5 Things I Believe In (Early 2015)
Creative evolution and risking looking stupid by taking bold steps. Independent thought, never letting another person tell me what to think when my mind is boundless and capable of freedoms seldom reached on physical/material planes. Interacting with the world, with all of its symbols, rules, and inconsistencies, in a way that respects my shifting worldview. Improving myself through…

Red Tape Race
Quickly quickly quickly moved the four young men with trim haircuts and matching vaguely-fitting brown suits. They went to the registration table, and then to the check-in table, and then to the second registration table, which eliminated one of the men because he didn’t have the correct documentation.

Drag Ideas Through the Mud
Creative work starts with an idea. Or ideas. These are the ingredients that form the organizations we interact with, the products and services we buy, the media we consume, and the tools we use.
