Fellow iC-er Steve Shay is visiting the iCrossing NY office today and showed me the Cocoon Grid-it!. Cool idea.
This is deceptive.
You don't rock all the time. No one does. No one is a rock star, superstar, world-changing artist all the time. In fact, it's a self-defeating goal. You can't do it.
No, but you might rock five minutes a day.
Five minutes to write a blog post that changes everything, or five minutes to deliver an act of generosity that changes someone. Five minutes to invent a great new feature, or five minutes to teach a groundbreaking skill in a way that no one ever thought of before. Five minutes to tell the truth (or hear the truth).
Five minutes a day you might do exceptional work, remarkable work, work that matters. Five minutes a day you might defeat the lizard brain long enough to stand up and make a difference.
And five minutes of rocking would be enough, because it would be five minutes more than just about anyone else.

I've been meaning to post a link to the Sublime HTML5 Video Player for a quite while, so here it is. :-)
My seven year old son is obsessed with extremes: biggest, tallest, fastest, quickest. He's especially interested in large numbers, and often asks me to tell him what a long series of numbers is in words. Luckily for me, "there's a site for that™." Yay LazyWeb!
