Maybe “create joy” can be the roof supported by the pillars.

Nice. Steve, we will be in touch as stated via twitter DM. :)

Brian, I like the idea around create joy as a pillar of awesomeness. I guess I look at that as a result or a byproduct of being awesome though. Its also hard for me to measure the joy I am able to create, but is fairly easy for me to measure how many people I meet, how many things I see, how much stuff I do, and how many places I go.

Metrics are important because if it can be measured, it can be managed… Therefore by the transitive property of algebra, inner awesomeness can be managed because it can be measured by the four pillars.

LOL

I really appreciate the feedback, though. :)

I like Molson, just had a couple of them actually. I really like the “Would you prefer…” labels. The last one says, “Would you prefer to inline skate everywhere – or – communicate only via pay phone and pager. My guess is you would say inline skate everywhere.
I still think you need to add the fifth pillar to inner awesomeness, “create joy”. Think about it.

Steve, glad you weren’t creeped out by the on-line stalking and I’m interested in the readitfor.me and plan to check it out.

Chris – it was great to talk to you as well. It’s truly a great time we are living in. If we end up working together, I’ll bring you down a case of Molson for the team (in exchange for man hugs, of course).

Keep up the great work here – I’m still working on my inner awesomeness (what a great idea!).
