• TechStars Lipdub Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:08:23
  Speaking of the slackers… Andrew recently unveiled the TechStars lipdub, which is an accurate portrayal of how we spent our days this summer. And by days, I mean one single hour. The beer is all product placement, that’s how TechStars stays afloat. It’s true. By true, I mean false. TechStars LipDub from [...]

• Breaking A Weight Loss Plateau Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:37:17
  At some point in your weight loss journey you will hit a plateau. This is especially true for those who are looking to lose those last 10 - 15 vanity pounds as your body prefers to hold on to that extra weight in case of an emergency (e.g., famine). The key to moving past a plateau [...]

Devver

• Yeah, that’s my cofounder Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:59:31
  Behold my favorite picture of this awesome TechStars summer Considering you can clearly see the Devver logo on Dan’s shirt, I think this needs to be in all our future marketing material. Nothing says “developers love Devver” like a developer doing a backflip in excitement. Awesome stuff.
