After a certain amount of money made per year, it’s almost always cheaper to just make a business and pay yourself through it. Unless you’re making so little that you expect a tax rebate, and any additional money spent just goes against your gross. I’ve been there and it sucks, but now that I’ve got all my earnings…

First, this is awesome Alan. Now I know how I’ll be spending my free time for the next 3 years.

Biggest issue people have noted on Amazon directly (comments on the store card + Ratings) is that the bank it uses screws customers on payments, percentages...really anything. Have you seen that happen? Because I’ve been using the Amazon Visa and love it, but have stopped from signing up for this card because of the…

I live in LA and the most expensive movie tickets here are $16 for non-3D. Most everywhere else is $10. No reason to spend that much I don’t care if you live in Manhattan.

I read the title and immediately had this negative urge against it and wanted to comment before reading. Then I read it and saw that the message is...welp, wrong. “Spend less than you earn” is simple, but it’s also ambiguous. The correct phrase: “Don’t spend what you don’t have.”

$20 says listerine wins because everyone uses it, not because it’s actually the best. Just the longest-lived and most marketed.

Updog’s my favorite. Gotta love Updog.

Agreed. Too bad there's always someone who not only has to have their point heard, but then other people who have to let them finish and still others who absolutely have to respond. AKA neverending and unproductive meetings due to egos.

As someone who's worked in startups all my life...anyone offering startup advice is almost always wrong.

Dammit. While I'm not on all Gawker sites (normally Giz and LH), the community has proven to be excellent almost all the time and never needed any system to defer comments from appearing immediately. On the one hand it's great to see Gawker grow, but the clear fault in that is the good always comes with the bad.

What's worked for me is to pitch real publications. Pitch them interested stuff, write up interesting stuff of your own anywhere, and prove that you've got the skill to write for a bigger site. Then you'll be able to grow in the industry. Otherwise, you're working for your own site and that's equally about advertising…

The Audible.com deal isn't for new accounts only (unless it changed from yesterday), it's for non-active accounts as well. Mine was non-active and the code worked just fine. Hell yeah, 3 books for $6!

Couldn't the same logic be put with just about any task, like brushing your teeth, taking a shower/washing up, hanging up the towel, etc? Seems like if the bed is the one thing you have to do that's a task in need of doing to make you do anything else, then everything else that needs doing isn't as important. Which of…

Wait wait...I'm not a daily Android user, run off my iPhone...but when I'm on my Android phone now thanks to how Hangouts accepts SMS, why not just use Hangouts? It does basically everything, is built into gmail and chrome, and even keeps a searchable record.

I've been using Acompli for the past few months during their beta, and it's a really great app. Not perfect, mind you; I still prefer using the standard Mail client on iPhone and Sunrise for calendar, though Acompli is well designed, simple, and easy to use. Considering that they combine calendar and email, which…

This is the reason I'd never have a yard sale myself. Always sell online. Trash/junk is always worth something to someone...and limiting it to your location is a good way to not get the best bang for your buck.

Hipster, y'know. =\

I don't think it's that complicated, but if you define creativity that way, it will be. The way I define creativity is, I think, simpler: the ability to connect differing concepts in order to create new ones. And I think that's fairly accurate, because creativity is really the process of taking two or more things that…
