Yea, I can see how that could be a problem. Do you think I should just have a solid color background? Do you think the clouds are too busy?

Over the past couple years, I have built an online educational tool that combines a dictionary with flashcards and uses games to help users learn.

This is actually taken a bit out of context in you watch the full interview. This response was to the question of what experiences from Digg are you taking with you to your next startup and what are you going to do differently.

Reverse non-disclosure for potential employer

I am a ruby on rails developer that has some sites currently in private beta. I am looking for some part time word and wondering, what would be the best way to protect myself legally and allow a potential employer to view my work? Is there some sort of non-disclosure agreement that I could have them sign?

Re:Ask HN: Can your website be different than your LLC name? on Monday March 22, 2010 @08:06PM (#1211778)
Ok, thanks a lot. In my example(www.newsite.com and my LLC is CoolCorp), what would be the correct wording? Something like: "NewSite © 2010 is an affiliate of CoolCorp LLC."?

You could get two other friends and be rock, paper, scissors. Then go around battling each other with character driven dialog. For example, if you're rock and you fight paper and lose, you would scream, "Why does this keep happening?! What does he have that I don't have?!?!"

Regardless of thinking speed, the more you know, the better you think.

Pretty cool. I'm curious, did you use the Flickr API to process the flickr url and get the thumbnail? or did you scrape it?
