Unfathomable changes I am going through.
Just can’t sit with anyone. Or have anyone around. Nothing feels comforting or worth paying attention to.
Least of all, Marketing.

Do you trust your instincts?
What are instincts?
Dreams, escape, hyper-mobility, voices, spendthriftiness, quick impressions, quick judgments, snappiness et al
By instinct, practiced over time, I take time, offer deadpan looks in response to outrageous stuff, step out to run at really odd times… I trust myself.
Google likes pages that are lists. Even if the lists are really bad, we tend to click and check… Lists pretend to exhibit understanding. Google likes pretensions. Often.
I make lists, only to find out that my mind and my eyes aren’t patient enough to run through those lists ever again.
It is like making these lists are just warming up activities and not the anchors that I often took them for.
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?
The month that allows me to run in the mornings… And then offers me a lot of time to find good books and read some…
You never know when such months pass by, and you never which months should such months be compared to, to figure out a favorite month.
Swiftness forces you to focus.
Being swift without focus, how does that work? Have you seen someone like that?
Focus isn’t always spelled out.
Finding that book to party with.
Themes of the day:
Newness
Sameness
Matching
Between the lines
It’s just another set of words for FASHION.
MBAs promoted and appropriated MARKET TRENDS for their purposes because at some point FASHION felt like a down-market non-intellectual expression.
And while MBAs are good consumers of FASHION, they can barely sense or make sense of FASHION.
Given this, now think about what they do in the name of MARKET TRENDS.
My hypothesis is Non-MBAs do a better job of sensing MARKET TRENDS.
Am reading Brian J McVeigh’s phenomenal A Psychohistory of Metaphors.
It is a mask for ‘reminding’.
If you are good at mindful reminding, you are good at marketing.
Wow! I added that adjective in the second statement. Mindful. Whoever knows that!
What principles define how you live?
First you shape the building,
Then the building shapes you.
Replace the word ‘building’ with some other expressions and see how it feels.
Does the voice of the vlogger keep us from getting bored with the face?
Or is it the face itself that keeps us from getting bored?
Or is it the content emerging out from the face, shaped by the voice that keeps us from getting bored?
Or does one feel like being face to face with the vlogger, like in a classroom listening to the ramblings of a funny teacher?
Vlogging is a big deal.
Machines create books.
Machines create websites.
Machines create machines.
Your website can feel like a book or it can feel like a machine. There are easy machines, funny machines, tough machines et al.
To me, ‘website’ feels like a bad name for an information product. But it has been here for so long. Am sure makers of websites, typically, do not even understand the meaning of the expression ‘site’, off-site and on-site notwithstanding.
It has been difficult to find things that are ‘absorbing’.
Finding things that are absorbing, absorbs me. That kind of situation.
Imagine! Website owners and makers do not want to adopt a simple book-like TABLE OF CONTENTS for their website.
For many machines, you get instruction manuals with such elaborate TABLE OF CONTENTS.
Are websites meant to confuse? To slow the visitor down?
Wall is a strange surface, especially the one that is painted flat with any silly color of paint.
And then the surface of a wall becomes a perennial reminder, a perennial invitation to fill it with something that is not wall.
After you fill it up, it is never satisfying. Have a beer, two, three or more, so that the wall doesn’t disturb you.
What could you do more of?
Recall, yesterday’s conversations and elements that populated my time, in greater detail, and find kinks in intentions of all whom met.
Hello Facebook Machine! I am trying to figure you out. I hope am able to connect the identities with the working without more fuss. Thank you.
