This video nearly took my breathe away. EXACTLY my “real world” take on what Web 2.0 means to the world after strip off the crap that is venture capitalism, talk of “Bubble 2.0″, etc.
Web 2.0 to isn’t about new businesses… it is about changing how old businesses, people, etc. are perceived. You have to understand who Gary is and what he is done to understand his perspective fully but it is spot on. And for those who have no idea what I am talking about… you (and your business) may get left behind soon.
Once again… long time no zittiblogs. I am about to get back in the habit ;-).
Lets get back to politics. It has been awhile. As we all know, the republican candidate is chosen and the dems are still fighting. No matter how you look at it, we are down to three and my guys is not one of them (though he will go uncontested in his race to be reelected to congress). So let me address the remaining in relation to my actual presidential vote to be cast this November.
Most importantly, there was only one candidate that I believed in. I love the Obama enthusiasm, it feels like the Ron Paul enthusiasm of a couple of months ago, but there was ONLY that one candidate that I really believed. So now, I am listening, and I am the quintessential “undecided voter”.
TO THE DEMS: If you want sure thing on my vote, there is only one thing you can do… nominate Hillary. This will ensure my vote goes to the republican, even if he does want to win in Iraq, even if it takes “a hundred years”.
TO THE REPUBS: If you want a sure thing on my vote, there is only one thing you can do… make Ron Paul McCain’s running mate. He\’ll never do it, but if he did, the candidate on the democrat is irrelevant. Give a great man that much voice and you get my vote.
I have never voted democratic in a presidential race, but it might happen. These two routes to a republican “sure thing” may be the only thing that sways me back away from the masses that Barack Obama is pulling together.
Today I played golf. I played badly, but on March 9th I actually played the first round of the year. My score was terrible, but I remembered (as I do the first time I go every year) that I love to play golf.
The last few years, I have not played golf with any real regularity. I bought a house in Denver specifically to be near a great golf course. I then went to work at Ernst & Young, and proceeded to work all the time, travel all the time, and play golf a whopping 5-6/year for four years. 6 rounds multiplied by 18 holes/round equals a total of 108 holes. 108 holes/year multiplied by 4 years equals 432 holes. 432 holes since graduating college… NO GOOD!!!
Well I am done with Ernst & Young and done with not playing golf. There was a year in either late junior high or early high school where I played something on the line of 1710 holes IN ONE YEAR.
We are working hard to start a business and I recognize that I still won’t get to 1710 holes again, but I am going to play twice a week. That is my goal, no chance I will make it, but I’m going to try… and hopefully I will also have a new golfing buddy to go with soon!! So, when you see me, remember to ask me if I played twice that week and of course let me know when you have time to get in a round!
