I saw a brilliant TED video by Simon Sinek which had a profound effect on me. You can watch it here http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/848.

It reminded me that knowing what gets you out of bed in the morning, what motivates you is very important. Some how I had forgotten that along the way.

I believe in making things better. I believe that it is possible to improve our own lives and those of the people around us. That is what I take to work with me every day. Its what makes me frustrated when others take the easy route at the expense of everyone else. Its what makes me rejoice when I see people do things for others. Its what excites me about the Diaspora project http://www.joindiaspora.com/. Its one of the things I have always loved about the free and open source software and its what attracted me to the web back when I was in Art college.
