The best companies (not just start-ups) will continue to push themselves to be 10x better so they don’t allow the next generation to disrupt them. Be ruthlessly honest with yourself about being 10 times better. The cycle will continue – push yourself to 10x and become a startup to the power of 10.
I think for, you know, the moms and dads out there, the people who give money to Christian advocacy groups, to the RNC, what they want is something really, you know, important. They want to try and make America better. And they’ve been led to believe that somehow all of that can be achieved through politics. All of if can be achieved particularly through conservative politics. And you fast from something not because it’s evil, but because you want to step away and focus on something more spiritual.
And I really would love to see a period of time for a couple of years where evangelical voter stopped giving to all these political groups and started giving to the poor, you know, started giving their time to after-school programs, started, you know, doing two things that Jesus said, like loving your neighbor and — and again, redirecting that money towards the poor. And I think that it would provide some much-needed perspective on the political environment.

Morning @ the Oval.
My final shot from Myanmar. This photo shoot of the train around Kalaw was one of the most satisfying of my career. It was 30 minutes before sunset, and I had the distinct feeling that the train, platform, passengers and I had been transported back to the 1920s. It was a magical few moments.

rickwebb's tumblrmajig: Moving on...
My gig is up at Tumblr! It’s been an amazing 10 months but at the end of March I will be wrapping up my six month consulting project there. What a great time. It’s been a straight up dream of mine to work at a company like that, and the amount I learned was insane. I feel pretty good about…
If you ever get a chance to hug or work with Rick, do it!!! He is the best. Can’t wait to see all the awesome that Rick is going to bring into the world.
Tumblr has today quietly ticked over the 100 million blog mark, with those blogs containing some 44.6 billion posts… This marks significant growth over the last year, of somewhere around 50 million blogs since April of 2012, when it crossed 50 million for the first time.

IE11 to appear as Firefox to avoid legacy IE CSS
I am undone.Max Slater-Robins for Neowin:
To further ensure IE11 users don’t receive an odd version of the site, Microsoft also included the command “Like Gecko” which instructs the website to send back the same version of the website as they would to Firefox. The results of this update are unknown, especially on websites which are poorly coded. The move is strange, but shows that Microsoft is desperate to clean up Internet Explorer and get away from the awful experience in IE6, 7 and 8.
So, let me get this straight: Microsoft is being forced to trick the web into thinking its own browser is actually that of its chief rival so that pages will render properly.
Such an amazing legacy IE has built.
