I hate having an idea I’m really excited about when I’m 20 projects deep already.

I can never get to bed early after late volleyball. Too much left to do + too wound up.
Deleting that e-mail instead of replying to it was probably a good choice.
Diagraming directly in Keynote worked a lot better than trying to use OmniGraffle.
