The secret to being inspired is to have pancakes. A lot.

The daily news seems oppressively crappy. And my life hasn't been any better. So at least once a week, I've been eating breakfast (or the occasional lunch) with someone who gets me excited to head into the office. Here's a public thank you to people like Peter, Gregg, Geoff, Lauren, Jaxon, Steve and Greg. Not to mention a few college students who were naive enough to think I was doing them a favor when we met, when in fact they were the ones inspiring me. Thank you all. If anybody else has something awesome or interesting - and hopefully both - to say to me over eggs and coffee, write me an email.
