Be very careful when you talk about your plans.

Great things rarely happen without verbalizing intentions, but it’s easy to allow the act of planning to replace the planned act. Planning invites laziness and fear. Trust yourself to make the right move. “The objective is to fix mistakes of ambition and not make mistakes of sloth.”

The best thing you can hope for is to run out of time going down the right road. Talk and plans have all the substance of packing your bags.

Whether you have already used your skills in web development (or any of a thousand flavors of technical expertise) to break out of wage slavery, or you are on the brink of doing so, let me suggest visiting DigitalMediaMinute.com.

Nearly six years old with over 2,272 posts, it is a serious repository of information relevant to web developers, creative professionals, and anyone who uses tech and the net. (Search the site:) You’ll find
fresh productivity tools, how-to guides, programming tutorials, and the best Character Entity Reference on the web.

You will also find a place for commentary on the effects of digital media in the broadest sense on the workplace and our culture.

Detailed enough to be helpful and broad enough in scope to be thought-provoking. It’s where we have been and where we are going.

It’s also the most recent expansion of my own adventures in wage freedom.
