March 2013
Today I got exactly what I needed: a lesson in aligning with the Tao. Along with a fabulous hike in the Hollywood Hills.
If all goes well, I'm going to sleeping on a boat in Amsterdam this time next week.
This morning's fun research - Helicopter flight school. I'm thinking for the summer.
Hello London. (@ London Heathrow Airport (LHR) w/ 14 others) http://4sq.com/14tu2vv

Good morning city of my dreams!
Firetrucks going bonkers in WeHo. Wondering if it's something to do with the Marathon...
Spent way too much time today looking at RTW tickets and train rides up, down and across Australia.
@jeanettiepoo yes, a Leper-con did happen one year. I forget the details. You want to volunteer for next year. ;)
Sometimes twitter seems so full of hot air. I long for substance beyond top 3, 5, 10, N, case study lists. You don't need a guide to do.

imageSome good comments at #ideaseconomy but a lot of typical corporate perspective. Still feeling a huge disconnect btwn mgmt & making the new.
Disconnect in innovation come from putting your money where your mouth is. Must truly believe and commit funds. #ideaseconomy
Hard to commit to innovation because it's scary, unknown and ROI is inconsistant. And no one rewards failure. #ideaseconomy
@deaneconomou I'm finding it a good immersion into the big company perspective on innovation. #ideaseconomy
@deaneconomou yes, I liked some of his comments.
How do you nuture disruptive innovation in an organization? #ideaseconomy
A: CEO must defend the baby/new ideas. #ideaseconomy TRUE as long as person stays in power/influence.
So innovation in large org depends on the power structure. #ideaseconomy
