It's OK Not To Agree
- Desi Di Nardo (from The Way I See It # 293 on my coffee cup this morning):
The way I see it
Isn’t necessarily
The way you see it
Or the way it is
Or ought to be
What’s more important
Is that we’re all
Looking for it
And a way to see it

Penis Envy and Working Together
From the page: “a network of cooperating tools, each doing one thing well.”
That, I believe, is key to developing almost any idea and getting it to work well all the way through. This blog post lays out a good case for that cause.

How is the Next Big Thing to be Handled?
From The Next Big Thing by Dave Winer:
Here’s a challenging question. If age is such a killer, why is today’s Steve Jobs doing so incredibly well, where the young Steve Jobs shipped a loser (Lisa), then an almost loser (Mac) which was saved over his objections (he had some very wrong ideas about users and stubbornly held to them) and then was either fired or quit in a rage (depending on whose story you believe). Today, people seriously consider the possibility that Jobs’s vision of the future may prevail over Gates’s. I only use Macs these days. Did I think that would be possible, even five years ago? Never. So did we underestimate Jobs? Absolutely! The 50-something Steve Jobs disproves Wilson’s hypothesis.
- There’s this tendency to promote youth as a good thing for making ideas happen. Nevermind that if the young brought the brawn and the old brought their wisdom, we’d probably make it happen a lot faster. If only communication were that easy.

We're all lying to ourselves. He didn't.
Dave Freeman, the author of 100 Things to Do Before You Die, fell down and died. Hopefully we all now realize we’re all hypocrites:
“According to Mr Teplica, his friend’s mantra was: ‘You should live every day like it would be your last. There’s not many people who do.’”
How many people have even started a list, much less believe they can actually start on it?

With love from the guys at Wordpress:
We’re fans of Twitter around here, in fact many Automatticians have accounts, but while the format appealed to us it really just whetted our appetite for something more, like a way for each of us to share short messages about what we’re doing or working on internally, or private messages between groups of folks.
I think the potential in this is evident and I’d love to see this in action. It’d also be nice if it had a few additional features like allow you to have several groups (family, work, team, etc…).

Profanity works: Everything in it’s right place will work well. As in life, so with four letter words and french.

The Power of Proper Practice- We grew up with the “practice makes perfect” mantra drilled into our heads until we forgot what it really meant or why it was important. This is that reminder you’ve been looking for.
For others, this is the explanation you never got.
