I wanted to upvote this twice.

that was my first thought, too.

Really nice tool, though!

liveshops_ | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: Hacking airplane headphones

Love it.

The part that was omitted:

"Hey, do you have some tweezers I can borrow?" "Tweezers? Um, no. I have an extra pair of headphones, though. It looks like you're having trouble with yours." "Oh, uh, no thanks--I just need some tweezers."

The reason this is so cool is because it's a perfect example of problem solving, and how our determination kicks in when we have an innovative solution. Even if that means skipping over the easiest or the most common solution.

Just finished Grit by Angela Duckworth. Great insights for entrepreneurs/start-upers

This is what he focuses on in his portion of "how to start a startup" on YouTube. It's cool to watch him talk about it. Great concept.

This one has been on my list. I'm starting it next!

I totally agree with the status quo comment.

Change and innovation are so hard with these huge issues.

I've been hobby-trying to learn swift on Udemy for a few months. I'm going to try this out. (I'm 35!).

liveshops_ | 9 years ago | on: Five Years of Drought

I like the optimist's drought map! It's like "the drought is half full.

It would be interesting to track the effects of the drought, specifically in California. I feel like a map like that would light up the entire US.

This is awesome. I love quick, succinct communication.

I have thought of early state funding as more "who you know," and it's good know I can email people!
