Some Goodies from NB
A little present from Nicholas Bate in the post last week. Just getting round to looking at them now.
Thanks Nicholas!
So I gave the first few episodes of Sons of Anarchy a go. Good programme but I can’t see me watching every episode.
Pretty hard to get psyched about something if the founder isn’t using it.
I had great intentions of going back to using @appdotnet for a while there but it still feels like a ghost town.
I wanted to make a product and sell it directly to people who’d care about its quality. There’s an incredible connection possible when you align your financial motivations with the service of your users. It’s an entirely different category of work than if you’re simply trying to capture eyeballs and sell their attention, privacy, and dignity in bulk to the highest bidder.
I’m going to pull out another trite saying here: It feels like honest work. Simple, honest work. I make a good product, you pay me good money for it. We don’t even need big words like monetization strategy to describe that transaction because it is so plain and simple even my three year-old son can understand it.

A nice reminder that honest work and a good product can be a way to succeed.
Finding Nemo was one of Ethan's favourites, perhaps this one will be one of Drew's favourites. Looking forward to it.
Finally deleted my @appdotnet account. It’s like a ghost town now.
