Thomas Edison…

… held 1093 patents. And studies show that the most respected scientists produced not only great works, but also many “bad” ones. They weren’t afraid to fail, or to produce mediocre in order to arrive at excellence.

More enthusiastic than ever

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

I just finished reading Getting Real. Two words, dude: WOW! I don’t usually read books twice (actually the only book I’ve ever read twice was Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, at the age of 10 :) ), but I’m definitely gonna re-read this one when I get some spare time.

To make a long story short: it has changed my view on teamwork, web application building and so much more. It’s a must have book. Why? To make a long story short, again: We’ve been working on a few projects at Brainient, for the last six months. Although they are functional, we haven’t launched them yet ’cause “they’re not ready” or “let’s add this and that”.

But you know what? Why wait? These apps will never be perfect, anyway. So why not get real feedback on them? Why not let the users tell us what we’re missing or what we need to remove.

So stay tuned! Starting this week, we’re getting real!

Getting real - 37 signals

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

O carte care merita cu adevarat citita este Getting real, scrisa de cei de la 37 signals. De fapt e un ebook, costa doar $19 si face toti banii. Platiti cu cardul si primiti link-ul de download in 15 minute. Cool. Eu sunt la pagina 32 si nu cred ca o sa ma opresc curand (sorry, hon’… stiu ca vroiai sa vedem filmul ala … what was it’s name? :D)

Enjoy!
