Scratched an itch, got on Techcrunch

Well, this was not expected. I created a Google Docs userstyle this morning, as you do.

AND, after thinking other people might like it, I sent it around to numerous blogs, as did Jasper who was spreading the word with me. Fortunately, Techcrunch was one of those numerous blogs.

Who said that design OCD was counterproductive?

See the page I made that Jasper sent to Techcrunch - http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/02/add-a-cool-linen-background-to-google-docs/

Death of a man who lived

Steve Jobs passed away today and I find myself surprisingly touched by his death.

I don't see Mr Jobs as a personification of Apple Inc or its products. I see a man who thought deeply about living, what it means, and how to make the most of it. 

Steve Jobs never existed. He lived, something too few people on this planet do.

Stay hungry, stay foolish. Live.

A warm, concise introduction

I am Matt Williams and I like to think about things.

Things I believe:

  • Society is an engine that hedges ambitions, encourages mediocrity and hates change. 
  • Any person who understands that they can change the world can change the world. Understanding is the first step.
  • Life is magical: interactions, emotions, challenges. Don't let it slip by.

Around 1.5 years ago, I founded No Yelling Driving School, and I'm having the greatest time building a national scale business and brand.

I've recently started acting upon an idea for an organisation/community called World Builders. World Builders will work on and incubate brilliant ideas. I'll go into more detail in a later post, as a paragraph can hardly do the concept justice.
