The wallpaper of this week is a design I created inspired by the Heroes series.

The book of this week is Poke the Box. Written by Seth Godin, Poke the Box is very inspiring and motivating about initiating and shipping.

You don’t need to wait for a boss’s okay or to be told to push the button; you just need to poke.
