Nice post from Seth Godin
Every project (product, play, event, company, venture, non profit) has a million tasks that need to be done, thousands of decisions, predictions, bits of effort, conversations and plans.
Got that.
But what's the hard part?
The CEO spends ten minutes discussing the layout of the office with the office manager. Why? Was that a difficult task that could only be done by her? Unlikely.
The founder of a restaurant spends hours at the cash register, taking orders and hurrying the line along... important, vital, emotional, but hard? Not if we think of hard as the chasm, the dividing line between success and failure. No, the hard part is raising two million dollars to build more stores. Hard is hiring someone better than you to do this part of the job.
Hard is not about sweat or time, hard is about finishing the rare, valuable, risky task that few complete.
Don't tell me you want to launch a line of spices but don't want to make sales calls to supermarket buyers. That's the hard part.
Don't tell me you are a great chef but can't deal with cranky customers. That's the hard part.
Don't tell me you have a good heart but don't want to raise money. That's the hard part.
Identifying which part of your project is hard is, paradoxically, not so easy, because we work to hide the hard parts. They frighten us.
Got that.

Camera and iPhone on a weather balloon
This is awesome!!! Kid and his dad plotted to send a camera into space on a weather balloon with an attached iPhone to transmit the location of the device with the GPS.
After a few hours, they find the camera and the iPhone in tact.

Awesome job application - Greame Anthony
This is the best job application I've ever seen. Seems that Mr Anthony has raised the bar in these parts. I understand that it was so good that the head of YouTube invited the man in for a coffee to discuss the video.
Nice work Greame - Good side parting too
