The Fortune Cookie Sums It Up

Tags: Life, ColdFusion

My girlfriend was just cleaning out her kitchen and I was eating all the old Chinese Fortune Cookies she found (she's a vegan and I'll eat most anything that doesn't have flavor). I came across one fortune cookie that read:

No profit grows where there is no pleasure to be had.

I think that this is at the very foundation of what Kinky Solutions is all about; pleasure leading to profit, leading to growth. I try to use fun to learn and to teach. That is what Skin Spider is all about really; a fun domain to teach ColdFusion application development. Hey come on, the fortune cookies never lie.

@Ben, I think you're going about this the wrong way. You're trying to use complicated techniques when there is a simple and beautiful technique readily available (a la Gary Funk's comment). Instead ... read »
