The Slow Hunch by Nick GrossmanYou Never Know When You've Had a Good Day
Many years ago, when I had just started working at USV, I remember there was kind of a complicated situation that unfolded in a seemingly bad way, and I'll never forget what Brad said in response. He said:you never know when you've had a good dayI didn't really understand what that meant, so he told me a story that went something like: back around the year 2000 at the height of the dot-com boom, there was a guy who was a senior exec at a successful startup. That person had a falling out with ...

I can't say enough about ScribeFire. It's a Firefox add-on that gives you an in-window blogging client. Here are just a few reasons why it's awesome:
You're blogging from within Firefox, and you can move among webpages while keeping your blog post editing window open. This comes in really handy when looking for references, quoting things, finding pictures, etc. It also makes it really easy to fire off quick posts -- no need to open up a new window, log in, etc., etc.
When you copy something to your clipboard, it's automatically pasted to the "insert link" dialog. So, for example, you go to a webpage (while keeping your editor open, see #1 above) and copy the URL from the URL bar. Then you highlight your text and click the "add link" button. Bingo! The URL is already pasted there, and all you have to do is press OK. Sweet.
You can write to multiple blogs from the same place. Very nice. Also a bit dangerous, as you could conceivably post to the wrong blog very easily. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I do have a lingering uneasy feeling about it.
So, if you blog and you use Firefox, get Scribefire. Go get it now. I promise you'll thank me.
