MFCEO – Blades (Explicit)
[YouTubeUlar] <— 3,547
MFCEO Kenny Powers plays Steve Jobs and introduces his new K-Swiss product idea and explains where it comes from... BLADES.
“What do you ladies say we take a trip to uranus…
Get it?
Genius.
Manuel De Los Santos

Social Networking does work... how else would I have noticed that Boyd Easley watched this video, and then posted it for me to find.
“Manuel de los Santos is one of sport’s most inspirational figures. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, he played baseball from a young age and by 2003 was planning to turn professional. But a motorcycle accident changed his life forever when he lost his left leg above the knee.”
Excited for some golf season to be rolling around. It was 65 in Golden today, going to be the same tomorrow. Time to hit the range.
New Lines by Jokke Sommer

This video will hit most inboxes within the week... good to see that Jokke Sommer is somehow active after Jeb Corliss grounded himself [2,176,844] earlier in the year.
Watching these two compete back and forth on the internets is like watching a fight to the death. It’s absolutely mind blowing the adrenalin rush one would receive from accomplishing some of these lines – let alone watching someone else do it.

Hugh MacLeod – Our Potential
“What determines who we are? Is it that we settle? What is good enough? Do we find happiness? How do all of these things shape who we are?
Our “potential” is infinite. As endless as the cosmos. We are endowed with the power, ability and opportunity.
What gets in the way of our potential? Lack of drive? Lack of interest? Distractions? More likely: Not knowing what you really want.
More than ever, we live in a world where on a personal level, nearly anything is possible. We ARE the sum total of our choices, and these choices should lead us to happiness. I’ve always thought that a key to happiness is aligning what you want with what you are willing to do to get it.
We’re not talking morality, we are talking your appetite for 16 hour work days, travel, ass-kissing, office politics, screaming kids, etc. If you can live in that sweet spot of doing and getting what you want, you are living your potential.
And, your potential is all about being happy.
God Bless.”
Are you happy?
Hugh MacLeod – Be Spontaneous
“Spontaneity is one of life’s great joys. It is a way of breaking out of a daily routine that can seem like drudgery.
It is a way of being playful, bringing joy and embracing possibility. It is one of the gifts that free will offers.
Try it today. Turn right on the way home, instead of left. Do something, anything, that you haven’t tried before.
See how a little thing can make a big difference to your quality of life.
Some people have turned complaining into a science. We see that some cultures have a greater propensity to complain. Coffee’s too hot, food’s too cold, boss is a jerk, Starbucks double half caf mocha frapaccino wasn’t quite frappy enough?We all know people who do it. It validates. It lets people vent, but is it the right thing to do? In my experience, complainers are generally hard to be around. Their complaints usually fill the narrative gaps of what they feel are flaws in their own lives.
After all, why be successful when you can sit around and complain about everyone else who is?”
100 thousand million percent agree.
Rock on!

DODOcase – Clean Shaven Patrick Buckley
[YouTubeUlar] <— 182
“As the winner of the Green Side of Business program, presented by GOOD and UPS, San Francisco’s DODOcase was awarded $10,000 to to invest in sustainability efforts. Learn more about what they did to change how they do business.”
Congratulations Patrick Buckley and DODOcase for winning the Green Side of Business Award and being a part of this nice little production.
Back in September Lance Atkins, aNt Rogers and I had a pretty fun night hanging out with the DODOcase crew in San Francisco. This random night included beer, football, more beer, ping pong, lots of ideas, amazing views and even lasers.
Thanks for the hospitality Patrick – but don’t forget you still owe me a DODOcase from our first annual DODO vs. Blackbox Case ping pong tournament.
Rock on!

HYDLE + Godin – Happy Leap Day
While playing in Winter Park with Mom for Leap Year – I came across a nice little email from Seth Godin while relaxing by the fire.
“Leap year meditation
Once in four years, just once, perhaps we could:
Forgive, forget, relax, care, stand out, speak up, contribute, embrace, create, make a ruckus, give credit, skip, smile, speak truth and refuse to compromise–more than we usually do. Pick just one or two and start there.
Hey, it’s just one day.
Careful, though, it might become a habit.”
Thank you for the inspiration you provided us throughout the rest of the day Seth. We had already accomplished most of your meditation techniques… just needed to focus on a little skipping!
Rock on!

HYDLE – Steamboat
So after a massive dump in Steamboat… Drew Stachnik, Brian Goldrich and new friend Eric Bojan and I decided to rally like 12 year olds. It’s always good to visit your childhood roots.
I’ve never heard of this band “Big Gigantic” before we took a little warming hut rest in the yurt above the Pony Express and some guy popped it on the donated stereo. It is hard for me to say what their boulder following is all about, but it was good enough to edit to.
Just remember… two dudes in a hot tub – is okay – if it’s in the day.
Rock on!

Hugh MacLeod – Haunted
“This is kinda my life story, up until quite recently.
I always knew I had something, even if I couldn’t quite say exactly what it was.
And it haunted me, it really did. Because until I got to the point where I could articulate what my life purpose REALLY was (and make a living doing it), life didn’t seem that real too me.
What? This? This is my life? I’m supposed to schlepp around for low wages? Forever?
I’m just glad I persevered. I’m just glad my dream just needed a wee bit of pen and paper, that it didn’t need a cast of thousands and a lot of capital to get off the ground.
Thank God for the Internet, is all I can say….”
