I want them to know I want the job, I'm qualified, did I tell you I really want the job, here's what I've done every place I've ever worked, here's what I had for breakfast, do you know...

Why are so many companies and ad agencies unable to grasp the importance of social media to their bottom line? Proctor and Gamble gets it. Johnson & Johnson gets it. And so does Wal-Mart. But the bulk of advertisers in America and their agencies are ignoring the tremendous growth of social media. It isn't just a fad and it isn't a new channel. It's an entirely new opt-in way of doing business. As Seth Godin described in the Cluetrain Manifesto in 2001, five years before most marketers p... Read Full Story

(Detail from a Postcard, Unknown Artist) “Leaving The Ashram” is the third chapter of "Entering The Stream," a trilogy describing an episode of intense introspection that will most likely open our second album. An instrumental suite in four movements (Meditative Walk, Running The Last Stretch, The Tabla Master’s Enigma, and The Ordinary II), it was originally put together in 2004, way before the other two chapters, “Into The Ashram” and “The Chrome Lake.”Once reflection and healing have...

Good Morning! I've got the next edition of iCycle 1000 on the way. It should be on-line by Thursday. It's a simple process. Write the show, show some video, edit some video and post some video.

(Polygraph from U.S. Patent 4,333,084) The first part of "Polygraph" is entitled “Exposition” and aims to evoke a somewhat peaceful and relaxed dialogue, before the relationship slowly degrades to the point of sourness as personal values and beliefs are questioned and subjected to criticism. The Discipline-era King Crimson influence is undeniable here, and to my ear the second variation sounds like something from Steve Reich’s “Drumming.” I have a particular fondness for that piece of ...

(Dante and Beatrice gaze upon the highest Heaven by Gustave Doré) "Waking In Heaven" is a relatively short composition that starts with a minimalist approach, goes to the grandiose, and then takes a leap for the celestial. An irresistible mood lifter for me, it works well on its own, but I have a feeling that it could end up as the concluding part of a suite. Once was a time I can recall Before the spring after the fall Far from the glory of it all Distressing doubt was standing tall Ev... Read Full Story
