Just witnessed a big interface fire start along HWY 97 in #lakecountry (north of #kelowna).

Lots of trees burning. Stay safe out there!

The most interesting thing about Kickstarter (for me) is the email notifications about what your friends are backing.

Crazy network effect.

There's only one way to find a good product idea: observe real people, and recognize the real struggles they face.

I've got a blog post brewing around @kevin2kelly's "1,000 true fans" concept.

How many of you have seen "1,000 true fans" work?

If I ask you: "is there existing demand for the progress your product provides?"

And you say: "no, it's totally new!"

That's a bad sign.

6. Another example: my friend @adamwathan creates courses for PHP devs.

His potential market size is > someone who focuses on Python devs.

Test your values.

Look at them critically.

Examine them from multiple sides.

If all you know about your customers is that they click orange buttons more often than green buttons that's pretty sad.

Call them. Listen.

MacBook Pro is used mostly by professionals (devs, designers, editors).

For many of these folks, a platform change is a big deal.
