Work Has Changed

Posted on Posted in Valley Hi

One of the first “brainstorming” sessions I ever attended was at an Ad agency. The lead of the session had worked for decades at BBDO, had even known Mr. O. The tone of our effort, and the level of work we were expected to produce is demonstrated by the memo that was circulated to the invitees of that session.

come prepared to imagine. bring your first 50 ideas. do not try to perfect them.

What would your next meeting be like if you were asked to bring your first 50 ideas? Aren’t you glad you live and work in such a hyper active, super productive, ever communicating, go get em culture where you get your ideas off the internet as you drive to work?

Horns All Around

Posted on Posted in Valley Hi, webionaire

For those of you who use the horn as a car locator, a beacon of noise for your blind eyed stagger thru life with too many things of too small moment. For those who think the horn is a doorbell saving your ass from wiggling up the stairs. For those of you who think the horn can’t be heard, that you are to be ignored, just as you would remain ignorant of me. Beware. The sound you make in what you treat as your private parking lot, that place is in my sight. It is my front porch, and you leave your car in my care. Beware. The noise you hear may be one hand laughing.
