I’m seeing this kind of thing a lot lately:

I seem to start writing a lot of stuff that I can’t be bothered to finish. Or, equally, I write stuff that I decide is stupid, and so I decide not to post it. The latter, at least, is good, I think — I’m being my own editor. And everyone knows that every good writer needs a good editor.
Therefore, I am a good writer.
37signals had some downtime recently because of a failure at Rackspace.

Inspired by this talk about ideas, I have created the Idea Exchange Rate.
