How to create a kick-ass product? What I learned...
Before we begin I want to say that if you have the time, buy and read the book. It’s great source of how-to and how-not-to do a business. It breaks a lot of business myths and builds stable foundation for creating a product the right way.
I’ll write down the key points I found intriguing as a reference to which I can come back. Hopefully it can be helpful to you too.

How to implement an awesome JavaScript JSONP API...
Recently I was given a project at work which had to get some data from a server on a different domain through JavaScript. We all know that this is not possible because of the same origin policy, however JSONP is here to help us hack around the problem. JSONP stands for JSON with padding and it’s incredibly simple, yet powerful way of requesting data from a server on a different domain.

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS on the process
“Hey you, you..” Hugo shouted.
A tall girl turned around.
“Yes… yes, you!” he confirmed.
She didn’t know him, so she was obviously confused. Nevertheless, she strode towards his direction. Her hair red and wavy, eyes glaring with the reflection of every color around, her hands gracious, her legs long and skinny.
“Listen, listen. Focus… I have no...

WebEater follows you wherever you go
It’s holiday time! And don’t we all love that. A week ago I packed my bags and came back home. I wanted to see and catch up with lots of friends, so I directed my browser to Facebook and contacted them. There was I chatting and occasionally waiting for a reply when I got myself thinking - “Isn’t it going to be neat to have something quick and funky to do while I’m...

Whoa, that’s pageviews. All the way. Double pageviews. Oh my God. It’s double pageviews all the way. Whoa, that’s so intense. Whoa, man. Wow. Whoa-ho-ho. Oh my God. Wow. Yeah.
Look at that. It’s starting to even look like triple pageviews. Oh my God. It’s double pageviews all across the graph. What does this mean?
It’s so beautiful. *weeping*

Don’t miss my new blog post: How to create a kick-ass product? What I learned from 37Signals’s book - Rework
Hello, fellow code monkeys.
Look at your editor. Now back at mine. Now back at yours. Now back to mine. Sadly your editor is not like mine. But if you stopped using noob-scented editor, and switched to Sublime Text 2, your editor could look like mine.
Look down. Back up. Where are...

You are running out of time. I am running out of time too, so I will be short. In my previous articles I talked about imagination - what is it, how to use it, how to get brilliant ideas. You don’t have an idea yet? Go have a beer with Imagination, think, talk and then come back here.
If you are a person who: - dreams of getting into a great university. Just go and study! - wants to be be...

Inhale. Exhale. How to come up with possibly...
Inhale. Exhale. It is dark outside and the sun has set long time ago. It feels like ages since I saw the light for a last time. It is even darker in my room since my lights burned out a week ago. I have three candles that glimmer in the darkness and the light coming out of my computer screen. It brightens me but it does not enlighten me. I separate my fingers from the keyboard, pick my hands up,...
From A to B, and then ∞ or how imagination works
Picture a coordinate system. What are A and B? They are points, correct. So let A be at (1,1) and B at (11,11). When connected A and B form a line, which we might say has a beginning and an end. Since we see the line’s A and B, we can perceive it, understand it and measure it. It has a slope of 1 and length of 10√2. It’s finite. Now let’s introduce ∞ to the game a.k.a. infinity,...

And let’s countdown together! 1… 1… 1… Go! It’s currently 11th of November 2011, 11:11am UTC or if we have to present it funkier 11-11-11 11:11:11. So what does this mean to you? And what does this mean to me? Does it mean anything at all? Yes and no.
