My toolbelt of rockin' products and services 

2/9/2015

 
With Valentines day coming up, I'm sharing the products and services which make my life better. While it may border on love, I certainly am infatuated with:

Quartz daily new brief  - I read this email everyday, even their Saturday morning weekend edition. It's just the right amount of news so I san stay up to date with macro economic trends and current internet obsessions. (Subscribe in the upper right corner of their site.)

PV Solar Report  - My daily read for all my industry news and gossip. 

MailChimp  helped me format my newsletter and keep track of subscribers. The interface is a delight to use. 

Canva    is an easy design tool to create graphics, like the header on my newsletter. They have quite a few free designs, and premium designs are an extra $1. 

Weebly  makes creating a website as easy as a powerpoint. I've created two new sites in the last week,  UtilityAPI's FAQ Blog  and  Scott Luca's bio site.

How to Start a Startup - Y Combinator's Sam Altman hosts a class on how to start a startup. Available via videos and podcast.

Startup - The podcast about Planet Money's Alex Blumberg starting a podcasting business.

SoFi- Do you have unsubsidized student loans? Refinance them with SoFi. I saved .5% by refinancing my loans through SoFi. My greatest joy is never seeing SallieMae or their affiliated companies again. I also love SoFi because they have a career services department and entrepreneur program. When I was unemployed, I had 1:1 career coaching. With UtilityAPI, I have access to advice, mentors, and the SoFi investor network. They also have excellent customer service/call centers and they're located in the Presidio. Use this referral link and we both get $100:  https://www.sofi.com/refer/4/3173

Why do we need the services of a 3D printing company? 3D printing helps the designers to create complex shapes. All those shapes are impossible to create with traditional methods. Using additive techniques, elaborate designs can be made. Now the cost of producing those complicated designs is almost the same as creating simple designs using conventional methods.
