  • Accuracy – What You Really Say

    I got this from @KaleoPastor.  He was showing me a magazine advertisement for the HCSB, and read the paragraph and pay attention to the last line. The last sentence talks about how Accuracy is the reason why you should get the HSCB Study Bible – the only problem is –…

  • We Call It a Disorder

    …. but it’s so not.  It kinda bothers me that we call it a disorder. So we think we understand human developmental processes.  The Industrial Revolution has mechanized the human and has declared all of these processes normal.  Then when something is different than that, it’s a disorder. Then a…

  • LL37: Steve Jobs Lesson 2 – iNO

    If you’re interested in the first Steve Jobs Lesson – click here.  Just a quick reminder that these leadership lessons are the ones that I am learning. Steve Jobs is good at saying NO.  He says NO to Flash.  He says NO to tethering.  He says NO to other phone…

  • Facebook the Verb

    That’s what one of my friends said to me today.  I haven’t seen him in a year, and I happened to see him at lunch.   It was a pleasant surprise, and after we caught up for a bit, he said “Facebook me.” It is now possible to “Facebook” one…

  • Plans Don’t Inspire, Dreams Do

    Dreams + Plans; don’t stop dreaming

  • The Psychology of the Coolest

    I wrote a post on the Psychology of Cool.  And I used a graphic to demonstrate who was cool.  Then I came across The Law of Diffusion of Innovation – check out the wikipedia entry.  The entry uses a similar graphic, but according to the Law of Diffusion of Innovation,…

  • LL33: A Picture of Your Words

    Once again, these are leadership lessons that I’m learning – my leadership lessons. At every organization, there is a stated mission statement, and then the mission statement that is carried out.  There is the vision that is carefully crafted and branded on all of your print material – then there’s…

  • Blend Science and Art

    It’s so sad to me that we have to Blend Science and Art.  It’s not sad that we have to blend it, but that it was “de-blended” in the first place.  I mean, you can’t really blame anyone for it – although we could point to a few things.  At…

  • PUREMISSION.org

    Would you like to raise awareness of the millions of orphans in Malawi?  All you have to do is check out their Facebook page and “like” the page.  A donor will donate $1 for every like – up to 10,000 likes that they get.  You can raise awareness for the…

  • LL 32: An Opportunity to be Amazing

    I haven’t written a leadership lesson lately – although I’m learning tons about leadership.  Last week, I asked my server at a restaurant if she was amazing.  She came to get my order and I ask, “How amazing are you?”  My main motivation was to order something off menu –…

  • What You Read In Books

    I just bought the book Rework by Jason Fried & David Heinmeier Hansson.  They are the 37 Signals guys.  They’ve created some pretty good stuff.  In their book, they talk about how they have built their company and sold software and ideas to millions – but they didn’t do it…
