I enjoy not being a public company.

I know where I'm putting my money.

Only two people have been on the cover of Time Magazine in bare feet. I'm one, the other is Gandhi.

Where I grew up, we had the three TV networks, maybe two radio stations, no cable TV. We still had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest bookstore was an hour away.

No one should expect building a new high-growth, software-powered company in an established industry to be easy. It's brutally difficult.

These days, you have the option of staying home, blogging in your underwear, and not having your words mangled. I think I like the direction things are headed.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
