i love the sound of this world health summit - how can we track outcomes of this?

More and more, we’re alone in public. Ha, yes, we are… (not sure if I have an astrological perspective on this)

Quick piece with some links about trendwatching, ‘cool hunting’

2,3 * -Growth * I have the perfect living space * (something disco/radio) * moon Gem

Bono rolls with W for lunch… good example (for me to see) of utilizing influence, power

Oooh… well, I don’t think I’ll be in place, or serious need, for a new Mac come next birthdday. So I guess for this 2nd to last for me gifts - i’ve thought the 2008 and beyond birthdays would be about charities. * Love the idea of receiving this tea of the month club for myself, maybe co-workers

*floor’s monthly birthdays
*quarterly treats (?with dave ppl)
*snak spot

Been thinking for a few days (seems like this comes up in autumn over the years) about buy $100 or 10 (new) CDs a month to support folks with their independent releases + the Soundscan scores. This brings me current, and I could pre-order from Amazon, or wherever. This would come from daygig money, whereas collexion building is really from the Re$ells/initial collection
Some of these CDs I would simply load and resell immediately to recoup AND keep my media close to the same. * I like this - need to sit with it a bit more, because I would prefer to hear the previews on iTunes/web beforehand - at least, sometimes.

I’m feeling good about subscribing to Billboard & EW end of November - hoping i would begin receiving issues with end of year biggies. plus, i feel good in being on rhythm with periodicals reading by/before that.

I like the idea of Toronto for Thanksgiving, yet this isn’t clicking as best. I feel like I may go on a daytrip overnight Friday, whereas I want to be here & out that Sat evening/night. I can fathom doing some theater, project(s), or such that weekend. * Who knows I may even participate in some cooking + group eating… Thinking it would be a place by car or bus… or yes even train. Asbury popped into view (again) before work this morning… we shall see. (I’m guessing the Newlyweds will go somewhere. ) Oooh, now i have pump’in pie on my mind LOL

1,2 * -Tower * I intuit better and better each day * Kevin Lyttle “Turn Me On” * moon Gem

I rested well, and am feeling GOOD, though moving slow physically - still coming to. Mentally, I’m almost too fast for the body, and have flown through a great number of webpages already LOL

I’m moving too slowly - I could be done with this morning’s list already, and need to skee-daddle onto other things including this Word template piece… it’ll happen, trust, lunch soon, and keep moving onward.

Ugh, paper consumption doubles every four years despite ‘paperless office’ being a concept for over 30 years now.

Last June, Matthew Nagle, a quadriplegic, became the first human to receive a tiny brain implant that allows him to control a computer by using only his thoughts. !!

I like this bit from Fast Company editor John Byrne (May ‘05, letter from the editor): Narrative, not facts, guide our thinking. Data on declining market share or quality problems won’t get employees to change what they do. Rather, appeals rooted in emotion are what best inspire people to alter course.

Rodale CEO Steve Murray shares What I Know Now from same FC issue above, page 104; my highlights:

• The business paradigm of any company needs to change at least every five years, and probably these days, every three. What doesn’t change are the values, the brand, the message, the mission, and the customer relationship. But how you do what you do, and what you offer, needs to change.
• I waste the most time on anything we’re discussing for the third time.
• You need to be in a conversation with your customers.
• Interest groups are the new geography.
• We are too much in love with PowerPoint.

Sounds like Buenos Aries is very cool, if quite meat, potatoes & oil from Rex Wockner’s writeup, and blogging

GCN May ‘05 says According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 8% of US high school seniors have tried the drug [crystal meth] at least once. Well, hooray for that * In Europe, crystal meth use remains virtually unknown, but for a drug that is devouring America how long will we remain untouched. ** Um, why is Europe so in the clear on this? And how can we notate, if not learn + implement from this?

OK, why are we spending waaay more per prisoner than (K-12) student? Very uncool, people, VERY!

Why we hate HR - provocatively titled article that helped me think deeper about (my) partnering internally (and externally) to reach company-wide goals.

I liked this Hopi piece, My Fellow Swimmers, that spirit twin shared…

I think this 80 South St Tower (click on SALES; it pans DOWN the building) is amazing! Love the title: The Vertical Manhattan Townhouse

Ah, here again, a bit about the US army having an Internet cafe in Tikrit since 2003 in holland herald (KLM’s in flight magazine).

M.T.A. to Offer Fare Discount Over Holidays - is there a way for me to save a significant amount of mool here, or stick with the unlimited monthly pass?
