I want to make calls like a boss on a phone with enough heft to slam on the unworthy (i.e. not a cellphone). Probably the only thing I miss about the old day job. Can anyone recommend a good setup for a business phone for the home office? I've been using Google Voice + Skype + wireless headset...

So I just quit my job at an ad agency because I couldn't stand it anymore. When you hate every minute of 12+ hours a day of your life, something has to give. Worst of all, the work was making me loathe marketing, and this was the whitest of the white hat shit. Feels great to be rid of it all...

Any kick ass designers in Chicago? Have a project / business concept I'd love to talk to you about. Drop me a PM.

Any of you heroes run Linux on your workstation? I ask because for the first time in all my 13 years of running Windows, I just got the goddamn piss kicked out of my system by a virus. Shit, I was never in love with Windows but it always worked and seemed easier than dealing with...

So I think I'm missing some fundamental principle of software design. In an effort to build in better handling of errors and unexpected results, I keep finding myself burying my code in deeper and deeper sets of nested conditionals.

I want to implement a scrolling gallery script (flash, DHTML, JS, whatever) that allows me to display a single row of 4-5 pictures, much like the auctiva "view my other auctions" gallery here, with the arrows on each side to let you see more. Can't seem to find anything like this, anyone know of...

I want to learn how to create scripts (in PHP) that can interact with websites like a human would, such as installing and configuring Wordpress or submitting something to a social site. I can do some basic scraping with cURL, but I'm not sure where to begin. Can anyone point me in the right...

I'm trying to figure out what the value of a top ranking ad spot is besides traffic volume. Do they convert better? Do page 1 ads have higher CTRs and conversion rates than page 2 ads of the same position on screen? Otherwise, with everything else held equal, upping your bid to increase rank...
