I've become addicted to playing poker because you're constantly faced with confusion, and winning is trying to make sense out of nonsense.
These days, headlines are trying to get you to click.
This concept that starting a company is so hard and that you'll never make it is conspiracy concocted by the rich and powerful to keep you from trying - and you've fallen for it.
I'm trying to correct what is wrong in journalism today: wasting users' time.
Since the number has been stated as not out of line it sounds like someone is trying to play this down.
Apps, email, and social are the three things Google does not control.
I ain't gonna work on YouTube's farm no more.
I think it hurts blogs when they have to turn off their comments.
I really think the Uberfication of everything is a trend that I didn't expect to be coming this fast. I mean, every single thing you want to do in your life, people are building services to take all the pain out.
