caterpillarcowboy:
A couple of days ago, I had a phone call with a partner of an early stage VC firm whose portfolio is filled with successful startups you’ve heard of. Halfway through our conversation, they told me: “We only invest in companies that believe they can be worth $1 billion dollars. If you think you’d be happy with $50-100 million, you’re not the right company for us. The...

Ok, so, Billy convinced me to open Forrst up for a little bit — that means no invite code required, just sign up and start posting. If you’re a designer or developer, I’d love for you to try Forrst out; it’s still very young, but you’ll have a chance to not only be an early user of the service (and get the username you want!), but also be influential in its direction. I’d love for you to...

I’ve run pitchfork.tumblr.com for almost a year now. I had several posts up and I followed 28 people with the account. All my posts are now gone and my address has been changed to pitchfork1.tumblr.com. Where my blog once stood now stands the official Tumblr for Pitchfork Media Inc. Watch out, Soup, I hear Campbell’s is gunning for you next.

LaunchPad will be a mixed-use community art space in New York City where people can hang out, talk about ideas, and start creative projects.

oliviaisferosch:
I am trying to buy new ink for my printer that I use to print directly onto discs.
The black ink must be purchased from epson and is $20 for the cartridge. You can get a multipack of the colored ink for $77 on amazon.
To actually buy a new printer, with all the inks in it? $99.
Also: Razor blades and razors.
I used to just buy a new printer whenever I...
