Today I was deep into working on blank state views for Obsorb. Sam Hutchings made an insightful comment.
Two rules:
- Use as few words as needed to get the message across

Hire Sam for your copywriting needs, he’s excellent.
CEO of Chargify, Lance Walley explaining how they got funding from Mark Cuban.
How Mark Cuban got involved: We wanted to jump ahead of revenue a bit, so we could develop features faster, and we wanted a smart outsider who could bring cash and wisdom. One of my Twitter followers (@MarshallHaas, a fellow motorcycle rider) rode his motorcycle from Dallas to Sacramento, and I showed him around town on our bikes. While out on the road, he suggested I email Mark Cuban re Chargify. I did, and a deal was done that night. I’ve done venture capital deals before, and this was very different! It was fast, as in a few emails and done! (Btw, other than Mark’s investment in 2011, Chargify is funded by founders & revenue.)
His entire post can be found here. More details about the mentioned motorcycle trip can be found here.

Their first picture is exactly where I lived and would walk through each day. Pretty neat. And of course, I totally agree… it’s a wonderful place to visit.
This is quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. The Supaboy plays all SNES cartridges and is $80 on Amazon
