There is, it's called github ;).
More seriously, we don't feel the need to update our status every day. pushing code is our status, isn't it?

Very cool that these guys are from Canada and friends with someone I know. Reminds me of PGs ambitious startup ideas, the more ambitious and far fetched the less competition as people write off what is possible before they even begin.

Thanks for your guidetoyc site was really useful in getting down to the stuff that matters :)
Either way things are going to move forward! Difference between Entrepreneur (finding solutions to problems) and Wantrepeneurs (wanting answers handed to them).

Yup! Was a great process trying to cut the thing down (easy when your excited to blabber on). Also died laughing making the video. See what happens next, "IF YOUR GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO..."

I commented earlier about 4HWW from Tim Ferris, but one post from the his blog has continued to resonate and help me through the ups and downs, especially when you feel like you have hit the wall.
It is actually about a letter written by Seneca a famous Stoic philosopher. Take 30mins to read, will be worth it. Stoic philosophy in general has really helped me build a framework/value system.
Excerpt: "It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested."

Great suggestion in regards to 4HWW, it definitely adds perspective and the concept of the mini-retirements is great.
