In my post yesterday, I asked that you not pitch me one sided ventures. Today, I’m asking you to pitch me win win ventures. Let me start by saying, lot’s of programmers, designers, and other freelancers, are looking for great projects. They want to be part of something as big and bad as you do. Let’s work together to make that happen. I love bootstrapping. It’s the fastest way to get a company off the ground. Synergy, and a good plan, can overcome most obstacles. I love exploring new ideas.

You can buy a Vook for the computer desktop, which is still pretty cool, and watching the videos is much nicer on a large screen.Vooks will crush eBooks. Once authors and publishers...

I also like that...
