Thanks! Our primary value prop is end to end management of the back office for running these events. We run close to 200 events/year and have been dogfooding it internally for the past year with our team and it's solved a number of critical issues for us. The bonus is the vendor discovery piece - we currently have a network in NJ/NY/PA of close to 10K vendors (farmers, makers, food purveyors) who work with us so it was an easy way to seed 50% of the marketplace with customers.

I agree - A family plan would be a no-brainer - my kids love playing with the free tier on ChatGPT but always seem to hit their daily rate limit right in the middle of doing something important.

Check out the Bigger Pockets Real Estate Podcast- imho- it’s one of the best produced podcasts out there and worth listening to even if you have minimal interest in real estate investing.

They are also publishers and their books are great primers depending on where in RE you’re looking learn.

Thanks for reading - I appreciate it!

Two comments on this point

1) I did preface that this is a loose framework that I run with and it's not set in stone - if I need more sleep on a particular day, I take it.

2) While all human bodies vary with their sleep needs, I find that I function best between 6 and 7 hours per night. While I can run on less at times, I do need to catch up. I find myself less focused when I start approaching the 8 hour mark.

It's not really a side project but I spent today rebuilding the website for our asbury park, nj based coworking space - http://cowerks.com - would love some feedback/copy editing.

disclaimer - it is built on squarespace.

Re:Apple - Think Twice on Monday December 03, 2012 @11:13AM (#4866042)
I bought the Macbook Pro retina back over the summer and was a little upset when a small dead pixel cluster appeared on the display after about a month of use.

I brought it back to the apple store (i did not purchase applecare). I was told that this was happening in about 1 our of every 40 MBP retinas and they happily replaced the display in less than 24 hours.

I'm not implying that my situation is "unique/new/ particularly note-worthy" but it is just as antidotal as yours and ended with a positive outcome.

I completely agree. It's painful to develop in and painful to use from a client perspective. I used it for some client projects a few years back and ended up just migrating them to spree after getting tired of client calls every time they attempted to update a product listing.
