Season 3 Episode12: The Danger of Optimism: What Goes Up Must Land

  This week continues on from the theme established last week. It turns out the “As Good As It Gets” philosophy isn’t working out. Or, at least I don’t know how to make it work out. I also update you on my crazy idea from last week. Through this discussion I eventually get to my point. Life is great when you are enthusiastic and inspired but starts to suck once you bring reality into the picture. This week’s question: How do you keep your enthusiasm for something after the initial inspiration is gone?   I also discuss an Open Source game called TDD recommend to me by a fan. You can check it out here.   Corrections: In last weeks episode I said Australia didn’t have public healthcare. I lied. Apparently, for Australian citizens medicare covers 85%. Still my point stands. Healthcare in The UK and Canada is way better then anything we have in the States. But, hopefully, our healthcare will suck less with the new law.   Music Featured: Raindrop Rhapsody by Josh Eikenberry Down Under by Michael Guardian Go forth and email nicnacjak at gmail dot com Go forth and follow me on Twitter or Facebook using the links on the right Donate.
