Last week 37signals released Rework, their awesome new business book. I’ve long been a fan of theirs – I subscribe to their blog, follow David and Jason on Twitter, watch videos of their presentations at conferences, subscribe to their podcast, and have read their self-published web app book Getting Real many times over.

I Just Devoured Rework
Programming or Design – Which Comes First?
Over the past few years, Mike and I have come up with a pretty good design and development process. I think the new Detailed Image site is proof of that. I mean, we built a pretty awesome e-commerce platform from scratch in less than five months while still performing most of our day to day [...]
Outsourcing Large Scale Web Development to India – a real life example [guest post]
This is an anonymous guest post by a good friend of mine who recently outsourced a very large web project to a team of developers in India. Throughout the entire project I’ve been thoroughly fascinated by the concept. He was kind enough to take time out of his busy day to write a post about [...]
Boosting and Chunking
A few months ago I received a request to review a new book. For the most part, I’ve stopped accepting books to review, but this one was different.

We reply with something to the extent of “our team built the platform in-house for solely our own use”. If I get the [...]
Changes in Work, Sleep, Learning, & More
In looking back at posts from previous years, I realized that I used to post more frequently about all of the other things I think go into running a business and being an entrepreneur. Stuff like sleep and happiness and work ethic. As I’ve slowed a bit with my posting, it seems like [...]
Announcing LockerPulse – Our Next Venture
Yesterday Mike and I finally put the finishing touches on the splash page for LockerPulse, our next web venture that we plan on launching May 1 if all goes according to plan. As the site says, we’re promoting it as “an innovative new way to stay connected to your teams”
The story behind how LockerPulse [...]
Two Great Talks Every Entrepreneur Should Watch
I’m not really much of a conference guy. Even if I had the money and time to fly all over the world to attend tech conference after tech conference, I don’t think I’d do it.
In terms of interaction, I’ve met tons of great young business owners from around the world online using [...]
