“The default state of the world is to stay the way it is, which means the default state of a startup is failure.”
A tribute to MCA. Perfect.
“When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write. You read what you have written and, as you always stop when you know what is going to happen next, you go on from there. You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit it again.”

“…we are the only species kept awake at night by the thought that time is passing…”
From the New York Times, a short profile of Dr. Denise Herzing’s work with Atlantic spotted dolphins. Captain Pete — from whom I’ve learned my (nascent) deckhand skills — makes a cameo at 2:04. For more on the Wild Dolphin Project, see here.
Breathtaking.
