I started http://lifestyle.io to be a sort of HN for bootstrappers. I'd fallen off posting during Army training last month.
Is there any interest in me continuing that side project? I'm happy to spend the 10 minutes each day hand-curating of its genuinely useful to even 10 or 15 people.
I'm a bootstrapped developer. My product http://followgen.com does 5 figures a month.
My blog: http://myles.io - I talk mainly about my experiences building followgen.
My book: 'The Hacker's Guide to Passive Income' is pretty much what it sounds like, though it's a work in progress on Leanpub https://leanpub.com/passiveincome
You should add Fog Creek Software. I think Joel Spolsky inspired many of the founders of companies you admire. Joel's blog was like HN for me before I was on HN, along with his message board that ultimately morphed into stackoverflow and their job board. I miss the old Joel on Software. Maybe I just don't go there enough anymore but it seems like the blog is dead and the old readers are here.
I would think so, but its all I know. I started this whole crazy entrepreneurship/bootstrap thing the week my 3rdcomputer daughter was born. No time like the present!

I would definitely be interested.
I've been writing quite a bit over the last 1.5 years on bootstrapping Planscope / my other products: http://planscope.io/blog/category/bootstrapping-and-products...
...and if you're looking for a couple good podcast interviews with Brennan, here's a few good ones ;)

BCC doesn't make 250k a year. It's made that all time. It's more like 60k a year per his yearly reports.
Yep, sorry I mis-remembered this tweet: https://twitter.com/patio11/status/366959032625405953. Sales chart: http://www.bingocardcreator.com/stats/sales-by-month.
TL;DR: 5 links to blogs, 2 to podcasts

Yep, I used to religiously read new Joel on Software posts, but they are pretty few and far between now.
Thanks for the bootstrapped podcast I'm always looking for new ones. May I also suggest Bootstrapped with Kids. So far I've enjoyed it quite a bit.
Gosh, it really does make it an awful lot harder, doesn't it!

Your third computer daughter?
If you're interested in podcasts, there's an excellent table of podcasts accompanying an episode of Startups for the Rest of Us [1].

If you're advertising your curated list here on HN, you may wish to spell Kalzumeus right =)
Yikes! That's cleaned up now, thanks!
