How to make a fun website
Have you come across any good tutorials or resources on making fun web designs?I spent quite a few months this year learning how to setup a site with Jekyll and S3, which was nice to get away from Wordpress which had a lot of elements that distracted me.Now i'm ready to sharpen the saw a bit on areas like animation, funky layout and more.

I dont know if you call it a language since it's based on Java, but Processing seems to fit the bill for this.

time and time again the trusty pomodoro philosophy is the most effective. just commit to ten minutes. just ten minutes. the act of starting blows away all your uncertainties.

here's a tip for you: because twitter will delete your account if you deactivate it for more than a month, you can use a strong password generator to lock yourself out of the account to try taking a break.

the problem is some things are very hard to moderate, so they are better off being cut entirely.

i haven't gone back, it's been probably at least half a year, and there is no urge to return. twitter is nearly impossible for me to leave though.

it's the damn weekend that screws up these good routines though (curse you leisure!). one thing that could help is to give up drinking, then you wouldn't have to sleep in as much.

yes but contrary advice says that a small snack is ok because hunger pangs disrupt your sleep.

i stopped doing the lessons because of a lot of crashes. things like including print statements would cause Chrome to invoke my physical printer.
i am curious how far the people who signed up during this big spurt are getting through the program, and if it can be evaluated against competitors like Treehouse?
overall i am a big fan of competition in the e-learning space, because it's a topic that hasn't receive much attention in the past (Kahn Academy is likely to thank).

you can research the concept of "room tone" which is prevalent in film sound design. when it's not done properly, you will hear the dialogue cut in and out. you don't always need it though, it depends on the project.

thank you. i actually came up with this question after reading that book (which was fantastic).
does this process apply to everything, or is there some sort of 'phenomena' where an idea can be highly successful without any supporting evidence leading up to launch?
Testing ideas that are unconventional
I am researching the customer development and lean startup process. I think there are a lot of great concepts in this model. One thing i am curious about is how do you test the MVP of an unconventional idea?For example i think about an app like twitter - no one really thought it would take off the way it did but it just had something you can't really research ahead of time with google keywords.
