Shit... some days I feel like a serious multiple-personality train wreck.  |
OH MAN I don't envy you. That is a really tough position to be in. I remember when I started. My wife (and biz partner) would see me surfing for a few hours and say I was wasting time. Sometimes she was right but often times I needed a few hours of surfing to clear my mind and get ideas for design and look. It's something I do far too little of now. I know our free site webmasters aren't doing it enough. They get stuck on our sites and don't look around. You can't work with blinders on.
