Met one of the founders of a really cool co-working company in Austin called Dwell. This dedicated desk costs me less than $250/month with 24/7 access. Shared desks less than $100. It's 9PM and we have the floor to ourselves. Hit me up if interested and I'll get you 10% off. 👀

If you're a founder in Austin with a big cloud bill, I'd like to help you sort that out.

man’s fall is not always in his actions, but often in the rationalizations he builds to avoid full truth.

One of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life is who you work with. Don't bring negative people into your team.

As long as I’m increasing my understanding of how the world works, I’ll believe in my ability to change it.

The @WordPress community might want to relax on @photomatt and at least try to view things from the middle. Both @wpengine and @automattic have plenty of bankers on their boards and make hundreds of millions annually. I personally wanna see more WPforks, less pitchforks.

I usually do a walk around the whole ranch with Lucky every day and purposefully leave my phone behind. Today was so nice I had to do another and I’m glad I brought it this time.

Don’t ever let others change your thinking: -Dismissing advice whether solicited or not is a missed opportunity. Blindly following it is missing out on life.

Stop feeling bad for outgrowing people who had the chance to grow with you.

I've given a lot of praise to @mercury but if you got that notice about all your cards being replaced.. just wow. I want to know why this is happening and be assured its unlikely to ever happen again. It's like they don't even realize how many people are gonna get screwed by it.

If you believe in good and evil, it’s not hard to believe in God or that humans exploited his existence for profit and control via organized religion.

I don’t want to create a product that succeeds in the marketplace. I want to succeed at changing the way the marketplace works.
