Brad,

I volunteer to lead Techstars Chamonix for the winter season...Or maybe Techstars Jackson Hole if you prefer to stay US based ;)

My team is using Rails for a few projects but I'm not proficient (PHP guy). To keep up, I occasionally watch screencasts from http://railscasts.com and have found that to be a fun/easy way to absorb some of the syntax.

Thanks for answering my tweet Brad!

I had "Last 7 days" + "Tweets" on and had trouble getting a handle on things. Following your suggestions gives me a manageable list of information to gobble up.

I began using Gist during the Glue Conference this past summer and am digging it. Keep up the good work guys.

I heard a rumor that spending time in Keystone resting, running and staring at the peaks is a good way to forget about air travel for a while. Feel better.

Great post Brad.

I would be interested in a related post from you someday like "How to avoid drinking at company retreats so you can feel sharp and get up early to work hard." Every work thing I've ever been too always ends with too much pressure to drink at the end of the day. Maybe I'm just a wimp!

I'm in for a run, lemme know if you want me to put together a loop or if you have something in mind. Cheers, kt

Brent, I agree....but lucky us, our wives rip it up! Choosing your crew wisely is another post by itself. Whether in the backcountry, inbounds on a pow day or traveling somewhere to ski, the people with you make all the difference.

Again, thanks for posting your comments.

A few questions I am interested in:

1. Have your Customers ever asked about Layaway as a purchasing option?

2. Do you think Customers would be interested in Layaway?

3. If you were to purchase Gear Layaway for your Shop, what is a fair way for us to charge you for the service? 1) % of Customer order 2) Flat monthly rate 3) Free

And finally, I view this idea as a great way to promote purchases in the off season. Buy your bike in October using Gear Layaway, pay for 6 months, then pickup your bike and ride away debt-free just in time for Mountain Biking season.

4) Do you think this would be a good promotional idea you could advertise?

This idea was hatched on the Startup Weekend "Problems" website a few months ago. Here's the original link:
