It will take you less time and effort to do a thing the difficult way than it will to buy, try and discard all the shortcuts.

The art of good decision making is looking forward to and celebrating the tradeoffs, not pretending they don't exist.

I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue.
