Lately, I hear J. Cole’s rework of Paula Abdul’s Straight Up 2 or 3 times a day, but her version works better for this overview of last years iPhone pictures. Love Forever!

Howard Lindzon got me thinking the other day when he posted
“I finally got a sales call from LinkedIn $LNKD. It only took 9 years. I guess the ‘funnel’ of web optimization and no human interaction is coming to an end for the big guys….The year 2012 will be about extending the web funnel through hard core human interaction – not just optimizing your website. That will involve persistence, even chasing.”

I imagine this applies not only to business, but also to my social and personal life as well. What do you think?

I got an email from Google today:

For me, marketing is obsolete!

Yes, it takes all kinds of coffee shops!

As with people, it takes all kinds of coffee shops to make a world!

I started watching The Orgasm Diaries, but 40 minutes in I just wasn’t feeling it. I took a break and ended up thinking about those same old used to be’s. I recalled James Taylor’s song and found this video. Yeah, I used to need 4 walls and a honky tonk angel, but not now.

I can’t sell!

No more painting a picture of tragedy, planting the seed of larceny, or pushing through sheer force of will to make a sale.

Who knew?

It was sad to hear of his passing, but he has a beautiful line in this song –
The problems come and go, but the sunshine seems to stay.

Over the last two months I’ve watched Hereafter about five times. Not because it’s about people dying, but because it’s about a place where people go to create realities, and that’s what we’re all interested in, isn’t it. Creating our own reality?
