Amy and I love to read. Growing up, one of my favorite places in the world was the hammock in our backyard with a book.

Whenever I’ve had a crummy day, I often go online and fund a project or two.

There’s a building. In a back room, a guy peels potatoes. Out front, two people sit at a table. By the door, a person answers a phone. Does that make the building a restaurant? No? Would it become one if the guy peeled potatoes and oranges? It’s an absurd standard. It’s also the same one we apply to demand generation. You have a website. You blog. Visitors request demos.
