Its probably a throw-away line, but

Do you think I could fit all that and still get straight As and have lots of time left over for playing World of Warcraft? No.

spoke to me. I gave up World of Warcraft to start my business. The business pays rather substantially better and takes up much less time.

I sometimes wish I had enough graphical talent to bling out my UI with incremental visual rewards ("purple pixels") for various accomplishments, as a means of self-motivation. Charts help, but if it were charts and little icons of e.g. "2k visitors in a day, have a new blue Boots of Modest Traffic!", well, you'd probably have to bring a crowbar to get me away from the business.

On second thought... no trophies.
