I usually have a lot to say, but today it’s mostly just wow.
And, thanks.
This is truly a great day for design lovers and for anyone who believes that it is possible for a company to go from zero to hero really quickly.
It’s humbling for us as a team.

OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched. ~ Warren E. Buffett Op-Ed Contributer NYTimes

Dave Ramsey breaks it down:
- Joe and Susie make $55,000 a year.
- They spend $96,000 a year.
- At the same time, they have $366,000 in credit card debt
So what has the government done to alleviate the debt crisis? Their latest move, through the eyes of this analogy, change the numbers like so: Joe and Susie cut spending from $96,000 to $78,000. Meaning — they are still overspending...

stoweboyd:
Cringely heard a talk by Roger McNamee in which McNamee cites the now-conventional tech viewpoint: Facebook has won.
Again, I’m not saying he’s wrong, but what I took away from this speech was first an image of Microsoft as the Roman Colosseum being mined for marble after the barbarian invasion, and second a sense that while Facebook is certainly a huge social, cultural, and...

Federal Debt Limit →

Did you catch that folks? No? Look above again. Here’s a hint:
The Debt Limit DOES NOT AUTHORIZE NEW SPENDING COMMITMENTS.
In other words voting yes on raising the debt ceiling is a vote to burden and oppress our children, our grandchildren, and generations after that.
