Virgin America and Google and Gogo are winning some hearts and minds by doing this free wifi promotion. If you think about, it's only natural to have free Wifi on every plane, on every flight. (And until that happens, you can just use reMail :-)

I was flipping through some economics books last night, and found this gem about Alfred Marshall, founder of neoclassical economics. We should all aspire to be like this:

"A lesson I’ve learned from both working in a start-up, and more significantly, working with so many start-ups for the last 15 months, is how easy it is to look at a marketplace and see nothing more than a list of must-have features."

'But the guy who says "I have a great idea and I'm looking for other people to implement it," I'm wary of - frequently because I think the process of idea-making relies on executing and failing or succeeding at these ideas, so you can actually become better at coming up with ideas. It's something you can learn, a skill, like weightlifting. That failed, that worked, continue. You begin to learn how to make ideas. So if you are someone who can't execute and all you can do is to come up with ideas, how do you know if they are any good? You don't know if it's a good idea until you've executed on it. '

Check out these reviews for reMail on the App Store. Just saw them pop up. Just another positive thought on a great Sunday night.

It used to perplex me when I read about people who liked what they did so much that there was nothing they'd rather do. There didn't seem to be any sort of work I liked that much. If I had a choice of (a) spending the next hour working on something or (b) be teleported to Rome and spend the next hour wandering about, was there any sort of work I'd prefer? Honestly, no. But the fact is, almost anyone would rather, at any given moment, float about in the Carribbean, or have sex, or eat some delicious food, than work on hard problems. The rule about doing what you love assumes a certain length of time. It doesn't mean, do what will make you happiest this second, but what will make you happiest over some longer period, like a week or a month. Unproductive pleasures pall eventually. After a while you get tired of lying on the beach. If you want to stay happy, you have to do something.
