‘When I'm bored, I browse through my friends' Facebook images, choose my favorites, and draw them.’ Beautiful and hilarious.

‘At the end of the first run, they see bad ROIs. They tweak the ads and spend more money and try again. Nothing. So they stop, understanding that Facebook ads are worthless.

‘The job of serious web developers today is to ignore the siren call of Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Adobe, or any other comers that would define the parameters of the web for them, and instead build the best experiences possible.’

‘If I search for “basecamp” in Google and wind up at a mountain climbing equipment supply store instead of the 37signals product I wanted, it is not Google’s fault (or 37signals’, or the camping store’s) if I start banging my head against the screen and asking “Wheerre are my prooooojectsssss?????”’

All a bit creepy.
