“One ball off the first tee, play it down, putt ‘em out, keep and post the score.” Golf provides a mirror and an honest reflection of one’s true character. Let’s play.
If you’re not changing, you’re falling behind.
Fresh ideas in progress
- I seek a digital lifestyle. Not the “Second Life” kind, but I like my notes on an iPad and my files in a cloud. I collect some thoughts on Substitutes. And I take quick digital photos as “proof of meeting.” Here’s my Photo of the moment, a process that began on 9/1/07. Or you can visit Burrisland, the album.
- We’re building from the ground up a better marketing proposition for home furnishings. Our work with Stanley Furniture and Young America is stimulating some of our best thinking. But the challenges are greater than one company can solve. We have to somehow change the industry.
- I Backpack my reading and clip file. Evernote does this kind of thing too, but I prefer this kind of scrapbook. For now.
My Media
- App: Steelcase Neocon Showroom Want to know how your company can get more mileage out of its trade show exhibit or showroom?
- Blog: The Genius Cup Guest blogger, yours truly, has fun with The Ryder Cup.
- Broadway Danny Rose A.O. Wilson’s “appreciation” sent me to Netflix to watch for the first time. Classic.
- Music: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, London Calling – Live in Hyde Park This rocks me in places I shouldn’t feel anything. I could watch it over and over.
- Music: The Suburbs, Arcade Fire From the title track to the reprise, this is less anthem-centric and much jauntier … if still a bit depressing. Love it.
- Web: Arts & Letters Daily If there’s a more enriching time waster on the web, I’d like to know what it is. On second thought, I’d better not know…
- Web: The iPad Got yours?
