Bootstraps are a version of the lean startup with a 37-signals-esque twist, i.e a lean bootstrap. The goal of a lean bootstrap is to run in the black as early as possible, preferably from day 1. Boostrappers don’t need or want outside capital for the most part, and they are always conscious of the need to validate that they can actually make money doing whatever they are doing. Basically, if you (metaphorically) placed Rework and The Lean Startup in a blender, turned it to high, then ran the pur …

Dungeons & Dragons. I've been playing since around 1980 and have played and DM'd all the versions so far. Everyone of our gamer's is busy with work and families, so I thought we would use Meetup here to make scheduling and general information for our games easier. We are currently running a 2.0 campaign that has a few modifications. For instance we are using the more modern armor class system (no THACO), and we only use the classic races/classes (no Teiflings, Goliaths, etc...). We usually meet …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a challenge since even the chattier types of us tend to be more quiet overall in new social situations. We don't mind awkward silences and tend to "observe" others for awhile first before joining in. Or, we don't fit into the typical "extrovert" social cliques because the idea of meeting others at ba …
