About.

Hello internet strangers and friends! Welcome to my blog. Here are some fun facts:

Name: Amanda Peyton

Location: NYC

Homepage: http://amandapeyton.com/

What is this blog?

This blog is for generally longer-form thought pieces on topics I love: startups, New York City, hardware, creative technology, urban interaction, mobile computing, strangers in cities, China, adventures, and other random stuff.

Who are you?

I’m a technology entrepreneur living in New York City.

I am an alum of Northwestern, MIT and Y Combinator.

My favorite site on the internet is archive.org.

I was on The Daily Show once and said “asshole” on national television. My parents are so proud.

I am too lazy to read all your posts – can you point me to the best ones?

I would consider these three picks my best writing, though some are from my other blog Save Me From B-School. Right now (Dec. 2012) my three best posts are:

1.  ”Gaming bit.ly: A New Kind of Domain Speculation” from July 2009.

2.  ”APIs for Manufacturing” from September 2012.

3.  ”Pain. Or, Why Learning to Code is like Learning Chinese” from February 2010.

How can I contact you?
