Tuesday night Life Success Seminars hosted their annual gathering of greatness.

I just wanted to share a link to the live video stream.

I am proud to share this link as a Life Time Member of Life Success and an example of the work I do at Prestige AV & Creative.

New Media Cincinnati Met Up today at the University of Cincinnati in Swift Hall.

Todays format was Pecha Kucha style.

Essentially a PowerPoint type presentation.  20 Slides for 20 Seconds each.  I presented some business networking tips.

I will be developing this slide show further but here is a sneak peak.

I found this Photoshop contest to create a useless electronic addition to the Olympics.

I could not resist.

Here is my entry.  For contest details click here.

Capture some Electricity at the Games!

Get creative!

Don’t name the streets in your McMansion villages all the same name.

Cherry Creek Lane of of Cherry Creek Trail off of Cherry Creek Court just past the stop sign at Cherry Creek Boulevard.

I guess if all the house look alike why have different street names.

I done with this rant.  I am going to do something original today, I am heading to Starbucks.

Seth Godin, posted today about Icons like Marilyn Monroe, Jackson Pollock and Mona Lisa being unbroken.

If its not broke don’t fix it, when seeking to create an icon; seek to build a new one versus replace an existing icon which is still working.

With less than 5 minutes on Cuil.com a new search competitor for Google, I am wondering if it is actually the subject of his post.

That’s a B*&ch!

But it’s the truth.  I am currently reading the book “Satisfied Customers Tell 3 Friends, Angry Customers Tell 3000″ by Pete Blackshaw.  I had the opportunity to see him speak at a release for another product, but I can tell you he is on to something.

Since I am focusing on positive things for the next 21 days.  Tell me about your good consumer experiences.

Mine is seeing the movie “Wall-E”,” I highly recommend it.

I could not pass this one up.

“Lars and the Real Girl” is a phenomenal movie about perspective & people. Lars the key character in the movie played by Ryan Gossling is a emotionally stunted man living in a small town.

Lars for the most part is socially stunted and keeps to himself. He is living in his families garage until he learns of an online website where you can purchase anatomically correct plastic dolls.

Lars sees this as an opportunity to break out of his shell. He purchases one of these dolls (naming her Bianca) but creepily carries on a relationship with this doll bringing her to parties and social gatherings. At first Lars is the talk of the town and the butt of the joke but Lars and Bianca win over the town.

Eventually the town embraces Bianca as a real person taking her to social events and even competing with Lars for time with her.

Eventually Lars find himself growing more social and starts to fall in love with a “real girl” Margo. Margo is a quirky girl from work. Lars finds himself in a dilemma and his only option is to allow Bianca to die.

The movie is so sweet and charming that I found myself falling in love with Lars and Bianca. Bianca became a real person.

I miss her.

Check out the movie you love it.

My neighbor said, “they will never make it in that location.”

I transplanted these lilies from and obscure location in my back yard to my front planter.  I wanted them in a location where I could see them every day.

Last year they did not do that well, but this year they popped up with a vengeance.

Follow your heart, its always worth the chance.
