Greats in business
« Previous EntriesThe end of the playlist: @kcrw eclectic24
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010The end of the playlist is here. At least in my world.
I’ve been testing eclectic 24 on @kcrw through apple tv and other means and it (literally) rocks. Now, with any party, I’m going to just hit the radio stream and my whole house is full of continuous great music. Very little talk. No ads.

Brilliant mini-film “The Sandpit”
Monday, March 1st, 2010This is about as brilliant a hand-made film for the web as it can be. If you think about the work that was put into this and how it was shot to seem as if everything was a model (or at least to me it did), you have to agree it’s great. Really great. Makes [...]
More Toyota
Thursday, February 25th, 2010It seems to the Hothead that we need to keep reminding ourselves that the GM cars that weren’t great last year and ultimately caused them to file BK are no better this year.
By the new numbers, it seems Honda, Nissan, and Ford are getting the bulk of the cast-off business from Toyota thankfully. These car [...]
Toyota recall
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010C’mon guys!
Why do you stupid Americans make it so easy for the Hothead?
This wholesale bailing on Toyota as a country has got to stop!
First things first:
The fact that we all of a sudden buy American cars because Toyota has a massive recall is call for an examination of our complete process of capitalism. GM up [...]
Resetting the home-based worker environment
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Working at home like I have for over eight years is no picnic. If you’re in my boat, you know it’s a big uphill climb — every day. For sure, there is lots of upside. But we pay for the freedom as well. Our psyche pays too.
Thinking today about how the home-based crew — me and [...]
What Matters Now
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Here is a link to a very good e-book by Seth Godin and friends. Read it and pass on!
Reversing mistakes
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009I take no credit for this dialogue about reversing mistakes in conversation, but I think it’s really useful. If you’re not hooked up to Harvard Business Review’s once in a while blog report, you should jump on. I hope you do.
Just breathe
Monday, November 16th, 2009I’m a runner. Most of you know.
The key to success in running is good breathing practice.
I started boxing class with the folks at @scubagrove’s Cypress Park Boxing Club in LA and again, breathing came up as the main force in my success.
@cooler_guy sent me a post today from Peter Bregman. I forgot how the Harvard [...]
Got things accomplished in a difficult week
Thursday, November 12th, 2009You can do it.
If I can. You can.
I’ll be back at Peet’s tomorrow to post more caffeine fueled fun (and become Mayor I hope), but I was able to hit the week strong and through VERY bleary eyes accomplish some things.
Good sale. Check.
Financial state better. Check.
DMV crisis solved. Check.
Mort news good. Check.
Great shoot at the [...]
