Just today I was walking to my office space and saw a line of 10 or so kids led by 3 adults, presumably from a local daycare. I thought of how that perfectly describes our society and how we are engineered, from birth, to suppress our wills and desires and to delegate raising our kids to others. I think you are right, it is difficult in the system, but parents make the biggest difference.

Luckily he seems to have a lot of it anyway and he also doesn’t much care what anyone else thinks, so he may have a fighting change. 😉

Despite that I thought it would illustrate the point I was trying to make that you have to just go out and get your customers. Anyway, I’m glad you liked it. 😉

It’s funny how we lose that creativity when the soul is crushed by the real world.

Seems like Jason has a chance to do this with David Pogue and the argument of whether or not an application can allow someone to create a web app without knowing how to program…

If you could engage in some healthy debate – followed by your launch of AppIgnite it might really help your momentum….

BTW – TechZing is a fine name!
