Writing this chapter in @joltbook: “Be helpful, everywhere”

Instantly thought of @kaisdavis: writes amazing conf notes + friendly online.

If you're in the software testing community, definitely check out what @rosiesherry is doing over at: https://dojo.ministryoftesting.com/

It looks 👍

@allanbranch have you looked at:
1. @hootsuite
2. @MeetEdgar

Turns out "Hale Storm" was a band I was supposed to check out.

Review:
Elizabeth Hale - great voice.
Overall musically, they're not for me.

BTW: makers *need* that fear of "what will people think?"

It's a necessary part of the creative process. The tension keeps us sharp.

Talking about pricing...

Here's an interesting "pay what you can" experiment by @ericnicolaas and @wpcharitable:

Just sent some thoughts on "how to price products" to my newsletter list (http://justinjackson.ca/newsletter)

Here's a preview

I ❤️ @studiofellow's new site:

http://studiofellow.com/

He writes about how designers can establish themselves as experts. 🙌

Help, I’ve fallen into an internet rabbit hole and I can’t get out.

Whoa. @dearestscooter mentioned me on his podcast.

People are emailing me about it. That show's got reach!

I just published “You want more than product/market fit” https://medium.com/p/you-want-more-than-product-market-fit-c784c7ec6545

Just did an informal poll on my Snapchat (mijustin).

@Shpigford it really comes down to a choice:

sneeze really loud

or

poop your pants.

Gettin’ old is tough.

Got to hangout with these two beauties! Thanks for coming to #vernonbc @theleviallen!!! 🙌

"We make things better for other people."

^-- great mission statement for any team.

“My biggest fear is that people won’t like it, won’t care, or won’t show up.” http://buff.ly/23x5uD4

The answer isn't always "grind it out at your desk until you find the solution."

Sometimes you gotta go for a Capp.

This is so true it’s hilarious.

Sneak peek of the #megamaker podcast here: http://live.megamaker.co/

I love the ScreenFlow UI. Wish that Garaband was more like it.

(or, that @ScreenFlow exported MP3)

Why is it important to "build things *and tell people*?"

http://megamaker.co/question/

"People don’t think in terms of information. They think in terms of narratives." - @j1berger, Contagious

“Most people are wasting their money with retargeting and don't even know it.”

Great comment by @earthlingworks

Starting a new band called "Gravy Coma."

The most amazing thing about Santa is that I never get caught pretending to be Santa.

A few of my favorite documentaries (great holiday watching). http://justinjackson.ca/films-2015/

Reviewing some old personality tests I've done.

Loving these career suggestions they gave me. 😄

It's 4 hours until the movie starts in #vernonbc and people are already lined up for Star Wars seats.

I wish I'd written and recorded "Seven Nation Army" first because I want to use it in all my podcast + video projects.

New blog post - "Build demand like a band" http://justinjackson.ca/band/

"YouTubers also introduce the kids to 'mods,' which your kid will beg you for on a daily basis."

^ big market opportunity for Microsoft.

"Turning it off and on again" fixes so many things.

Setting a reminder.

Just launched this today on Product Hunt, but you can get it here immediately:

You haven’t SEEN bad ads until you’ve tried to download a Minecraft mod.

Love this: father (@falicon) teaches his son programming by creating a mobile game together. It's on @producthunt: https://www.producthunt.com/games/color-tap

This is a huge missed opportunity for @Microsoft:

Minecraft is better on a PC.

Kids would go bananas for a dedicated Minecraft machine.

Traction Step #3:

An enthusiastic response to your idea is a good start, but it's not enough.

Early on: see if people will pay for it.

Traction Step #2:

Evaluate your idea's initial potential by looking at:

- how many people respond
- how enthusiastically they respond

Traction Step #1:

You should be able to boil the promise of your product into a single headline that resonates with people.

@patio11 there’s a business opportunity here!

😁

Microsoft: there are lots of of people (especially parents) who would buy a dedicated Minecraft PC.

Surface Book Minecraft Edition?
