Great example of resourcefulness and creating a path to success where no path existed before!

The key bit? Those songs were number two-hundred-and-something and number four-hundred-and-something.

There's a lot of value to doing one of something every day.

I'm busy working on terrible music. If I do a few hundred, I might suck less too.

Holds true for many things. Our photography teacher told us on the first day that the secret of good photographers is that they take a ton of photos, every day.

It's funny because I saw a queue of people outside the AT&T this morning waiting to bring back iPhones they'd gotten for christmas.

Great story.

Watching the Jobs / Antenna Gate presentation again just reminded how well Apple manages crisis. Other companies/startups could take note.

That's why I try to write some code (or at least read about it) every day, even if just for a little bit. I'm not sure where I'd be, skill-wise, without it.
