I love this Walt Disney quote from the post: "We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies." That is exactly what separates great content providers (the top 1%) from hacks (the other 99%). HN commenters often dismiss John Gruber as the uber-reflexive Apple fanboy he is, but posts like this suggest there are deeper waters.

There are deeper waters, but I tired of wading through the muck. Anything of his ( like this ) that is interesting enough to me to read, usually comes to me through here anyway. Except when he posts about the Rat Pack. Or baseball.....darn it.

IMO this is the best quote from the article, and pretty much gets to the heart of it:

The entire quote-unquote “pro blogging” industry ... is predicated on the notion that blogging is a meaningful verb. It is not. The verb is writing. The format and medium are new, but the craft is ancient.

In other words, as I read it: create content which is meaningful to you and engages your passions, then publish it.

(2009). Best talk I've ever heard.
