"I'm not a businessman / I'm a business, man" - Jay-Z

Deep insights about building a business - it's all about the cult personality. You build the business around the idea of a person. The question is, does creating an image of a person change the person? I've made a strong effort to not let my work influence my personal life - even getting to a point where I simply don't tell people anything at all about what I really do.

The question is, when you finally accept the fact that "roy" = "tabulas" and promote this idea to people, what happens when "roy" moves on?

This is a one-man operation, but reading middle_aged's recent post about his one-man email operation shutting down makes me want to make Tabulas ... something more permanent.

For now, all I know is the "roy" is Tabulas' advantage.

Currently listening to: Kanye West - Diamonds Are Forever (Remix)

I never would tell people I worked at the Police Department, because I could see they were not comfortable with me once I said that. I just said I worked for the city. :-)
