Startups, Business, and the Value of Doing Good
A few years ago, my father-in-law went to Canadian Tire to get his car's flat tire patched. When he got it back, rim and all, he took a look and realized the guy – whose sole job it is to fix flats and put tires on rims – had put the tire on the wrong way. It was the end of the day, so my father-...

eReader Typography: Why it’s Broken & How to Fix It
