TweetUPDATE: Note, as mentioned below, most of these usernames have been taken away from me. I can not help you get them, so please don’t contact me about them. If they are in a ‘suspended’ state, you can likely get them from Twitter. Otherwise, if they are being used, then they likely were already taken [...]

TweetI go for homeruns, not singles. I want to knock it out of the park. The problem with that is homeruns are very high risk. The chance of a homerun is significantly lower than simply getting on first base. I don’t want to stop dreaming for the homerun, but more training is in order to [...]

Over 3 years of ideas and executions on various ideas (that have since been executed themselves — in an electric chair)…. have all come full circle into this. We’re not ready to show you it yet, but we’re busy hacking away on it and I’m pumped. [...]

He questioned whether Facebook, Craigslist or even Skype are considered start-ups (as they mentioned these companies in that article as being startups). In my opinion, Skype and Craigslist are no longer startups, they [...]

TweetAll, In this album ‘Recovery’ he lets it all out. This verse sums it up: Hit my bottom so hard I bounced twice, This time around it’s different, Them last 2 albums didn’t count, Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushin’ ‘em out. I know most of you probably don’t like him. You’re [...]
