this is one of those ideas that I could never quite articulate. It’s like you learned a new word, but it’s not a word.

Great + great + great post.
Lemme make my own list: baseball cards, sticker books, Laser Tag, Legend of Zelda, BBSes, Prodigy, The Secret of Monkey Island, video game fanzines in early 90s, Street Fighter 2, disposable cameras, Yahoo, links.net, Puppet Motel, the Aladdin virtual reality ride @ EPCOT, Hypercard, CU-SeeMe, thespot.com, Orange Source (Syracuse webzine), QTVR, New York City, Moviefone, Craigslist, Citysearch, Vindigo, Modo, NYU/ITP, Bass-Station, PacManhattan, Mogi Mogi, Friendster, Pokemon, Flickr, Delicious, Nike+, Big Urban Game, ConQwest, CrossRoads, Sharkrunners, Twitter, FFFound, MuxTape, PMOG, Feltron Reports, Guitar Hero, Rider Spoke, Guitar Hero on a Bike, Epic Mix.
#1 source of inspiration? These two guys who co-founded the first real startup I worked at: Vindigo. ”Build things that make people’s experience of the world better” was the lesson I learned from the 12 months I worked there. And seeing these guys (who were 28 at the time?) make it happen was hugely inspiring in a if-they-can-do-it-I-can-do-it type of way. Working all day and then leaving work and seeing random people in the streets/bars/etc using the stuff that you worked on all day was the single most eye-opening thing to happen in my career.
