I have been reading Seth Godin's writing for many years. He is a big inspiration. He has such a true and real voice. Making drawings like this spark my memory about some of the most important insights I glean from my idea heroes. Perhaps doing this will help me apply the ideas more effectively in real life. That is the challenge: how do we extract great ideas from books and writers and use them in life to make things better? 

Seth,

Thank you for all your clear thoughts and encouraging ideas. You are making the world and the people in it better.

Your website is a database driven site, which means that in order for it to function it needs program files (these are the files that provide functionality) and the database—this is where your content actually lives. When viewers click on links in your site, Drupal goes to the database and gathers the necessary content. The program files then display the content on the viewer's screen according to the design and layout Canister developed for you.

As design entrepreneurs, we don’t want to work with just anyone — we are always looking for a good fit. We think you should too. A good fit makes the work meaningful, constructive, and enjoyable — a bad fit makes everyone involved very cranky.
