“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did...”

Giving it Away: How Free Music Makes More Than... →
derekwebb:
Music matters. It’s so integral and pervasive in our culture that it almost feels invisible. It’s even hard to imagine walking into almost any store without hearing music overhead. Culture provides a constant soundtrack to our lives. So it’s no wonder there’s so much discussion and debate…

Matt Shampine: Five months at WeWork Labs →
mattshampine:
WeWork Labs is approaching its five month anniversary, so I thought it’d be fun to take a moment and look back.
For those who don’t know about WeWork Labs, it is an incubator/accelerator/co-working hybrid that Adam, Jesse, and I co-founded in April because of a need that we saw for early…

On the afternoon of February 14, 1876 a man named Elisha Gray filed a patent caveat for the technology that we now call the telephone. In his laboratory on the outskirts of Chicago Elisha Gray had been working for at least a year on his idea.
Unfortunately for Gray…
The morning of that very…

My Year in Review
This past year was a time of steady growth for me – both personally and well as in my work.
Melissa and I settled ourselves in Williamsburg, Brooklyn after having moved to the city in November of 2009. Moving north from South Carolina at just the beginning of the harshest season of the year added an extra jolt of adventure.
Melissa started a job on January 1, 2010 as an administrative...

When will Pulley be launching?
Pulley will be publicly released on Monday, October 4th. On this date, we will begin charging to use Pulley, and you will no longer need an invite to sign up. This is also a special date for us, as Pulley will share a birthday with its sister-product, Big Cartel. We didn’t plan for that to happen, but it’s a pretty cool (nerdy?) coincidence.
“I think a lot of the problems we’ve been experiencing come from the fact that no...”
