One of my favorite things about the blogsphere is being able to keep up with the thoughts of people who I identify with and I find inspiring, such as David Seah, getting introspective:

The strategic acquisition of know-how and critical insight is my perennial hobby/career. I?m not sure I would call it a passion, but it is a strong part of my personality. What I am passionate about is the application of those skills on the behalf of other passionate, empowered, kind, conscientious, positive, upbeat people who are trying their best to make a little headway on the universe.

It occured to me as I was reading his entry, that one of the reasons I like working at ThoughtWorks is that we have a higher than average proportion of people that fit the description above.
