I'd love to start my own company, Bill. So far, though, everything I've set my own hand to in this life has been less than rewarding financialy and I don't have the nest egg to risk. It would be a stretch.

What I need is a partner with money. Financier. That would make it easier. I don't have the resources to go it alone though.

David-- Like I said, I'd need several of those gigs to make it a living. Just adding one doesn't help me much as it only stretches me thinner.

YC, I am not at liberty to say but I will point this post out to those who can so they can put it out there if they want.

David--

Let's step back for a moment. Why aren't you railing on Capital One or MBNA for offering interest free credit cards to students?

And also, under 29 does not mean college even though it was run in a school paper. It could have been run in The Village Voice as well.

On the merits, though, I agree with you... but then again, the world is full of predatory capitalistic practices. On the flip side, this is why capitalism works. People with resources meeting people with needs.

George--

With respect to b5, the bloggers are not paid anymore than what ad revenue from the site provides for.

Secondly, why is 10 hours a week the requirement for blogging properly? It can take 10 hours a week but it certainly doesn't have to. I churn out plenty of content across 5 blogs (it's been down lately but I have wonderful guest writers) and don't take 12 hours all week to do so.

Quality of writing is not a reflection of the amount of time put into it. It's a reflection of how well folks can think and form words. That has nothing to do with time.

I fail to see the connection between the item you quoted and racism.

It was David, but yeah ;)

I'm totally lost, Travis... What are you talking about? :p

Re: Is it just me?…

Aaron Brazell — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 20:16:41 -0000

The limitation of text. :sigh: :sigh:

Then you said, "Iâ€™d wager Aaron would raise that concern about any 22-year-old man sleeping in a high school!" indicating that I wrote the entry.

I was pointing out that David Nick wrote this entry. :-)

Yes. Indeed it can and should! :-)

"Oh wait, whatâ€™s that? You wouldnâ€™t think that of your son? So youâ€™ve made a snap decision instead based on what? Oh yeah â€¦"

Please. That just makes you sound like an idiot whether you're black or white. And you, George, are an idiot.

George--

Let me be clear with you. You're more than welcome to troll and you're more than welcome to foam at the mouth. This is my blog and I will say what I want (not that you ever questioned that). I'm just being clear.

Having said that, David is a highly respected member of this community and a regular writer. We do nto see eye to eye on everything and debate is common and encouraged. In fact it has gotten downright ugly at times.

Having said that, you are new. You do not have the clout to come in and disparage any member of this community unless you come with respect. Notice I did not say you had to agree. But you must respect the people here as you expect (as do I) people to respect you.

Let me set some ground rules on your comment here.
1. You are an idiot.
2. You draw the race card, you live with it. David di not play the race card and in fact this is a racially diverse audience. Shove it. The only proble I have with blacks are folks like you (who I presume is black) who make everything about race. There is only one word to describe you and your kind and I won't use it out of respect to my black friends and readers.
3.Liberal does not equal democrat as republican does not equal conservative. Coservative/liberal is ideology. Republican/Democrat is party affiliation. Get it right or don't make assumptions.

Bottom line. If you come in here blasting your mouth off you better believe I'm going to come to the defense of any one of my guys here.

Hey Darren,

Yeah I know it's scary. I've toyed with the idea for several years and always arrive at the conclusion that it's too much to take on. I still feel that way but I also look and see that there is no time like the present.

Bill--

There's so much in your comment that I don't really know what to address and what is rhetorical.

To answer the obvious questions, yeah I do freelance design work but unless you're going to refer clients to me my client well has dried up and I don't sell well. Another job for a partner.

my harsh reply isâ€¦boo hoo. sorry to hear about your failures. what a great excuse to give up. maybe you should have stuck with the navyâ€¦

To this I say fuck you. ;-) Sorry but I don't really need a harsh reply. I already do 4 jobs, only two of which are paid. The other one is my blogging which I make next to nothing on and the other is b5media who I lend my services to based on my friendships there since they are not in a position to pay me right now. Up until recently had turned into a major pro bono project.

Thanks Mike - unlike some others that will remain nameless, I followed 99% of what my designer said to do :)

Daniel: I wonder why I've never heard of you.
