"I noticed the following facts about people who work with the door open or the door closed. I notice that if you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don't quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in importance. He who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but he also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important... But I can say there is a pretty good correlation between those who work with the doors open and those who ultimately do important things, although people who work with doors closed often work harder. Somehow they seem to work on slightly the wrong thing - not much, but enough that they miss fame."

More accurately: From Billionaire to Painter. I recall, he wanted to start a business, ViaWeb, to make money, full stop. Now he writes and paints.

Last year I was able to read the essays online. This year I can’t. When I click on them they don’t open. Do you perhaps know why?

“Just” a painter. Pfft.

Back in the days, yahoo bought everything lol.

be careful not to be fooled by thieves who can copy other website and steal any projects others created.

Very cool! Can you make my wife love me again? 🕯

Funny you should characterize painters as passionate (and as the video shows, bold, spontaneous and abstract.) He was not that kind of painter. Rather, exacting and traditional and concerned with beauty and skill.
