what i'll be sharing on behalf of the lab:

it’s ok that this video sucks right now.
if it would have been perfect, this guy, and this guy, and this gal, and this gal, might not have felt the pull/allure to join us, to help us create/do better.

the why brings people together in ways that will matter most.
work on your why.
find a topic/speaker/person at rscon11 that will strengthen your why.

and don’t wait for perfect, just do. do what you can’t not do.
waiting is, well, waiting.
and perfect never comes.
imperfection creates spaces/invitations for unlikely people to become indispensable.
what’s next?...
it’s happening.

perpetual beta.
