Given your prolific nature of creation, have you done a "startup" or an "entrepreneurial" venture that can scale and even generate profit ? Just curious why or why not ? I would assume you could start a great side company based on your portfolio.


I've obviously thought about that a lot, but I'm not very business-minded. I have a few Mac apps on the App Store that generate some revenue. Perhaps most potential money-generators don't strike me as intellectually interesting?


You and I are kin — that is, of a kind. I too do wood working projects, random coding projects that seem interesting. Apps on the AppStore that barely pay for a run to Starbucks. I exercise more than you do, watch as much TV, read perhaps a little less.

A little surprised (or not) about the people in the thread wondering where you find the time to be so productive (I get that too). Probably the simplest answer I have found is, "I don't watch TV." Usually staring at their feet follows.
