Summer Fun, Danger Signs, and Bad Decisions. //
Another vignette from my autobiography... In the summer of 1975, my friend Paul and I decided to ride our bikes to Camp Dearborn. This became one of the greatest adventures of that summer. It didn’t end well. It might have been the summer of 1974...

Creativity vs. Underachievement

One definition of creativity is “approaching a need, a task, or an idea from a new perspective.” Perspective is a point of view or way of looking at an object, an idea, or a situation.

Each person has a unique way of viewing circumstances.

Availability is a virtue, referring to the willingness and readiness to be present, accessible, and engaged with others or for a purpose when needed. It reflects an open-hearted disposition, where a person prioritizes being there emotionally, physically, or mentally for those who rely on them.

Tell me about your life, and some things you've learned. I'll start. While building websites for over 20 years, I’ve developed 10 criteria to evaluate a website. (Some people only use 3 or 4 criteria.) dougvos.com/10-criteria-... #webdesign #webstandards #testing

I love this quote: "Always be yourself except if you can be a Fox then always be a Fox." Yes, I'm always a Fox -- everyday. Especially, since my last name literally means Fox in Dutch. #Neerlands #Netherlands #Dutch #Fox #FoxOfTheDay
