T Mobile Dance

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Some spirited fun from the folks of London, England and T-mobile. Maybe during this economic down turn we should have more semi-spontaneous moments that bring a reprieve from the mental enslavement of recession talk. Just imagine if you could do this every day for 2-3 minutes. Yes, it doesn’t pay the bills or put food on the table, but it does bring a lift and keep you engaged in the vision.
Thanks to Dominic Hoffman for sending me the link.

1981 Primitive Internet Report on Kron

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I just received a RSS feed from my blog colleague Brooklyn Ron about a news report in 1981 regarding internet newspapers. When I watched the video I had to laugh because it again demonstrates the pioneering spirit that has made America great, and what we need most of all in 2009 to move ourselves forward.

Mickey’s Birthday Party (1942)

Mickey Mouse is a symbol of many things: Hope, fantasy and new energy. Walt Disney had faith that his vision would work, but it wasn’t until Mickey Mouse was born did the Disney’s fortunes change. In this time of economic upheaval and discussion on stimulus packages, it may be time to look to a new way of living.


Trying to recapture what has been lost is sometimes like looking for a needle in a haystack. Your odds of finding the needle are slim, and if you do find it, you just might forget why you were looking for it in the first place.


This is a time for real change not parallel changes, but death to the old and birth to the new. Mickey, always represent the spirit of the New, no matter how old he gets.

UP in Smoke ?

Friday, February 6th, 2009

I’ve been wanting to write an article on the Phelps issues, but Mike Edison, former editor of High Times, beat me to it and pretty much expressed my feelings on the matter. I would also like to state that when I use to get high 23 years ago, kelloggs frosted flakes where my favorites. I get tired of these companies acting like they are saints, when the world itself is made up of people who make mistakes every day. If Kellogg is really about presenting a pristine image, than they should make a public statement that reads as follows.

“if you smoke pot, don’t eat our cereal”
