I found #9 liberating. Perfectionism could really be a problem.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a good article, but man the design of that site is lousy. The home page (miltonglaser.com) actually resizes my browser window to be a little rectangle (!), with complete lack of consideration for the ten other tabs I have open. All the content is scrunched up in a little ribbon on the left with absolutely no left margin. The text is too small, and the contrast is just barely enough. It's pretty, I guess, if you…
He's not a web designer, at all. He does things like "I <3 NY" and Time magazine covers. His work is way older than the web... so I can't blame him.
I also highly doubt he designed his own site. More than likely, he told someone he knows in the publishing world that he wants a web site, they made one and showed it to him in their browser, and he put the stamp of approval on it. I doubt I see Glaser sitting next to a computer designing web sites...

#33It doesn't matter...if your boss looks at you cockeyed or your boyfriend or girlfriend looks at you cockeyed, if you are cockeyed. I thought that was a funny bit.
Is there a web app that makes it easy to comment on single lines of text (or, say, a paragraph) on a web page. When you visit a page you can see all of the little in-line notes and comments that others left behind? Kind of like leaving a Comment in a Word doc?

#34Everyone interested in licensing our field might note that the reason licensing has been invented is to protect the public not designers or clients.
That might be the original goal. But the long-term effect is that they'll use licenses to keep new designers out, and to make the licensed designers rich. And the best way to do that is to make sure the 'right' way is the old way (and the expensive way).
