Oh, that’s Really. Just. Brilliant. Look for me to steal the whole post (with appropriate linklove, of course!) to expand on a couple of points.
However… if law 4 (Good Ideas, Badly Presented) is true… and you have a spankin’ new presentation format… does that mean your ideas are now bad?
No. The laws are not exclusionary, so this post would count as an amalgam of:
First Impressions Always Stick
Half Baked Ideas Are Better Than No Ideas
Catch Phrases Imply Wisdom
And
Pig-Headed Contrarians Stand Out

By the by, I can’t fit my entire blog address into your comment field… clearly, it can’t be the 300+ characters required to do so. It must be your fault.
Clearly an evolved mind at play here…I believe together we could put a book deal in place with our lists - however, it’s a shame you fall just before me alphabetically - I don’t want to be on seiond billing!
Great list - 5, 19 and 22 I’ve taken to heart…7, 8, 11 beg more explanation..cheers
