[iDevice Link] <— 0 views. I managed to make it up by 3:00pm for 2 runs and 3 beers. The snow is fantastic and Mary Jane is expected to open on Saturday.

“Warren Miller… for 86 years that man has known what’s up. Get your ass out of the office – pack your car – ride a bus – carpool – get your ass to the mountains.”

Two things to note…
1) Monday – Thursday: Pass holders get $1 off beers (Blue Moon, Mary Jane, Coors Light, Coors O) at the Sunspot Bar and you can get a burger and a beer for $10.

2) Happy hour at the Derailer bar from 2:00pm – 4:00pm is fantastic. Cheap food specials + $2.50 Coors Lights + O’s.

Get your mountains on.

[iDevice Link] <— 22,727 views A nice revisit to a good friend doing good things. I asked Chris back in May when he posted this video what he was possibly thinking about when he conceptualized this idea...

“Just trying to push the limits of extreme, I wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before. I consider this accomplishment as important as the invention of the internet, or even television for that matter.”

Genius.

We care a lot about finding people who are brilliant, who get things done, who make a difference. We care a lot about finding a playwright with talent, a surgeon who can cure us, a programmer who can get the thing to work.

Along the way, many of the linchpins who are able to do work like this develop affectations, quirks and even obnoxious qualities. They might demand an over-equipped dressing room or a private jet or merely be a jerk in meetings (or show up late, which is almost as bad).

We often put up with this, because, after all, they’re superstars, right?

Somewhere along the way, we confused the signals with the work. Now there are people who start with the bad behavior and the affectations, hoping that it will be seen as a sign of insight and talent. And they often get away with it. “Who’s that?” we wonder… “I don’t know, but they must be good at what they do, because why else would we put up with them?” It’s a great plan when it works, but I don’t think it’s a strategy to be counted on.

The key to getting a reputation for being brilliant is actually being brilliant, not just acting like you are.

This is not the original… don’t know why they would have pulled it down. A little upset over it, but I will post a replacement.

Am I ahead of the curve… or behind?

I feel special – Only 8% of the american public are considering standard cell phone purchases in the future. Which happens to be the exact same percentage of people considering the new Windows phone.

What happened America? Apple used to own only 8% of the ENTIRE computing world… and now they own everything. Yin Yang – maybe a Windows Phone will be my future? Their ad campaign is certainly genius enough.

But since they don’t allow you embed their commercials (horrible microsoft – but traditional to your brand) – they just got dropped to almost.

Not for me.

Hide and Go Media – Concept

‘Hide And Go Media’ Temporary gallery installations 6-12 month installations:

Infrastructure (must be inexpensive):

Downtown commercial space near colleges (slightly off the beaten path)
Simple beverage snack bar (coffee – Hydle has the hook up)
Wifi (must capture audience and allow users to upload)
Electricity (helps sometimes)
Simple gallery decor, white / black walls ready for audience art and participation
Modern comfortable lounge furniture
As much street side glass as possible (so when it is closed the media can still play and crowds accumulate at the store front)
Need hot event coordinator to book events, preferably single…

Concept:

Media age has caused every individual to amass absurd amounts of video. So much we have no use for it all, or even have the time to look at it. Concept create a physical space for people to bring, create it on the fly, dump it and show it. No need to edit, just push play and watch ourselves raw 24-7. We can set it up for all media, from 8mm, 16mm, VHS, digital etc. Fill the space with as many screens and projections, displays as possible, gotta have the overwhelming factor. It could be almost like a ‘Physical Facebook Space’, almost mocking in nature. Allow people leave a picture / video of themselves by instant up load to the server. Feed the ‘disease of me.’ It could be a place to blog old school, by writing on the actual walls with real pens, paint etc. The gallery space would morph based on the city and culture. Travel city to city, start in Austin, TX. At the end take a picture and hit DELETE!

How to make money:

Private events
Concerts
Donations to Joel’s Foundation / Film Schools
Sell lots of coffee
Sell real art (the good stuff)
(NEED MORE THOUGHT HERE! PRETTY IMPORTANT PIECE HERE)

Ideas…Go, More!
