Quote of the Day

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

I find Google’s quote of the day to be quite profound:

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”

- George Bernard Shaw

Clarification

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Just to clarify, as I have been getting quite a few responses to my last post. AMEX did not steal my idea. Nor am I necessarily sure they stole anyone’s idea. But, woot.com, as far as I knew, were the pioneers behind the “one day, one deal” idea.

I was originally pointed to woot.com by Seth Godin’s blog, back in September of 2004.

Sorry for the confusion. Happy Monday :)
