Well, the founder of PeakD recently interviewed me to discuss improvements to their UI, my collaboration with SPK seems to have launched, and the advice I've been giving @dining.gifts keeps going forward as well, so... progress? Plus all the chatter in the comments of this post inspired me to write a sequel, too. :) Thanks for asking!

You're right about enthusiasm often being at it's best when tempered with emotional detachment, especially in teaching... and I've been burned by that in the past, so now I do my best to practice such things.

Whether that's the direct 'Art Of War' quote or not, the principle is fairly sound, and worth aiming for, I'd say.

Big love indeed! Wishing you a great day!
