Feel the fusion

[Originally posted @thesunrising.com on November 5, 2007]
Like many people, I think I can write. Like most people, I really can’t. Still, that small fact will not stop me from publishing a movie script (page by page) that my friend Jaspaul and I started (and stopped) waaay back in 2003. We started the script with the intention to share some of our stories with the world (starring us, of course). We stopped working on the script when we realized we had no idea what we were doing. We wanted to pick it up again someday but more than 4 years later fusion rots away on my hard drive.
Until now : )
It’s (supposed to be) Good Will Hunting meets Save the Last Dance meets School Ties meets Spaceballs. Please note that the script is Rated R for language, adult situations, and poor attempts at humor (like that Spaceballs mention).

Good Magazine & “Steal This Idea”

Image
[Originally posted @thesunrising.com on November 13, 2007] First off, I want to make a plug for  Good Magazine . Great content, wonderful community, and the best part is that when you subscribe 100% of your money goes to one of 12 non-profits ( Kiva  just recently became an option!). Plus, you’ve gotta love their tag-line:  A magazine for people that give a damn. The reason for this post is to highlight a section they have called “Steal This Idea”, which I love. Folks with ideas for something / anything that’ll somehow make the world a better place can write in with those ideas, and then the editors pick the ones they like and profile one per issue. What I wish they’d do  different  is make it more of a democratic process and allow readers to  vote  on the ideas. An open flow of innovation between Good Magazine’s self-selected readership could spark some really big things, and help GOOD ideas become GREAT ideas. Yeah? You with me? Oh fine…I’ll be honest. I submitted an idea and

Book review: “Made to Stick”

[Originally posted @thesunrising.com on September 24, 2007] Book:  Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die Summary:  When marketing anything, keep these six concepts in mind if you want your message to shtick: Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional, Stories; yes, my friends, that spells SUCCESs. If it sounds like too much work, these two concepts also work: Free, Sex (noooo, that’s not in the book…but it  works  I tell you!).  Recommended?  Si. It’s a quick, fun read full of interesting anecdotes and examples that make the book’s message more *concrete* (a-hem). If you’re never going to pick it up, at least read a breakdown of the six principles on the  book’s website . One(ish)-liners for each of the six principles: Simplicity – boil it all down to the  core  message you want people to walk away with….the  one  thing they should know/do…the  key  takeaway….the  essence  of your point…the singular (okay, I’ll stop). Unexpectedness – generate interest
