In my (limited) experience, canker sores are an allergic reaction. Raw pineapples make the inside of my mouth tingly, and then voila: canker sores. I stopped eating raw pineapple, and I've not had a canker sore since.
One of the main issues we had with Hackpad, though, was that the collaborative editing led to it being used for note-taking with third-parties, and it was really easy to inadvertently share a document by putting it into a space that was public or shared.
What are your plans with Canvas to make sharing easy within a team, and but less error prone for sharing outside?
Splitwise works especially well for groups that share bills regularly, e.g. roommates. Recurring bills and email reminders are especially helpful to make the monthly shakedown unnecessary. My favourite feature is the option to simplify debts, minimizing the number of payments that need to be made between people to settle up (their example: if you owe Anna $10 and Anna owes Bob $10, Splitwise tells you to pay Bob $10 directly so that there's only one transaction instead of two).
It's a great example of a "small" piece of software that does one thing and does it well.
Maybe you could build up confidence working on something else -- an open source project, for example -- that has better personal dynamics. You get something to be proud of, a clear demonstration of your skills, and you've helped the community.
Great post. When I started working in Silicon Valley over a decade ago, as a fresh graduate from college, I heard, "It's a small Valley" more than I can count. I smiled and nodded, and I didn't really understand how true this statement is.
Every year my career continues, I appreciate it more. Technology companies -- successful ones, at least -- are built around the magic of assembling extremely talented people and focusing their attention on the same set of problems. Companies don't last, but talent usually does, and people grow.
This is great news for Travis! Congrats to Josh and his crew.

I don't see a 5th-generation listing under Lenovo's products pages. Does anyone know what the release date will be?
Edit: closest hit I can find is a rumored launch at CES in a few weeks -- http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/leaked-new-lenovo-thinkpa...
