      <title>Rails is not about inventing your own style</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I meant to post this list of quotes I was compiling while at &lt;a href="http://europe.railsconf.org"&gt;RailsConf Europe 2006&lt;/a&gt;, but never got a chance to do so.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is definitely the first time that I have eaten pizza while walking in the rain.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; David Black&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/243107222/" title="Photo Sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/94/243107222_70d65f775c_m.jpg" width="240" height="186" alt="IMG_1457.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Rails is not about inventing your own style.&amp;#8221; -DHH&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/243107203/" title="Photo Sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/87/243107203_ba458ed0cd_m.jpg" width="240" height="133" alt="IMG_1452.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nobody is passionate about something that they suck at.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; Kathy Sierra&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;But it&amp;#8217;s not about the tools you build, it&amp;#8217;s about what your users &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; with them.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; Kathy Sierra&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;What can you help your own users kick ass at?&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; Kathy Sierra&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Talk to the brain not the mind.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; Kathy Sierra&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/243107195/" title="Photo Sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/81/243107195_c174b54cc8_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="IMG_1448.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;My computer might be at risk. Well, oh well. Life on the edge.&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; David Black&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/243693184/" title="Photo Sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/86/243693184_bd13de61d1_m.jpg" width="240" height="139" alt="IMG_1501.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Jonathan Lim also posted &lt;a href="http://www.snowblink.co.uk/articles/2006/09/15/railsconf-europe-2006-memorable-quotes"&gt;a few on his blog as well&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
