  • Waiting is a large part of living. Great, passive, negative chunks of our time are consumed by waiting, from birth to death. Waiting is a special kind of activity - if activity is the right word for it - because we are held in enforced suspension between people and places, removed from the normal rhythms of our days and lives.

  • Whether it's the experiments on 'MythBusters' or my earlier work in special effects for movies, I've regularly had to do things that were never done before, from designing complex motion-control rigs to figuring out how to animate chocolate.

  • We keep a special place in our hearts for people who refuse to be impressed by us.

  • I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film.

  • If you just try long enough and hard enough, you can always manage to boot yourself in the posterior.

  • It seems that I have spent my entire life trying to make life more rational and that it was all wasted effort.

  • Above all am I convinced of the need, irrevocable and inescapable, of every human heart, for God. No matter how we try to escape, to lose ourselves in restless seeking, we cannot separate ourselves from our divine source. There is no substitute for God.

  • Beginning with the first bite, and for every bite after, that try to chew ten times.

  • Better to be too early and have to try again, than be too late and have to catch up.

A huge problem with enterprise software traditionally has been usually you sell to the customer and then they adopt the technology. The great thing about 'freemium' and the new way enterprise software is being sold is you get to try it first and then buy it.
