

@ttimsmith POST IT!

I just saved @kylefox's life with one link: http://tldr.io

@kylefox is Pages where you make those beautiful PDFs you're always producing?

@bikemech_ca how long are you going to be there?

@jimmyjacobson but is there a way to link to a specific Wedgie? Do specific Wedgies have their own URLs?

RT @ttimsmith: Interview on Podcast Champion - http://timothybsmith.com/links/interview-on-podcast-champion

@chrisyour ha ha ha ha.

Best beer drinking song on the internet. http://buff.ly/12IDgHX

@jimmyjacobson Where do I find the URL for the landing page for my Wedgie?

Which would you click on? "Starting a business is easy" http://wedg.me/131WU1q **OR** "I'll take my pain upfront" http://wedg.me/XKXjxQ

@dakrasnov Thanks for the RT. ;)

@sweatingcommas interesting case-study on copywriting: http://nathanbarry.com/step-by-step-landing-page-copywriting/

"Despite the test results, I was feeling that we might be building the biggest clothing store in a nudist colony" http://buff.ly/15qzBOD

@kylefox this is interesting @founderfables (subversive, secret; this kind of marketing works)

@patio11 sounds very Japanese to me.

@robertwdesign no? ;) What's your poison?

@ttimsmith wholly moley. Look at this guy's podcast set-up: http://www.guysfromqueens.com/studio/

@fredguest Good tune. Thanks for sharing.

Great podcast: @chaseclemons & @SweatingCommas on working remotely, improving your writing, and great customer support. http://buff.ly/136kpCn

@kylefox myawesomefotojournal dot com is available! Sweet!

Just published a new episode of Podcast Champion: hear why @ttimsmith started his show @the_eastwing: http://podcastchampion.strongcaster.com/2013/02/18/ep03-tim-smith-of-the-east-wing-podcast/

"Stop calculating your bounce rate and start focusing instead on saying something people really care about." http://buff.ly/XkL4cH

@the_eastwing congrats!

@Skerry_ca ha ha. I like that tractor one. ;)

@thedannorris Thanks for responding to my @productpeopletv email. Have you seen this thread here on metrics? https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/302098460042199040

@jasonfried can a remote culture be built "from the bottom"? Or does it always need to come from the top?

@patio11 wow. I'd be interested in hearing what you learned / realized through by giving it up (once Lent is done).

@amcwilliam done son.

Thanks to all the #skieverest sponsors: @attridgeshop @SkyrideCycle and Source for Sports! cc @bikemech_ca

We've done #17 runs. 2 more to go before we've done the vertical height of Everest. #skieverest #silverstar http://instagr.am/p/Vztrw7jocY/

Riding the lift with @treadwaydave #skieverest http://instagr.am/p/VzqPNEjoW1/

Run #10 for #skieverest in a day!

Run #5 for #skieverest #silverstar http://instagr.am/p/VzO9P4joQk/

@amyhoy thanks for all your time today! I really appreciate it.

Looking forward to #skieverest tomorrow! I've already raised $1,000. http://skieverest.ca

@TrevanHetzel oh man. I have 4 kids, and I haven't been able to figure that out yet. ;) I just get grumpier and grumpier.

@ttimsmith @TrevanHetzel Interesting Tim! I was going to say PowerPress.

@joestump @kylefox what about LTV for landing page signups vs pricing page signups?

@joestump @RobotDeathSquad just seems so odd that folks wouldn't want to see pricing before signing up for free trial.
