Don't let it get you too discouraged- Leah doesn't last very long with any one project so you'll be fine in a few months.

It's got a ISBN along with the name.

If you want to develop for iOS you have to use a Mac.

Perfect link!
Take today/tonight to make a game plan. Identify companies on that list that you like, map them, and go out and talk to them. If you're "in the area" it's really easy to pickup a few coffee meetings and eventually one of them will lead to something bigger.
When you meet with them be completely up front about your situation in the US, but DO NOT dwell on why the last job offer failed. Talk about their company/products/space- show that you've done your homework. That should lead to discussions on your passions/experience and if you've researched them and they have a position open, great! If not it's perfectly ok to ask them about other companies looking for someone with your talents.
Edit Xtify is hiring in NYC and they're pretty awesome! http://www.xtify.com/jobs

Agreed! Was more impressed with the nav, but that's probably because I'm on old hardware/slow connection so the slideshow was very sluggish for me.

Is there a link to this specific anecdote?

It says it was headed to a scrap yard in Italy.
castewart | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where exactly does wikimedia spend $28M+ this year?
Can we assume that Mozilla's software development is more technical than Wikimedia's software development? I think the only thing they have in common is that they're both non-profits.

We don't discuss PR on HN. Public relations is beneath PG.
castewart | 14 years ago | on: CodeSprint: Apply to multiple startups simultaneously
Why would you want to apply for that many startups, simultaneously? Seems to me like they would all be working with wildly different technology solving wildly different problems...
I don't know about you, but I want people excited working with me.

Awesome work guys! Keep at it and I would love to play around with tutorials in the future.

Does anyone have a link to the discussion about Amazon doing more tech-related disruption than Google?

"...based on the evidence in this report ,as well as information we have decided not to release, we believe Chaoda may face delisting."
Read: this report is bullshit.

How do we know Groupon isn't anon?

LOL. You know what the riots in Cairo were about, right?
castewart | 14 years ago | on: Obama's job aid plan - $10,000 to $13,000 in assistance for entrepreneurship
That's not true at all. SBA and SCORE offices help entrepreneurs all over the US get outside funding. Silicon Valley may have the largest numbers, but it doesn't mean the rest of the country isn't investing...

I've been using m.twitter.com for awhile since I have dialup here in the mountain house. New twitter wouldn't even load beforehand :(

LUXr...LOL.

I like the idea. Did you borrow inspiration from www.tryruby.org ?
