This is very cool. A way for me to filter by activity type would be helpful.

Re traffic, it is the lifeblood of any site. Couple thoughts:

- Buy banner or link on site(s) that attract the type of users you want. - Submit to bloggers who'd find this cool. - See if there's anyway you can create original content out of this and seo that. Thinking out loud here, perhaps snapshots of what happened in different areas per day, and then seo those pages. But that'll take time to start building traffic.


Hi Thanks.

Yea an activity filter is one of the features and also a daily/weekly email of events happening in your area right to your inbox.

I agree on buying some eyeballs but right now I'm not plugged into this community enough to see those opportunities. I wouldn't know where to start. Like how do I find communities that revolve around solving the boredom problem, besides reddit (which I've done)/digg/4chan/etc?


Have a daily practice which is non-negotiable - as core to your day as eating. James Altucher's post is a good roadmap:

For me, it's getting up early, thinking about things I'm grateful for while I drink my coffee, then working out, then meditating, then hitting the day.


Very helpful stuff in there for entrepreneurs. What I love about James' writing is that it's all from hard-earned wisdom over a period of years.

I've personally printed out a few of his posts and keep them on my desk at home to review occasionally.


Danielle is awesome. I've known her since her beginning at Twilio. Worth reading.


One never knows. It's like predicting the stock market for the next 10 years. If you really knew, you'd not be writing articles, but making yourself wicked rich.

Anytime is a good time to be a founder. There's always a need for something better. Technology and use of technology is always evolving.


Dude, it's written to be humorous and he's sharing the experience of the time.

Aside, I enjoyed this blog post of yours, good reminder. http://denis.papathanasiou.org/?p=438


Hmmm... maybe, but take a look at the comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2134720 I tend to agree with Colin Percival and others.


Just looked at the comments, still like the post. There's sharing of experience, what he did wrong and why, humor, and lessons learned.


We agree to disagree. Despite his occasional sensible points, I can't say I respect him.


I disagree. I've taken the time to read all his blog posts, each one. I've found that level of value from his blog. What he does that's beyond most bloggers out there - he freely shares how he's screwed up, what's he's learned and is learning. The guy is smart! It's refreshing and I've learned a lot from reading his blog.


This is simply awesome. Thanks for putting it together!


thanks, tell your friends! :)


Actually, the author is turning 40 :)

But, he is single, doesn't have kids, and has done the travel, nightclubs, sex with many women thing, so using that experience.

If one thinks about it, none of us know the final day, we just live like it's far away in never never land. In a previous career, I worked in a level one trauma ER, and in four years, watched hundreds, if not close to a thousand, people die. Makes one think. None of those people woke up that morning, got ready for work, and got in their cars thinking this'd be their last day.

So that thought went into this as well. It was an off the head list, more of how I would live, and more importantly, how I should live whether I have 35 days or 70 years left.

I'm sure if I was to do the exercise next year, there'd be new items, some from current list might go. But that's the beauty of life. We grow, we change, we evolve.

It is a good exercise for anyone to do, regardless of age and impending birthdays. I highly recommend it.


Very honest comment, liked it.
