I am hopping on the Make it your Drink Brigade from Starbucks.

I dont' even go to Starbucks that much!

The Wizard

Recently I have taken a likening to the Wizard of Ads.

Roy H. Williams.

In reading his three "Wizard" tomes on Advertising, Business and Life, I have really gained new insights on communication and healthy lively persuasion.

Good stuff!

STUDIO 60

I think I might have a new Favorite TV show.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

We’re only two weeks in, but really have enjoyed it so far.

Weird – I like looking at the behind the scenes stuff – since most of my work is behind the scenes in a “creative environment”, on a weekly show for radio.

::Unrelated – but related::

Last night, I spent way too much time watching tv – yet I felt I wanted to watch Heroes – I was kind of underwhelmed.

Cool thoughts from JWT

After reading a recent Fast Company Issue,

I was intrigued by J. Walter Thompson (JWT) – and what they do – so I went to look them up online

Here are some cool things that they have on their site:

• Stop interrupting what people are interested in and BE what people are interested in.

• Clients aren’t creative Kryptonite

• Always have a point of view. Its pointy.

• Great Ideas are Bouncy. They have to bounce around to get bigger and better – they do no good if you don’t let them fly off walls and gather momentum.

• Great ideas are sticky too. As they bounce, they are added too – and the more that sticks, the better the idea can become.

• Its not how many ideas you have had, but how many you have made happen. Anyone can have brilliant ideas, but can you make them happen?

• The ‘fun’ word. People have their best ideas when they are enjoying themselves.

• The People we love:

Are curious about everything
Beam positive energy
Stay hungry
Say what they think
Laugh out loud
Are fiercely competitive
“can do” anything
Champion ideas
Listen
Lean forward
Play hard
Move fast
Sweat the detail
Take risks
Love challenges
Perform miracles
Share the credit
Take the fall
