Jeffrey Zeldman had an astonishing ability to craft a seductive coolness using educated references, dry humor, and retro/organic imagery.

I don't have big ideas. I sometimes have small ideas, which seem to work out.

Sometimes, you have to be frustrated and do something unscalable and a waste of your time to be inspired.

There are two main methodologies of open source development. There's the Apache model, which is design by committee - great for things like web servers. Then you have the benevolent dictator model. That's what Ubuntu is doing, with Mark Shuttleworth.
