The Validation Generation →
We are the Validation Generation. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Dribbble and endless other sites are powered by intoxicating feedback loops. We don’t lack for confidence, but it’s a shallow confidence built on the shifting sands of social approval, a temporary high. The pursuit of ego gratification is addictive, but unsatisfying. I know this from experience, from counting...

@Moore →

For those of you who are not following me on Twitter, I promise you’ll see virtually zero duplicate posts from my Tumblr blog.  I like to keep both streams fresh and unique! If...

Build it for you and scratch your own itch. Worry... →
Again, if you build an application that solves a problem you are having chances are that it will also help other people. You are the customer, you are the person with the problem and you know exactly what is needed to solve it or make your life less painful using technology. One of the main reasons I see people wanting to become entrepreneurs is to be able to make their own decisions and to be...

Hidden habits of ineffective people →
All five of these habits are easy to pick up but will squeeze out every bit of your effectiveness.  The first negative habit really stands out, and I have to constantly remind myself to create more than I consume.

Watching this video makes...

Wordnik - All The Words →
“Hey I have this great idea for a new startup!  We’re going to launch an online dictionary.” What would be your first though? “Yeah right buddy. Good luck with that.” or “You know that might work.” Wordnik proves that even the most crowded ideas still have massive room for improvement.  When you look up a word on Wordnik they will return definitions from multiple sources, example usage...

Designers Are The New Drivers Of American... →
This growing desire among designers to bring their user focus, strategic vision, iterative methodologies, and propositional thinking to the still-geeky, tech/engineering-centric world of startups promises to be transformative and explosive.
