I really like this idea. This is a lot like something I was looking to do before, but never really materialized. I hope @daniel will consider this.

Ben Paster started a new conversation So I was making a slide deck.. August 21st @ 11:14 pm

Over the past few weeks, I've been making a slide deck for my current project, Kazzly. I'm trying to have it be extra shiny and spiffy (read: well designed) and very easy to follow (think Apple style, only a…

Ben Paster replied to The end of my project. Over a year ago

I always feel kind of weird after a project ends, whether it was a success or failure. Here's the good news, you almost definitely learned something, and that's awesome. Now you can take these skills forward and use them in…

Ben Paster replied to Amazon Payments Over a year ago

This is definitely the type of thing you'd want to speak with a lawyer about. You can form any type of legal entity in which you are the President and have one of your parents as the CFO. This way,…

I see one specific feature that Propelly could really capitalize on (to compete with Gumroad, at least for now). Propelly's payment system is driven through PayPal. To some of us, this might seem like a really small detail, but I…

Ben Paster started a new conversation Facebook Goes Public, But What… Over a year ago

Facebook is the first company that I can think of that is completely integrated with most of our lives. Their system knows what we like to do, when we like to do it and what we do next. For the…

Someone to tell you when you're doing something stupid. No application can replace that.

To answer the question directly, I couldn't live without the iOS browsers. Sounds simple, but that's where I do the majority of my learning recently and…

yeah, does NYC even have an outside? Who cares what the weather is?

I'm only going if Sean decides to show up this time.

Ben Paster replied to Any good Start-up blogs out there? Over a year ago

Don't forget about the Teens in Tech blog. It's not always about specific startups, but it's good info all around.

disclaimer: I blog here :)

Ben Paster replied to Looking for beta testers... Over a year ago

This looks cool for sure, shoot me an email at ben@strikeinternet.com

Yeah, I'm excited to see it too :)

BUBBLES!!!!!!!!

Tyler, it's a really interesting point you bring up that a slick design isn't essential for success. I tend to disagree. Design is the same as usability in most cases and in companies the UI and UX teams work very…

Alberto, your response was great! I'm looking forward to seeing what others have to say :)

Ben Paster started a new conversation Why The %^&# is ___________ successful? Over a year ago

Watch out, I'm doing it again! I'm writing another Teens in Tech blog post, and I'm going to use Connect to generate some of the content. I want a lot of voices in this conversation, so I'm going to make…

Ben Paster replied to Should we add a WYSIWYG Editor? Over a year ago

yes because using html for posting is a pain

Ben Paster replied to What do you listen too? Over a year ago

I'm more of a Pandora guy, but I'm lazy, so here's a screen shot of the stations I have right now.

I don't believe we're already looking at next year! Crazy...

I am working on a couple services which will likely launch early next year, so hopefully that will go well and it will be some fun. I also need to…

Ben Paster replied to What is education? Over a year ago

I see the value in a well rounded education, especially an 'alternative' education with "thought" classes that use open discussion, writing and art as the primary cirriculum. I also think (especially in college) the networking opportunities (if you create them)…

Jeremy - I think street smarts does kind of imply at the very least being aware of your surroundings, while something like life intelligence encompasses networking and business skills. Going to try to think of a good phrase for this…

Ben Paster started a new conversation Do Grades and Standardized Tests… Over a year ago

As I was raking leaves this morning, (go New England!) I was thinking about all the crap I have to do this year. I'm going to meet with a tutor on Monday who will show me the ins and outs…
