quietly working
Aug 12th
I just finished this book called Agile Java Development with Spring, Hibernate, and Eclipse. I needed the refresher. I’m finally building something! I’ve been thinking about my idea for eons (aka about 5 years). I’ve been documenting features, use cases, database models, and fun marketing ideas for about a year now. I’ve been trying to build an initial audience (videos, poetry, & blogging) around my personality and I finally have some fans. Yay! You guys rock! I also worked on my presentation skills, business plan, investment spread sheets, implementation plans, and I founded the company.
personal growth
Jul 5th
I am a being of light and shadow. So are you. People observe that light comes from the Sun and stars and shines on the Earth. Too often we take this for granted. After millions of years the light and energy that has gathered on this planet have been transformed into an amazing biosphere of energy beings. While the source of life remains a mystery we can easily attribute our continued existence to the “original” energy of the thermonuclear reactions of the Sun. The key is that light has become concentrated in us. We feed on other energy beings and grow our light within. We do this with the intention of shining it back out into the universe. I think individually we are pretty bright, and collectively we are absolutely brilliant.
We are so bright we are actually polluting the world with our brilliance. Some people think this picture is a testament of our power, and they are probably right, but I think this picture is sad. To me it shows how greatly we are wasting our light trying to “beat” the dark. The key is we are beings of shadow and light, and to deny our darkness is a division that does not serve us. We need to reach for a balance or our light may yet destroy us. More >
progress happens
Apr 18th
It has been a long two weeks. Here is a summary of what has been happening for me:
1) I got my first business card printed. My moms think it’s super, except the text is a bit tiny for their eyes.
2) I joined a Single Founders Mastermind community started by Taweed at his community site, Braintrust.io. It’s been helpful to have somewhere to share thoughts that is more focused than my blog. In fact it’s helping me revamp my blog to be more focused too, or at least I hope so. More >
quoted and thinking
Apr 14th
A while ago, I said something worth quoting. At least @venturehacks thought so. It was fun to watch the dozen or so mentions roll in with my words attached “My exit strategy is death”. There were some fun comments attached to a few of them like: “that’s commitment”, “HARSH”, or “great start-up one liner”. It got me thinking about my commitment and another idea around selling personal investments. I’ve been reading about a trio who are selling a percentage of their future earnings for a one time up front no strings capital investment. Since, I’m in for life, I wonder if I should consider selling this type of investment.
I’m looking for a Canadian angel to be friends with and have a long talk about the future of politics and how games of significance are the future of advertising. I heard the term moon shot a few times the other day. I’m shooting for Venus, whatever that means.
Would love to hear any opinions or stories about selling future revenue for a cash infusion today.
Thanks for reading!
Dance Video #1
Mar 23rd
I mentioned before that I’m a nut, and also that I am doing tribute videos for my biggest musical heroes. The main goals of this marketing project are to:
1) get some attention from my friends and see if anyone else wants to watch a crazy person make a fool of himself
2) attempt to pierce public imagination and start a viral campaign to drive some traffic to my website
3) during Take 1 show my raw craziness and dedication to my role as wizard for peace (someone called me a propeller head once (I think they were right) (I should get a purple wizard hat with a propeller on top))
4) during Take 2 release do some market research to help identify: A) who my customer is and B) will they play this game with me?
I’m pretty sure it will take more than the first few videos to get much traction, but I’m happy with the results and want to give a big thank you to Daniel Hogg for filming and editing this round.
the love of angels
Feb 25th
For the Love of angels one must hold respect high and sanity low.
When approaching the divinity of humanness one must abandon hope of finding Love that lasts.
Love was never meant to last. It was meant to drive Life to never give up!!
Love has given me over, but I shall never give in to the hell of one sidedness.
Love ridiculously with everything you’ve got, and you will find a magic that only exists in dreams.
And then the angels will dance out the Love of All.
the next decade
Jan 3rd
So I’ve been reading all the predictions, projections, and prognostications of our soon to arrive future. Whether it be the next year or the next decade, I think very few people are aware of what is coming, with a few exceptions like Venessa Miemis. Check out her post about Social Media. I’m going to let the cards tell the story today, hopefully I won’t get in the way of their message too much.
