] What is Dropload?
]
]
] Dropload is a place for you to drop your files off and
] have them picked up by someone else at a later time.
] Recipients you specify are sent an email with
] instructions on how to download the file. Files are
] removed from the system after 7 days, regardless if they
] have been picked up or not. You can upload any type of
] file, mp3, movies, docs, pdfs, up to 100MB each!
] Recipients can be anyone with an email address

This seems pretty cool.

A cool show where we talked about lots of topics, including Stripe Snoop.

Mantra #1

] "If you're 15 and angry at your dad, you want to go and
] break something. But the biggest part of hacking is
] creation," notes "Acidus," a speaker at a Friday panel on
