Today marks 31.5 years with Claire. The secret is that every day we actively work on it. Looking forward to shipping 31.5.1 tomorrow.

Just found (part of) an old blog (on the Wayback Machine) about Sagan from ~2004-2005 that was on Typepad. First thing on the homepage was this post:

Problem Solver

The other day, Sagan and I were watching Mulan. There's a scene toward the beginning where Mulan and her soon-to-be comrades are told to retrieve an arrow at the top of a tall pole. Which is simple enough, but they are made to wear a heavy weight around each arm.

The main male character tells them that one weight represents Strength, the other Discipline.

I looked at Sagan and said (thinking we could talk about using your wits and knowledge to overcome an obsticle.(sic)), "You know Sagan, it takes more than strength and discipline to do something like that."

She said, "Yeah, a ladder."

If there's a modern word which is to me like rakes are to Sideshow Bob it's: Gamification.

This is my shocked face. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to share Mike's "ethical trajectory" insight to design students and wannabe founders, and heard the same response about being busy building. mikeindustries.com/blog/archive...
