Read patio11's comments here, amd read his blog. It's an example of a simple lifestyle business


Shrug That depends on what I go on to do with it, right? If AR or some other idea goes big, then it gets retroactively upgraded to be the amusing "when it was still scrappy" backstory.

I'm totally happy with where I am in life today, and there are a bunch of happy places I could see myself in two years, lifestyle business or no. A word of caution: not everyone selling Obama cereal intends to be doing so forever.

No, but Patrick could, for instance, try leveraging his reputation here to sell his marketing services (either as commercial software or as consulting - he's done this before). Or just set up a couple more BCC's; if one pays the bills, ten would be a very nice income. Etcetera - there's more than one way to do it, and patio11 does have some skills that can be used to make money.
