Quote of the Day: Mandy Brown
“I still believe that to be true, but with one important modification: it’s not that a blog post has permission to be rough so much as that roughness is its natural state.

Quote of the Day: Shawn Blanc
“There are many great things I want to do and build and ship and start, but I just don’t have the time to do them. However, I’m finding that the real problem is not my lack of time — it’s my lack of focus.”A good revelation to have. We can’t control time (yet), but we can control our focus if we try. I would add one thing: if you can’t seem to focus on a project, perhaps it is not the right project for you.
