The particular drama appeared to be artistic differences, etc, but Bryan's closing statement in his announcement struck me pretty hard:</p> <blockquote> <p>I will put my time, energy, and talents towards the projects that give me the most fulfilment, and where I am afforded trust and respect. Life is too short to do otherwise.</p> </blockquote> <p>It's only two sentences, but it represents an attitude that I think more of us could stand to adopt. When I read it, I can think back to the moments in history where I <em>didn't</em> follow this idea, and regretted it.</p> <p>It's something I'll keep in mind the next time I consider contributing to a project.</p> <p>-z</p>
