I am not you, and you are not me — Transcending the Limitation of “Universal One”
I am not you, and you are not me. That is the way things are. I like that. As you ponder that, let me explain to you why I find tremendous value in that distinction.
Distinctions create boundaries. Without distinctions, everything would be porous and absorbing this information or that information would generate confusion. But that [...]
Wanna Be a Great Entrepreneur? Buy a Hat Rack!
The whole “work hours” thing is a foreign concept to me. Maybe because I just don’t make a distinction between work and play, or (most likely) I just always work. Sometimes I wake up and start work at 2am. Sometimes I just don’t ever go to sleep and take a nap in the middle [...]
I like to swim upstream and my Future is my Past
I like to swim upstream. What this means? Life is a circular mote flowing downstream. Life’s a gigantic circular mote. Most people float and surrender to the currents’ of life’s river. And the unaware people don’t pick up on the fact that it’s merely one gigantic circle they keep revolving in. I’ve surrendered. I’ve let [...]
No More Religious Board Games! Anti-Christianity and Human Herbivore!
Finally, the best article on (anti) Christianity that I needed to read to reaffirm my new intentions, emerging beliefs, and values (Basically I’ve realized that all religions are just clever cult-worshipping myths. They’re just elaborate myths, fables. Jesus isn’t any different from the Hare in the tortoise and the hair or Buddha isn’t [...]

Getting And Staying Organized with UMSD
Basically this specific part is messy and infected with a lot of David Allen’s GTD muck. Frankly GTD is too bloated of an organizational system; you take on a lot of crap you don’t need if you use it. It has some great concepts but as a whole the system sucks. So [...]
NLP Associated/Dissociated State

The Difference between Miramax, Universal, Touchstone Pictures, New Line and all that!
Are they production? Are they for film or productions? Who produces tv or film? How do they handle copyrights or distribution?
Why would anyone want to know this? Or who the hell cares? I DO!! If you’re watching film and have half a brain to think about the process of “How the [...]
Tuesday News Blip: Phoenix Lander!
Astronomy: The Phoenix craft of the “Mars Scout Program” to mars is a $475 million mission to launch and land the Phoenix spacecraft on the surface of Mars and explore it. When you consider the massive undertaking of such a project, NASA’s slim budget of $475 million is extremely frugal, pennies really, but [...]
News Blip: Marathon, Apple Tech, and Felines

POP Suite Part 4: Electronic Organization and "Brain Trust" Part 2
If there’s one thing I have to say about electronic organization, it’s this: close open loops FAST! I’ve surfed the net many a time and accumulated 8 open windows, and over 30 tabs in less than an hour. That’s a lot to sort through. Just develop the habit of executing lightning-fast [...]

Welcome back to the Productivity and Organizational Progress (POP) Suite. Today we’re talking about electronic organization.
We’re jumping straight to the nitty gritty here. In today’s age, “paper-based organization” is an incredibly small percentage of the organization management we conduct; mostly all of it is electronic.

Wise Words on Fame from Some Masters
Clooney had some wisdom on fame. Basically you can still make it at an older age, and should, to carry the success, apparently. Reassuring for young burgeoning actors.
And Crowe had some wise wisdom (that’s totally true, I agree) about Hollywood. People get paid out of there but it’s not necessarily The Hub [...]
