		<title>A Few Words on Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The more I become interested in design, the more I find myself trying to figure out what the hell it is.


I asked folks on Twitter to define design in one tweet.  From sound designers, to graphic and visual designers, to lighting designers, to cinematographers, to set designers, to writers, to developers, here&#8217;s what they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art Heroes Radio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week John T Unger invited me on his podcast Art Heroes Radio, a place where John tries to help artists and entrepreneurs become &#8220;heroes on their own terms.&#8221;


I dig that.


Anyway, here&#8217;s the page for our conversation:


The competitive advantage of hiring artists, A conversation with Chris Ashworth

		<title>My Competitive Advantage: I Hire Artists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As recently discussed in this space, I am building a small software company.  I&#8217;m not going to retread the history of that company, but you can read up on it if you want.


I&#8217;m only really here to share one tip.  Kinda like a stock tip, I guess.  It&#8217;s a tip I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ten Hopes</title>

Wendell Berry speaking at a college commencement in 1989. Submitted without comment.



Beware the justice of Nature.
Understand that there can be no successful human economy apart from Nature or in defiance of Nature.
Understand that no amount of education can overcome the innate limits of human intelligence and responsibility. We are not smart enough or conscious enough [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trends Take 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently wrote a no-words post comparing the Twitter trends for various cities on the day of the Apple WWDC keynote.


That post ended with a screenshot of Baltimore&#8217;s trends, which included not a peep about the technology topics that were sweeping the rest of Twitter:





&#8220;Oh, Baltimore,&#8221; I thought.  &#8220;It&#8217;s why I love you.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>My 2 Bucks on Pricing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know I have two primary social circles: indie software and indie theater.  I&#8217;m writing this with both of you in mind, but I&#8217;m going to start out with the theater kids and bend it back around.  Software kids, sit tight for a second.


See, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>OS X as utility truck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well, between you and me and the comments, it looks like we basically came to the right conclusion.


Or, rather, we basically came to the same conclusion as Steve Jobs.


Via Engadget:



Walt: Is the tablet going to replace the laptop? Tell me what you think about where it&#8217;s going?

Steve: You know&#8230; (long pause). I&#8217;m trying to think [...]]]></description>
