The Email Game: So Awesome it Inspired a Love Letter @EmailGame

jesswilliamson — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:24:18 +0000

Getting back to zero inbox has never been so surprisingly fun. I experienced a new high on Wednesday night, but it was not the usual email sweeping ordeal. It was the enjoyment of clearing my inbox with a smiley face, automatic timer, and best of all, scoring points! Yes, the adrenaline rush of this exciting [...]

Today’s blog comes from Springboard grad Kaila Colbin, on a code of conduct we can all be proud to live by. Article originally published at OnlineSPIN here, but I think it is worth spreading the message as far as we can… ——— Tonight, I am a virgin. I’m in attendance at Kiwi Foo: the New [...]

Happy to see it’s warming up! So, think we can all safely step away from the fireplace and venture to some cool events this week (ie. Joel Spolsky!). Also you can check out our own PlayMob speaking Tuesday night at a fun gaming event here ;-) As it’s a beautiful Monday, we turn to Kes & Dimitar with StartupDigest London to [...]

Some People Only Exist as a Horrible Warning to Others

jesswilliamson — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:28:47 +0000

I’ve been thinking a lot about failure today. Failboat London was a terrific event last night, and though I did not succeed at arriving on time (see what I did there?), I really enjoyed the stories told and lessons shared. There is a lot to be gained from watching other people fall flat on their [...]

I am guessing that exceptionally, the [...]

Otherwise treat yourself to some chocolate, cake, or whatever you’re [...]
