Hey I was just watching your interview with Kevin Scott at 'Behind the Tech' (I'm doing some research on Google Docs) and I wanted to let you know that your comment about life and work resonated with me. That idea for most people that 'work is equivalent to suffering'. The 'find the thing you feel kind of guilty about getting paid for, do the hell out of it' is a great mantra. Well said!
I found that that soon enough (writing about tech, I've got a BS in Computer Science) and I remember my father —he died sometime ago— always looked at me like saying: 'But you're enyoing your work, something IS wrong' :) I guess he always thought I would end my days at Deloitte or some place like that suffering each day of my life.
Thank God I didn't end like that. I'm sure in the end he agreed with you and me and is smiling from somewhere.

Good to tell this little story. Take care :)
