Get Excited and Make Things

It boils down to this: If you wanna publish something awesome on the internet, figure out what really and truly obsesses you. Then follow it. Let your desire to be awesome lead you, versus your desire for ad clickthroughs. If you succeed, then further success shall come.
This is lining up to be my guiding principle for a lot of what I hope to do in the foreseeable future.

(Personally, my own breadth of obsessions only gets wider and wider, the longer I live. The skills I need to improve are judgment as to what's worthy, and post-novelty focus.)
