Back in the days of being a desk jockey in Austin Texas, I always dreamed about living in the Euro zone. Now here, the roaring tempo is something that which I never could have imagined. Life decisions catapult you into the realms of possibility, often I ponder that quotation that goes something like “I’m struck [...]
tonight i think about a phrase seth godin said ‘what have you shipped?’ it’s been on my mind for months… what does it matter if you’re the first ever twitter user to capture the picture of lady gaga, or the 3rd person in line for the iphone, or you toil away at work 20 hours [...]
at some point do you wake up and accept the fact that you probably won’t be figuratively ‘selling out stadiums’ like the beatles or stones? at some point do you understand you don’t have the talent to sum it up in 5 words, such as ‘i cant get no satisfaction’ — some point you understand [...]
