"As my kids were growing up I got a piece of advice that stuck with me all these years. The first was when our oldest daughter was 6 months old, and a friend was holding her. She looked at the baby then looked at me and asked, “Steve do you know what your most important job with this baby is?” I guessed, “Take care of her?” No. “Love her?” No. “OK, I give up, what is my most important job.” She answered, “Steve, your job is teaching her how to leave.” This was one of the most unexpected things I ever heard. This baby could barely sit up and I have to teach her how to leave? My friend explained, “your kids are only passing through. It will seem like forever but it will be gone in a blink of an eye. Love them and care for them but remember they will be leaving. What will they remember that you taught them?” For the next 18 years that thought was never far from my mind."

Reminds me of something my dad said to me when I was 10 or 12... something along the lines of the point of having kids is not to keep them kids but to make good adults (for the next generation).
- Clare Dibble
That's the problem with kids: if you raise them right, they leave just as they become interesting; if you raise them wrong, they stick hang around until they're 30, but they just sit on the couch watching TV.

Good advice unless you're Asian. Then you are taught never to leave the fold!

Good advice unless you're Italian where this is impossible :)

Great article for anyone trying to balance work and children, whether you're an entrepreneur or just love your job and tend to work to much.

Besides a phone, what I am missing about Twitter? It can either be useful or I can follow everyone I know, but not both.

Is that hacking, or abusing RSS?
- Louis Gray
I meant hacking in the sense that it's a hack. That's all.
- Jonathan Tran
looks like they already "fixed" it; I can't made a search's RSS link into a Blog entry on FF anymore
- Toby DiPasquale
seriously? well you can still add them as imaginary friends, which is great. I discovered this all about a month ago. Maybe they listened to me after all, and pushed the change along with their last release.

hmm, what if you got the Twitter XMPP firehose, extracted all links and text and then built a reddit-alike out of that?

hadn't seen Twitterbuzz... I guess what I'm talking about is somewhat similar, except I was thinking about auto-clustering on topics and also actually resolving TinyURL and such links to their destinations ;-)
