Some of our best ideas have come while driving, gardening, reading, or painting on the weekend.""Making lists .... Put the time-sensitive stuff at the top and be realistic. Choose three time-intensive things to do and five quick things to do. Make sure you finish all of them before you leave in the evening.""Quality-Price-Ratio in Web Design (Pricing Design Work)," from Smashing Magazine"Hourly rates are unfair to both the designer and the client.

Cost of business is simply everything that it takes for you to operate.""Goals: Ready Aim Fire" from Go Media Zine"If you don’t have a goal and just throw the dart, well, you may hit the wall, you may hit the floor, or you may hit your friend.""Write it down!
