As every iteration of the site has been released, another iteration of the ‘About’ page inevitably accompanies it. The new version is, as usual, idealistic, high-handed and grossly narcissistic. At least it’s more concise. I hope you have a minute to let me step on my soapbox, but if you don’t, I won’t take it personally.

At the bare minimum I’ve managed to add a couple more interesting quotes on the page; If I can’t be a brilliant writer, at least I can be a good thief. My sources of inspiration:

Malcolm Gladwell, ‘How David Beats Goliath’

37 Signals, ‘Getting Real’

Sid Meier, ‘Covert Action’ on Wikipedia

Not directly quoted, but an important part of the philosophy, Derek Sivers, ‘There’s no speed limit’

Jason Fried says your company should be about more than just making a product; I think the collection of messages in these articles sums up what I want to be doing here.
