Aiming for less than greatness

I figured it out.

The only thing worse than not knowing your if work sucks is knowing that it does.
Worse than that, however, is having your work kick ass, but the client sees it on some ancient computer that's running IE 3.o, and asking you why it looks funny.

I look at the stuff out there on the web,
Sites that looks great, the programming never fucks up, and I want to scream, or at least borrow the skills of the people who made them.

I want to be that good. I want to be able to look at my work on a 15 year old mac and have it still look right.

I really do try to learn, try to improve, but I'm just too damn busy being mediocre and making money at it.
