About Me:: I'm a freelance writer, sometime screenwriter, and a thinker who wants to do it better, every time and always. How does the brain really work? Can we achieve ultimate creativity? Why ask why? Where's the beef? Are we there yet?
Some of my favorite people: Lance Armstrong, Johan Bruyneel, Tiger Woods, Bill Gates, Win Wenger, Michael Michalko.

so just saying "hi"

Back soon - assuming I am succesful with my latest efforts and can find the spare capacity. Being supporting during this sort of stuff can be a key to success. So you have my support.

Cheers
Mark

I also look forward to getting to know you better. Your view on life and the extent of your influences and knowledge have certainly impressed and helped Mark.

Guess, along with John and Mark, we can all get a bit overwhelmed with things. Mark thinks that, on the Hub and with e-mails, he has maybe pushed a bit too hard and off the wall. Sometimes less is more.

I hope we may establish some common bond, on whatever subject. Mark is now quoting from and examining sources he hadn’t heard of until the Hub but is following your good advice.

Although my life is family first and work second, for now the work seems to be taking over. Can we find a topic we can chat about to take us wherever it takes us?

When you can

(with apologies to Celine — yet another Canuck)

We're just in the last throes of preparing for Mindcamp. Our theme this year is Mind the Gap. We have creativity leaders coming from 10 countries, and participants from several more. I think this will be our best one yet, and I'm really looking forward.

It's no Titanic, of course. Our budget wouldn't have bought coffee on the set for a single day, but we have fun. If you're interested and maybe thinking about next year, check out our website.

And if you do, let me know what you think.

Take care,

Tim

I also discovered and am this minute working on Google Chrome beta.

Google is God. Bill Gates is Satan.

Hope all is well with you, your family, and your work.

Sound like interesting projects.

Damn it! Now I can't reference your comment to me, in order to respond to each of your points. Bad glitch in this system.

Had to open another window... There.

I've heard so many people go gaga over Win Wenger, it frightens me. But the book sounds like a great opportunity. And a very interesting concept--translating to children. I believe that we are worse for the fact that, at least as far as I've seen, children aren't taught critical thinking. All students should know how to smell out logical fallacies and specious arguments.

Did you see what I wrote about Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt?

Actually I didn't write about Phelps, just used his picture.

Can you write about your screenplay?

At 8:02am on August 24, 2008, Barbara said…: Hi Tracy,
I'm Mark's wife.

I may not find too much time for the Hub and the thinking but friendship is a good place to start.

Thinking about things, if you contact Mark (Abrahams) he and I will talk and aim to correspond.

What about your freelance writing? What's going on these days?
