    4. (1) Sin of Abstraction ” When you go too far up, abstraction-wise, you run out of oxygen. Sometimes smart thinkers just don’t know when to stop, and they create these absurd, all-encompassing, high-level pictures of the universe that are all good and fine, but don’t actually mean anything at all .” - Joel Spolsky
    5. (2) Sin of Introvercy © Joshua Porter: Home alone? The role of content aggregators
    6. (3) Sin of Isolation http://www.flickr.com/photos/brendio/147026911/
