The other [love] is an outpouring of everything good in you - of kindness, and consideration and respect - not only the social respect of manners but the greatest respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had…. It sometimes happens that what you feel inside is not returned for one reason or another - but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.

But I did wish she understood that just because I was wearing a nametag and a polyester necktie didn’t mean I was an authority figure.

The only article on Justin Bieber worth reading by adults.
If you use Panic’s Coda web-development app, thanks and guess what! We have 2 exciting new things for you. Coda 2, a seriously beefed-up (and trimmed-down) update. And Diet Coda, the potent portable iPad version for quick fixes on the go. It’s serious business.
I will probably do less and less coding as time goes on in my career but I am thinking about getting this anyway because OMG.
The issue, then, will always stem from studios that long for competent managers who turn out amazing product, but too often end up with mercurial creators who follow their own whims down paths studios would prefer to avoid. To make the stuff, they need people who make the trains run on time, but to make it great, they need weird geniuses who might be hard to deal with.
