Getting over the creative talent vs expectations hump
When you decided to learn to do something new, its often because you’ve learned to appreciate this new thing, and because you have good taste in judging it.
Take film making for example. You know a good film when you see it, but when you start learning to make film, you also recognize your stuff is not up to par.
Work through it.

The only powerpoint presentation you need to watch to understand healthcare (insurance) reform
Great, simple presentation that lays out all the options. Unforutnately it’s asking a lot of the american people.
1) it asks them to realize that we are going bankrupt
2) it asks them to realize that all options will pay more, and that the decision is really to pick the best of those options…

Nice promotional idea, shame they’re only doing 11 car for bike exchanges. You should be able to trade a shitty car for just about any bike!
