    The one time I am hoping Vigilante is wrong… For my sake atleast!

    Really, it's all about execution. I can't speak for Vig, but I would imagine that he was suggesting that if you get into the speaker importing business, you're going to have a hard time. Ideally when you're going the importing route, you're leveraging another company's design from another...

    Profit from 3d Printing?

    NVaz is on the right track. Stop thinking about comes out of the printer and start thinking about what goes into the printer. As these things continue dropping in price and increasing in popularity, it is unlikely that people will need or want to go to a specialty shop to have their items...

    Kill or support my idea

    IDEA 
    It could work, but IMO you're going to struggle getting users to pay to upload per photo/video, at least until it is a proven concept. If you operate more like youtube and offer profit sharing based on views/likes/shares/etc, you might have an easier time.

    Whats your favorite beer?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Love it. The craft scene in MN is exploding. I can't keep track of all of the brewery startups around here. A couple local big players have been doing a fantastic job at getting liquor laws changed to enable even more growth for the craft scene and as a result, several tap houses have been...

    Whats your favorite beer?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I didn't drink at all until I was 21 and never thought that I'd start thereafter either. I tried little sips of various beers/wines/cocktails and always thought it was disgusting, but somehow I was still curious. "There has to be something to it," I thought. Then I realized that the majority...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    Is this for an injection mold? The prices don't seem ridiculous from what I've seen. For instance, I just finished a project at my slowlane job for an automotive lubrication controller about the size of a hockey puck. It consists of two injection molded pieces that click together and pinch-hold...

    Crypto Coins?

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Great post. I pretty much agree with everything you've said here. It's been very exciting watching the progression of Bitcoin and it's great seeing new people get interested in it. However, I just recommend leaving the speculating to the speculators. :) Thanks for that link too. I hadn't heard...

    Crypto Coins?

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Why did you get into Bitcoins? Because you support the idea behind it, or because you want to make money from "investing" in them? IMO, if you like the idea of Bitcoin, trade it for goods and services and stop trying to play the markets.

    Camera Suggestions

    A good resource for all things photography is www.fredmiranda.com. When starting out, most of my gear was purchased from other members on there. Very fair prices compared to new and/or craigslist. Also, if you're actually planning on using your iPhone, camera flashes are not going to work...

    Camera Suggestions

    Not sure if your response was directed at me or not, but what I posted is not a light box. They are standard DSLR strobes attached to light stands that accept umbrellas. I've used this setup at weddings for posed shots, reception photos, dance photos, indoor, outdoor, etc. The umbrellas detach...

    Camera Suggestions

    Firstly, there have been several threads on this topic in the past, so you may want to run a few searches. That said, what is your budget? What kind of products will you be photographing? Big? Small? It really all comes down to the lighting. With a solid set of video lights (constant...

    Monetary Goals (Do They Work?)

    Agreed. Also, realize that what you may view as an "end goal" (or "event" as MJ says) today, in fact really has no end at all. Rather, it is the culmination of days, weeks, months, and years of building a daily practice, or process that keeps pushing you forward. So then, keep the big...

    Monetary Goals (Do They Work?)

    "Start a successful business" is not a goal, and it is definitely not an intermediate goal. It's not measurable or definable. At what point is it successful? I suggest breaking your "end goal" into smaller and smaller chunks and then specifically defining each chunk as a separate goal...

    Caffeine Poll

    HOT! 
    Up until a few months ago, I would only ever have caffeine maybe once a week. Those were the good days when a single cup of coffee really woke me up. I've since slid into the habit of averaging more like 1-2 servings daily, and sometimes more. (1 serving being a can of soda or cup of coffee) I...

    To lease or not to lease...

    When it comes down to it, you really have two factors to consider when making your decision. 1) The mathematical factor. Simply run the numbers on your options. At the end of the day (or week/month/year/etc), how much time/money do you spend in the lease scenario vs the buy scenario? Try a...

    Am I choosing the wrong major?

    First, I would just like to reiterate what others have said regarding Computer Science vs Software Engineering. If your goal is to learn programming, definitely make sure you follow the software engineering route rather than computer science. Now a little background about me. I picked...
