My little startup is expanding and I need to find a good law firm based in Canada that specializes in startups.

Experience-based recommendations from Canadian entrepreneurs would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm going to be travelling a little during the next few months and would rather take my iPad2 & wireless keyboard with me than lug my heavy laptop around, BUT I still need a really decent terminal for SSH access (for shell & Emacs) and RDP to my stuff back home.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding the best available terminal & RDP apps for iPad2? I'm curious to know what others have found useful.

I'll be attending Couchbase's CouchConf in New York City on October 24th.

I've never been to NYC and am wondering if anyone who lives there or has travelled extensively in NYC can recommend a good place to stay that's within walking distance of the conference.

I've read reviews, etc. but nothing beats a first-hand recommendation! Thanks!

The conference is happening at Sentry Center, 730 Third Avenue (Midtown East), 17th Floor.

A few days ago I found myself sitting at a table with a school board superintendent. After overhearing her describe a project that she wanted to begin, I introduced myself and gave my best elevator pitch for a related product that my company has been working on. I'm leaving out the details of the exchange because they're not pertinent to this question.

Either the pitch was good or she was just being polite but whatever the reason she immediately asked for my business card.

I live in a (very) remote community and have few face-to-face interactions with potential customers so business cards haven't been a priority for me. Although I ended up emailing her the next day, a card would have come in handy at that moment and I was left wondering if perhaps having a few cards at my disposal might be a good idea.

How do others feel about the use of business cards in the modern context? I can see them as a very useful tool in certain markets but I'm wondering if other small companies or contractors continue to carry them for those 'just in case' circumstances.
