| | rantnrave:// ANGELLIST's NAVAL RAVIKANT said on TWITTER, "Forty hour work weeks are a relic of the Industrial Age. Knowledge workers function like athletes - train and sprint, then rest and reassess." I agree. Most of the strategic issues at REDEF have been related to continuous doing. Head down. Working crazy hours just to produce the day. No time to take a breath. No time to see the future. No time to dream. And by definition that keeps you in place. Long hours used to be a badge of honor. Working smart is the way to go. All those extra hours, at least for me, didn't deliver any big ideas. They just exhausted me and contributed to near burn-out. My best moments are on walks. Or just sitting outside day dreaming. Having a vision and not knowing how to get there is a 40-something's version of the terrible twos.... Can a digital media non-commerce consumer product be successful without a significant social component? The biggest products often have some sort of personal expression and publishing. Do users go where their friends are? Will they virally promote a product they have no real personal stake in?... From my pal AMINATOU SOW: "This was a bad week for men who just won’t shut up"... Thanks to STARZ's JEFF HIRSCH, I watched the first 4 episodes of the new season of POWER. Good, escapist drama and tension. Everyone has an angle. No one trusts. Lots of camps facing off. 50 CENT still a menace. No spoilers here, but it's fun and a nice step-up from prior seasons so far. Yo, Hirsch! Where's my OUTLANDER?... What shocked me most about the KELLY-JONES interview? After all the talk, hype, and controversy, it was just 1 of 3 pieces on the show... As I've mentioned, I crave comedies lately to combat real world dystopia. I've watched NEIGHBORS and NEIGHBORS 2 a few times. Why is SETH ROGEN the only one complaining? Where are the other neighbors? The block association? Why does a man have to stand alone? He answered me. I love Twitter. So does this mean a dystopian NEIGHBORS 3 with a JASON BLUM-like narrative?... Is there any TV personality that suffers more from world events than ANTHONY BOURDAIN? PARTS UNKNOWN is routinely interrupted or skipped due to CNN breaking news. And often that coverage is a live loop with absolutely no substantial information, exhaustive repetition, and irresponsible pundit speculation. This week the TRINIDAD episode. I was raised by a GRENADIAN and they had lots to say about the "Trinnies", so I was super excited to watch. The rerun isn't on until Friday. I'm definitely not taking cable news with me in my GO BAG... What it's like to be COURTNEY HOLT's kid... Better living through playlists at THE DOWSERS... Happy Birthday to BOB GARFIELD, CHRIS KANTROWITZ, LAUREN CORRAO, JENNA SHANIS, LISA CHU, BOB MORRISON, BRENDA SPOONEMORE, CLAUDIA CENICEROS, and STEVEN STARR. Belated to STACEY SCHWADRON, KELLY POSNER GERSTENHABER, ADAM WINNICK, NEIL ARMSTRONG, SHANE STEELE, KIERSTEN SKOG, DAVID HIRSCH, ROBERT FLAX, and MIKE BROWN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
