The hardest part about trying to build a community

I'd say everything I do is about building a community, whether it is around a product, on a website, or in my city. I really see the value in meeting others and figuring out how I can help them. Getting that going and seeing how it affects people's lives is definitely one of the best feelings I know of. 

The community environment is where one starts to see extreme periods of growth. Sharing a wealth of knowledge leads to rapid innovation, sharing the workload leads to individuals being able to take on more - history tells us this is a good thing, we are all not our own islands.

Unfortunately, it would appear that everyone wants something for nothing...and I can't bankroll that attitude :(

Song lyrics o' the day - Uffie (Justice)

Let's get this party started right
Let's get drunk and freaky fly
You with me so it's alright
We gonna stay up the whole night

 

Yeah, I'm hittin' up the dance tracks FTmfW. Just try and stop me!

 

*sorry it is sunny out today and I've been afflicted with a serious case of unbridled optimism. I am considering making a Google Goggles type app that pops up with a little warning: "You have over-complimented the recipient of this email, consider toning down the unicorns, sparkles and general OMGYOUARESOCOOL before hitting send." Genius.

Song lyrics o' the day - Lykke Li


I'm working a sweat, but it's all good 
I'm breaking my back but it's all good 
'Cause i know i'll get it back 
Yeah, i know your hands will clap 
And I'm working, 
Yeah, i'm working 
To make butter for my piece of bun

 

I heard this song on a mix tape and instantly fell in love with it. Ok, yeah, so it was more exciting when I thought it was, "Working to make butter for my PASTRY bun" and I was all, "Heck yes! I love pastries!"  Dang, Lykke Li is one of those girls that's just cool
