So, I was looking @ Delicious Library again (no, I haven't bought it yet, I would really like a 'last read' date field first) again & happened to look @ the Company page. It turns out both of the guys that started the company have blogs. So I read them.
I found out from Mike Matas's blog that he is cute. It turns out he has also been hired by Apple and has good taste in cars.
Wil Shipley's blog has coding hints & various other geeky stuff. It was here that I found a posting that I had to pass along. It's called Thinking, boxes, & what kittens can do to them. It's got some useful pointers for developers and anyone else that is trying to come up with marketable products. In summary, a young developer wrote him asking how to get ideas, specifically saying that "thinking outside the box" never works for him. Wil says that what he really needs to do is to "think INSIDE the box." Most new ideas are really just old ideas done better. Or combinations of old ideas done better. Wil goes into more detail and it really is a great read, so check it out. I love his writing style.
