I am best when I have work to do. Work is my drug of choice. Work obliterates the painful reality of neo-tyranny. Work dulls the unbroken monotony of soul choking bureaucracy infected society. I get high knowing someone needs me to get things done ASAP and when I rise I need not decide how to [...]
Facebook has made changes again. Corporate Silos are in the blogs again. Most address privacy concerns but privacy concerns only distract us. We lost privacy when we obtained credit cards and agreed to pee in cups to get paid for our talent. How much less private can it get, really? The real threat? Corporate silos, [...]
August 9, 2011 Some people see dead people. Some people see stupid people. I see the Tower of Babble – every day – everywhere. People speak and write, cajoling and persuading with words; words that do not mean the same thing to the persuader and the persuaded. We all speak the same language here? Or [...]
Story shapes our lives. Stories are everywhere At the office we are story-tellers when we share last night’s adventures and tell sly little jokes.

Identify one of your biggest challenges at the moment (ie I don’t feel passionate about my work) and turn it into a question (ie How can I do work I’m passionate about?) Write it on a post-it and put it up on your bathroom mirror or the back of your front door. After 48-hours, journal [...]
What’s one strong belief you possess that isn’t shared by your closest friends or family? What inspires this belief? What have you done to actively live it? Language contributes more than direct experience to the realities people adopt. Our species is the symbol making species. We recognize and create patterns. We employ symbols to simplify [...]

They’ve given me fifteen minutes and a keyboard. Idiots. They have no idea how foolish I can look in fifteen minutes. To begin – We waste age.
