In my experience life, innovation success and even love begin with one lil' thing. That one thing you obsess about or stress about. That one characteristic that wins your heart. I see lil things everywhere worth talking about/sharing. Please do the same. Me: I'm from BK. I do more than talk about what I'm going to build. http://knod.es

What Pushing Through Looks like (a poem)
(Invictus)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
——William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

Slidecast from ThincIowa
Some folks asked me to post the audio with the slides. Long talk but apparently the Biggie and Jay Z references were a hit. Also my anecdote about a VC falling asleep on me
We’ve had people come up to us like, ‘Don’t ever put ads on the platform!’ Well, we must be doing it right, because we already do.

“Only actual voter fraud is the voter fraud legislation” —
I’d consider Sammy Davis Junioring for this one.
Buzzer rang. We thought it was delivery. We were sooo wrong.
Forget Romney. Can Obama beat God? Yahweh 2012…
Outrage is the most shareable thing on the web
Overheard in a Tech4Obama meeting in NYC regarding how to educate voters so they don’t wind up disenfranchised in November based on changes to voter laws. Figure out if you’ve got what you need to vote in 54 days!
