Thanks for bringing us up, Jared! One thing I'd emphasize is that our approach is to use technology to empower lawyers to offer better advice and service, not to replace them. There's a lot in immigration that can be automated, but the difference between a good and a great lawyer is meaningful in many scenarios.

O is definitely a great way to go if you can get it. What is your hesitation to apply?

You also didn't mention how you're here now - are you just on a tourist visa?

Would it be possible to allow custom post paths? I'm looking to move off of posterous and I'd like to preserve the link structure domain.com/title.

When you charge people $.10 for minimal amount of data transfer you should be losing sleep because of the inevitability of your products disruption. When it actually occurs, years after it should have, you will get no sympathy from me.

Will this handle what you're considering? https://github.com/kripken/speak.js Couldn't tell if you wanted something for your pages or something to submit pages to and receive audio...

Great article. What really strikes me about this is that we just saw Google's new glass video - a device in which search is primarily implied. Google knows search is dumb and wants to fix it, primarily through external devices (android) that are context aware and have access to incredible amounts of personally relative data. They can't kill their money cow, not directly, and haven't shown us how they'll monetize products without relying on ads, so they'll have to leave search alone, at least for now.

I've been using betterment for (non 401k) index fund exposure. They'll help guide your investment strategy, rebalance between funds automatically and allow you to shift between stocks and bonds (both indexes) as you please.
