I was just thinking a hackernews userscript that tossed these up somewhere in the layout might be good, given the audience. The core of it's just picking a random quote from an array so it should be simple. You could select lines or quotes from users and add them to the queue with LocalStorage or something.
I am now apparently working on this...

The whole thing is a marketing gimmick anyway, since the OP runs the blog that you go to when you click on "I'm motivated". It's probably like that by design.

Funny you mention that. When I'm motivated, I just close it.

#20I like the colours - how do you come up with colours that look stylish like these, but aren't garish or crude?
