You know the drill by now. Friday = funny. A whole lot of funny. Get ready for your weekend with a whole lot of laughs.

I used to be a fat man. Not Biggest Loser fat, but fond enough of my bakery treats to have spent more than a decade on the wrong side of morbid obesity. It would have killed me eventually.

We’re drowning. We’re all drowning and floundering under the unconquerable pressure of everything the internet has made it possible (and easy) for friends, family and strangers to throw at us.

I remember coming home from a long day of coding a few years ago. I was living with a friend from high school and his girlfriend was over for dinner. When she asked how my day was, I explained it was long and exhausting.

Time for some hilarity before the weekend. We’ve gone image-only for this week’s Friday Funnies, so you’ll whip through this one in no time.

It doesn’t matter how skilled your team is, there are always one or two people who might not be performing as well as you hoped. It’s easy to put the blame on the person’s laziness, attitude, or lack of team spirit, but the truth is often not that simple.

You make stuff, because that’s what you do. You have a creative mind and you like bringing your ideas to life. It doesn’t really matter what I say, because you’ll keep making stuff regardless. Stuff that you think is cool, or that solves a problem, or that simply scratches an itch you have for a moment.

Another week’s gone by at Attendly and we’ve been busy as always. This week we opened up applications to be our Founder’s Apprentice, took a look at the war between Android and iOS and shared our best Google hack for jump-starting your blog’s traffic.

Last year our friends at Tweaky rolled out a fantastic initiative called The Founders Apprentice. Essentially they gave an opportunity to someone who wanted to learn the ropes of a funded startup across six months, in return for a wage and working your butt off.

So you launched your website, complete with a spanky new blog. On the first day your main worry was that the servers would stay online to cope with the insane levels of traffic that were about to descend.
