Have a story. And make sure it’s a good one. A DAMN good one. - Hugh MacLeod

Good ideas come with a heavy burden. Which is why so few people have them. So few people can handle it.

Stuff designed to make them sound clever and make us part with our money. Which is fine, but their shtick isn’t the whole story. Buzzwords are not the word of God. The Internet doesn’t work the way it does because some clever person in New York or Shanghai has decided she needs your money. No, it’s something far more universal and egalitarian. The Internet works best when we’re all trying to share stuff. Not just the corporations and the Internet millionaires, but you, me, everybody else on this planet.

Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it.
