Something to think about for 2011 ;)
 
I just read this and it is so true. I thought I'd share this with everyone.

From Seth Godin's Blog

The competition will stop innovating

Someone else will drive the carpool, freeing up a few hours a week

There won't be any computer viruses to deal with, and

Your neighbor will return the lawnmower.

Then...

You can ship, you can launch your project, you can make the impact you've been planning on.

Of course, all of these things won't happen. Why not ship anyway?

[While others were hiding last year, new products were launched, new subscriptions were sold and new companies came into being. While they were laying low, websites got new traffic, organizations grew, and contracts were signed. While they were stuck, money was being lent, star employees were hired and trust was built.

Most of all, art got created.

That's okay, though, because it's all going to happen again in 2011. It's not too late, just later than it was.]

I like Seth Godin, been reading his blog for about a year now.. good food for thought. Been meaning to pick up one of his books as well, just haven't gotten around to it.

I post while work is compiling or rendering... but I have GFY and facebook under the "Waste of Time" folder on my bookmarks as a mental reminder.

Great read, thanks for sharing.
