I was a HackStar Boston '09 and fell in love with the program enough to become a TechStar in Boston '10! I think its great that the program is expanding to offer HackStars compensation as well. Best of luck to the future HackStars!

Been very pleased with Zerigo. I haven't really used the API beyond dynamic DNS updates; but its been working very well. Give them a try -- They have a free plan you can use up to a number of queries/mo.

Jennifer,
I hear Royal Caribbean may have better Gluten Free accommodations than Carnival did -- Thats definitely going to be my next cruise!
