TMI – Thoughts, Musings, and Inspiration

I just saw a Mos Def interview where he was asked, after a performance at the Austin City Limits festival, about inspiration. I absolutely loved his response:

To quote my good friend Malik Sayeed, he said ‘Inspiration is for amateurs’… to quote Octavia Butler, she said: ‘Habit is more reliable than talent.”

I went to the St. Louis Day of .NET this year, the second event I have attended this year that brought together thought leaders in the Microsoft world, and the .NET space in general. As usual, it was really cool to have people talk about interesting topics ranging from Pragmatic Software Architecture, Building & Creating a High-Performance Team, to Adventures in System.Diagnostics and WCF 4.
