You see I wanted to write something very similar. Not the bit about “money being like air” (although that would be nice, it’s not my goal). No, it’s the [...]

Personal Goals

Taken from Shane and Peter.
What’s your personal mission statement?
No Regrets. So far that’s pretty true. Or maybe “I’m glad I have tasted fantastical places” (which I am and I have).
What’s the biggest mess you’ve dealt with this year?
The application I was working on at my previous employer. Over the years it had [...]
