Rumi, Bukowski, Gibran, Poe.

One of my favourite poems is by Charles Bukowski and it has this wonderful recursive quality to it. It's called "Oh Yes".

there are worse things than being along but it often takes decades to realize this and most often when you do it's too late and there's nothing worse than too late.

Below is one of the best articles about the "truth" of exercising I have ever read.

In sum: Lift. Move. Regularly.

The lifting (building of muscle) is seemingly more important than anything else.

My social game (for the last 3 consecutive months) has brought in about $8000 - $10,000 a month. Pretty consistently averaging about $300 a day. Generally spend about 4 hours a month on it total. To note: The developer I work with spends much more time on it than I do; but it is not a focus / priority for either of us. It took about 18 months to get it to this point. It probably got to break even in roughly 5-6 months.

The (original) designer for Pinterest and Gumroad is also an engineer:

From my experience, the ad blocker is actually blocking the ad coming from the incoming server, so no impression is counted.

If you are using something that replaces the ad with another image (Add-Art for example), the underlying ad is likely being served.

The latter is good for the publisher, good for the user, not so good for the ad network or the brand / utility purchasing the ad space.

Short term, this site is helpful:

Sounds good. Happy to share in equity. Will confirm if he wants to be a founder and go from there. Cheers!

I suspect it happens quite often-- I understand it intimately.

Try Atomic PR-- the founder of Mint's says it was one of his most important decisions to use PR, and Mint used them. I've also read otherwise (in general) about PR, so tread softly. Good luck!

Seems like a promising idea, although I suspect it can only be U.S. based due to various medical governing bodies in various countries?

Apparently the MPAA is made up of a small group of individuals nobody really knows. They are generally shrouded in secrecy and have very odd subjective systems. They tried it with Howard Hughes 90 years ago, ultimately they must adapt.

I think we do need to talk with our neighbors, but I suspect doing it in person rather than online would strengthen your community connections more so.

Agreed -- tangible honest feedback from real people is invaluable. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the input. Agreed. I come from a design background so releasing something hacked together is a challenge for me. Furthermore, it really is a MVP-- there are definitely UX issues and functionality I would like to address/add, but resources are limited.

Frankly, this is a sort of hack job @pud would be happy about it. Had an idea, busting it out in a few days and seeing what happens.
