October is quickly fading
Month: October 2011
It appears I am only traveling as the sun rises for the sun sets either way it is a beautiful autumn drive

Friday Poem
At first glance I thought
it was a leaf falling through
an October sky,
but when it spread its
bright wings—I saw it was a
monarch butterfly.
Had to get my morning Fix.
It’s raining.

‘Unresponsiveness reflects badly on a brand’
It’s a good time to strengthen my personal brand. Here’s a good, timeless tip:
“The fundamentals of making a name for yourself and standing apart from the competition are simple and, one would assume, basic common sense. So it comes as no surprise that one of the biggest, all-time, don’t-even-go-there no-nos of business branding is…being unresponsive.”

“Japanese breakthrough will make wind power cheaper than nuclear”
Japanese breakthrough will make wind power cheaper than nuclear
A surprising aerodynamic innovation in wind turbine design called the ‘wind lens’ could triple the output of a typical wind turbine, making it less costly than nuclear power.Great news! But keep in mind, this is still just a render. IT’S NOT ACTUALLY IN PRODUCTION, which means it’s hard to make those kinds of statements. I can make a model say whatever I want, it doesn’t mean the system can actually produce that. The last thing our industry needs is more unfulfilled promises. Just look at the $500 million mistake of Solyndra…
So the morning commute starts a bit early

#1 root cause of small business failures
Got this tip from a business mentor of mine:
“If you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work.
And the reason it’s fatal is that it just isn’t true.
In fact, it’s the root cause of most small business failures!
The technical work of a business and a business that does that technical work are two totally different things!
But the technician who starts a business fails to see this…”

Quote: “Warhol is beloved by the right and the left for exactly the same reason…”
Warhol is beloved by the right and the left for exactly the same reason: he performed a ritual purging which seemed to deprive the art work of its complexity, freeing both those in power and those fascinated by it to talk about what really interests them, namely power in the land of commerce.
