One of the things i've learned with doing 'xkcd' is that you sort of give people, 'here's the thing, and here's the button you can press to get another thing.' sometimes that can be more easy to digest than, 'here's a long page of things.

I'm sure a lot of you had this experience when you're changing. you're growing as a person and people tend to treat you like you were 18 months ago, and it's really frustrating sometimes when you're growing up and you're more capable. it's the same thing with a company and the press. the press is going to have a lag time. the best thing we can do about the press is embrace them and do the best thing we can to educate them about our strategy. but to keep our eye on the prize, that is turning out some great products. the press and the stock prize will take care of themselves.

He was beastly tired, but it was hard to stop. one more book, he had told himself, then i'll stop. one more folio, just one more. one more page, then i'll go up and rest and get a bite to eat. but there was always another page after that one, and another after that, and another book waiting underneath the pile. i'll just take a quick peek to see what this one is about, he'd think, and before he knew he would be halfway through it.
