A human being is a great opportunity.

"A human being is a great opportunity. They are an unfinished work of art. All others animals are content in some way humans are not. Our goal is not to attain the contentment of a cow but discover what our discontent is leading us toward. Our inability to settle for the shallowness of what is usually taken for “life” is sign that something priceless is growing in the womb of our being."

The World’s Shortest Marketing Plan

	What	Why	When	How	Who
Product	What does the product have to do?	What articulated wants or unarticulated needs does it fill?	What is the window of opportunity?	How will the product fill these wants and needs?	What is our best guess at who is going to buy our product?
Presence	Where in the virtual and physical world do we need to sell our product?	Why will the marketplaces and market spaces distribute our product?	How will our presence change during the lifecycle of our product?	How will we establish and maintain a presence in the important locations?	Who are the decision makers at the marketplaces and market spaces?
Persuasion	What are the social factors in the buying process of our product?	Why will people recommend our product to others?	When can we credibly go after opinion leaders and early adopters?	How do we ensure that comments, rankings, reviews, and counts portray us in a positive way?	Who are the relevant opinion leaders and persuaders? Which communities must we reach?
Preference	How do we enable customers to express their preferences and to personalize what we do?	Why would people take the time and energy to express their preferences?	How will customer preferences change over time?	How do we capture customer preferences? (Customer ratings, transaction history, search behavior, and configuration tools?)	Whose preferences do we care about?
Price	How much do we sell our product for?	Why is this the right price point?	What is our pricing strategy through the lifecycle?	How do we set and reset the price in a world of “perfect information” and dynamic pricing?	Who will demand different price points? Which segments do we care about?

Guidelines on alt texts in img elements

"In HTML authoring, there are very good reasons to include an alt attribute into every img element. The purpose is to specify a textual replacement for the image, to be displayed or otherwise used in place of the image. Thus, the prime rule is: Consider what the page looks like or sounds like when images are not shown. Then, write for each image an alt text that best works as a replacement."
