Power of Play

Friday, August 7, 2009

Freedom is actually a bigger game than power. Power is about what you can control, but freedom is about what you can unleash. But what about the Power of Play? What good could possible come from all this screwing around? Brooks Lambert and friends were lounging in the back yard grilling some steaks and drinking [...]

Sell in Unusual Places

With a title like “Everything Men know about Women”, you would expect it to be a short book.               Really short. In fact, when you flip it open, it’s nothing but blank pages.             LOL! Everything Men know about Women has sold well over [...]

Seth Godin and Fractals

I wonder is Seth has ever heard of a Fractal. As most of you know, I almost never post articles one day right after another on Tangent Time. I am always trying to be respectful of your time. But I want to make an exception today because I think this video is a great follow [...]

Facebook and Fractals

I’m kinda new to Facebook and learning about social media the way most of us are; diving in and skinning our knees along the way. I think it is really interesting the way such a simple concept like Facebook can be so viral. You start out by simply signing up and searching for a few [...]

“Always be on the lookout for opportunities” We have all heard some version of that more than the name Michael Jackson since June 25th, 2009. Yeah we get it. We all understand the basic concept: keep your eyes and ears open. (I wonder why “nose” never made it into that cliché, it’s just as important, [...]

Arbitrary Rules

“QUIET PLEASE” When Tiger’s on the tee box, why do the fans have to be quiet as a church mouse? The ball’s just sitting there. It’s not rolling, flying, spinning, or dribbling. Why do we have to be so quiet? Who came up with this crazy rule? One peep outta yah, and your 86’d for [...]

Apollo 13

Communication is a funny thing; it requires both a sender and a receiver. And both ends have flaws. Both lack clarity. In the case of human communication the flaws are countless; more flaws than a Microsoft product. They’re almost always there, even though we don’t realize them. Going to the bathroom is pretty easy for [...]

Cowboy Frank

Can a gay cowboy really be an expert in computer stuff? I use Skype every day to make calls for my business. I don’t even have a landline anymore. I have used Skype from time to time for video conferencing, but I have never used it with my wife. I wanted to install Skype on [...]

Cell Phone Drivers

“Why does every woman have to talk on her cell phone while driving?” “That’s pretty chauvinistic, don’t you think?” “Why do you say that?” “Because just as many men talk on their cell phones as women do.” I thought I was right, but I have been known to be wrong in the past. Lots of [...]

Rental Car Retards

The backend of the Jeep Cherokee hydroplaned 45 degrees to the right. Despite our driver’s severe height challenge, my friend “Corn” managed to keep his cool and recover our 4-wheel coffin from extinction. This tragedy would have resulted in holding up traffic for minimum of 2-1/2 hours. However from his amber-putrid expression, I think he [...]
