Since I’m not a del.ico.us user, my interesting links lie around, gathering dust in the e-mail inbox or in Safari. Taking a broom to the in-box, I find the following:
- Hugh Macloed of GapingVoid on Mount Everest (read the entire post… it’s not long)
9. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
You may never reach the summit; for that you will be forgiven. But if you don’t make at least one serious attempt to get above the snow-line, years later you will find yourself lying on your deathbed, and all you will feel is emptiness.I often agree, but this kind of creative focus also requires a tremendous selfishness. I enjoyed the entire list of How to be creative posts, not just #9.
- Michael Tchong on Time Compression. Just some pithy stats to underline the reality of the world today, and the view that time is worth more than money.
- Selling answers to the NYTimes crossword puzzle, faster than the Times! [via paidContent]
- I beat Walt Mossberg to the punch with my radioShark review. I don’t claim I was as comprehensive, but the lack of a program guide was a common concern.
- Seth Godin in Fast Company: “There is no corporate privacy, and it’s a good thing” – Transparency wins, in part by forcing an organization to compete all the time. Not everyone is willing to do that, so if you are, you win — because customers win.
I’ll save the Safari bookmarks bar for another time.
