Innovation is significant positive change.

Most people doubt online meeting scan work, but they somehow overlook that most in person meetings don't work either.

This is one big problem with working remotely: no one believes you have a job at all.

No one has died from giving a bad presentation. Well, at least one person did, President William Henry Harrison, but he developed pneumonia after giving the longest inaugural address in U.S. history. The easy lesson from his story: keep it short, or you might die.

All great tasks test our motivation. It's easy to court ideas over beers and change the world with napkin sketches, but like most things taken home from bars, new challenges arise the next day. It's in the morning light when work begins, and grand ideas (or barroom conquests) lose their luster. To do interesting things requires work and it's no surprise we abandon demanding passions for simpler, easier, more predictable things.

My intent is simply to know my material so well that I'm very comfortable with it. Confidence, not perfection, is the goal.
