Hey everyone, here we go. . . . . .
IN OUR WORLD
Thank God for rescheduling as I got to spend an entire week at home! It was a good thing as despite all my preventative measures, I have been laid low by a sinus infection. Even all my travels, this is the first time I have been sick in over 19 months! Not bad for an old man.
My week in the office allowed me to prep and design for a completely full week beginning on the 17th. Off to
As a result of the strategic planning for 2009 there are some new things on the way:
- New web based templates for delivering key follow up information for participants in my various sessions.
- An e-book on the 21 Laws of Creative Ventures.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Well, I go into another heated discussion with someone that began as a joke about the 21 Creative Ventures Laws. I used
· Many science laws are found in the world of physics. Physics is a field of science designed to root out the nature of reality. It describes what it observes, most of the time.
· The problem is that science is wary of absolutes and with the advent of quantum physics we soon discovered that things that work on the macro plane often breakdown on the micro plane.
· First, don’t confuse theory with hypothesis. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an observation.
· A theory is a testable model, a working set of rules that define a body of knowledge. Think of “music” theory. We know the scale of A-G is the basis of all music.
· A law on the other hand is a series of universal and invariable facts of the physical world, but even with words like universal and invariable, a law can still be disproved as knowledge increases.
Just a little science lesson, besides the business world has been a little boring lately.
ENTERTAINMENT
MOVIES: Quantum of Solace: Last night I was invited to a private screening of this latest Bond flick and WHOA, what a ride! This is the new gritty Bond and he is one very bad dude who can inflict a ton of damage. The action is literally non-stop. Great way to spend an afternoon!
NetFlix Fans: Dr. Syn – The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh – This is an old Disney classic from their treasure series. RENT IT NOW. This is a fantastic story.
TV: Does this ever happen to you? You are sitting at dinner and a large wall mounted TV is showing something you can’t take your eyes off of, to the clear detriment of your dining partner. On Wednesday night ESPN was showing a special called On A Wing And A Prayer. This is a special about a crazy skydiver who is trying to jump out of a plane and land WITHOUT A PARACHUTE. Go to ESPN.com and search for the next showing of this short documentary.
BOOKS: By the Sword by F Paul Wilson. The latest story about Repairman Jack, one of my favorite reoccurring characters. This is number 13 in the series. Start with The Tomb. Repairman Jack (an urban vigilante with no identity) is a really interesting guy written with a little bit of horror/mystical stuff.
MUSIC: This is the latest from one of my favorite indie bands – My Morning Jacket. It’s called; I’m Amazed.

Did you ever wonder…?
- Parade Magazine (the most read magazine in the country) in conjunction with Entertainment Tonight did a survey to come up with the most popular movie stars. Here are the top three: Will Smith (in December run out to the movie theater to see in latest – 7 Pounds), Tom Cruise and Reese Witherspoon.
- The iPhone just replaced the Motorola Razr as the most popular cell phone. That has happened in a little more than a single year!
- Ever wonder who we owe all that money in the National Debt to?
Just a few weird facts.
The weather is outside and it’s raging. It will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls, for the times they are a changing.
