I work on a laptop specifically so I can work in cafes and pretend I'm part of the human world.
Maybe the biggest thing that I've learned musically is that anything is possible. Things can work when maybe they don't seem like they can.
With Instapaper, I can take a few months off. I can't stop publishing 'The Magazine' for two months and work on something else.
