Break Loopholes with “Glow Sale”
Ξ September 18th, 2011 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
This post is inspired by my recent trip back from Vegas.
I felt dehydrated, and with the scrutiny of security at the airport, something as basic as water is not allowed to pass through.
But with a little creativity and determination, a solution may arise to help escape you out of your trap.
Here’s an idea – seven quick steps that worked for me to bypass regulations, with an easy to remember mnemonic.
Although trivial, “Glow Sale” may be applied to a situation where a law or an obstacle is in your way. It may work, it may not, but at least you’ll feel better knowing you tried to set yourself free!
Steps for finding Loopholes / alternatives
ie: water bottle through airport security
G: The ‘G’oal
ie: thirsty
L: ‘L’aw
ie: no water allowed during security check.
O: The ‘O’bstacle
ie: security will make you throw it away.
W: ‘W’onder, ask questions to find any exceptions
ie: how about empty bottles?
S: ‘S’cope of the law
ie: during security check.
A Scan for ‘A’lternatives outside scope of the law
ie: is there water anywhere before or after security check?
- water on plane, but costs $3 bucks
- drinking fountains near bathrooms after security check.
L ‘L’oop to the initial goal:
ie: bring empty water bottle through security and fill up water bottle after security check.

It’s not my space anymore, it’s ‘my taken over space by media i dont care about’.

Was just at myspace. Thought i’d share some thoughts.
There’s so much media going on, seems to look more ‘nice’ than anything i need or feel or want.
Myspace once asked me what I would do to bring the site back – i said ‘announce myspace is dead, wait 3 days, and come back like Jesus did.’ now i’d now add to that, to have ‘Tom’ add everyone he can on through facebook and invite them over to the new ressurected myspace! It’d be a cool message inside those invites if Tom would write something like
i can’t believe what Fox did to myspace, i know yall are on FB now, but i bought myspace back, and now it’s back – focusing on the customizing, party promoters, models, and music like they used to, enabling users to create even more dynamic expressive websites easily with some flash tool myspace had developed, instead of just throwing at them all of this entertainment stuff in the background, and pieces all over the page. i love you, give me another chance, i’ve changed a new leaf..
or something like that..
But unfortunately, this is not ‘my space’ anymore, it’s entertainment space!
Another possible area of myspace worth considering (or should have, perhaps it’s too late now) is a push for ‘myspace connect’ on as many sites possible.
I’ve logged off now. The aftertaste of My ___? feels like a site that’s a bug gigantic commercial, masked with the overly cloned activity status wall, and nice UI.
Somethin’ better than all the Biz & motivational books combined!

Video Games have taught me more than all biz & motivational books combined!
Lately I’ve been playing Super Street Figher 4.. a lot.. and um well, to sort of kill two birds with one stone, i’ve always self reflected on the idea that well, these battles in the game would be analogous to real life. I’ve read a lot of books, tryin to improve myself with insight from others.
But i’ve got to tell ya, nothing comes even CLOSE to what’s been happening to my intrinsic growth lately. SF4 has made me aware of my emotions, and my tendencies because of them. No book, except your own, could ever show you in the mirror, exactly what you need to do to be a better person. After all, you could know everything ever, but doesn’t matter if you can’t control your decisions under important moments…So drop that book, go buy a game, get into it, and reflect!
PS if you want to battle me on Super Street Fighter 4 (ps3), my login is deezzer23. Prepare to be whupped.
What American English sounds like to non-English speakers Lyrics

“This is actually pretty cool. They are singing something that “sounds” like English, but its not. Its what American English sounds like to non-English speakers. Very neat.” -Steve Wozniak
I spent my Sunday trying to interpret this nonsense. Took ’bout an hour. The first half of the verse someone attempted to interpret, but I thought i’d be fun to continue…It wass great dreaming up abstract words from nothing into something:
I reply to Woz and make it on his infamous joke list:
“Hi Woz, yes this is in fact, English…
and it’s a song about green cars, and how we’re makin the wrong people rich…
Verse
We’re not sayin’ the shoe’s by the hole
But we’re sayin’ that the hallway maybe it’s the color of boss dye
Brrrr….Checkers in mind, we keep the cover warm, baby sustain yeah, blue Joe road
We’re not sayin’ the shoe’s by the hole
But we’re sayin’ that the hallway maybe it’s the color of boss dye
Wither she’s sane man you should have seen her at the company steels,
you’ll never chug her never call this a diva-less jam
You’re the cover number #2 so bye
for not to sure, hoba hoba this is gettin on the cover of Time.
All my nemesis’s are down like a shoe monument
you can trust to them not to contemplate the girls
Hold me someday.
Chorus
Eye yi my cents leak
and it also goes in diesel highs
you’d done gone and made a sale on breezy cold and insulin doso, alright
(repeat)”

The ‘Go To’ Product & Market Strategy
Ξ November 26th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Business |
This flash of intuition hit while playing chess, and I had to stop and write this. So when going to market, it’s an open field. Seems anything is possible. How do you know how to think, start, and go about winning?
There are two sides, two ways of thinking: offense and defense (in turn, Aikido – karate) Basically, in the market place out there:
The less competition you have, the more ‘offensive’ your position.
- in which then you are to setup traps for your target market.
The more competition, the more defensive you must be
- in which case, using their forces so you can gain from their moves (Aikido).
Successful adaptation to a company’s offering depends on an agile balance between their marketing campaign and product.
————————| Marketing Different | Marketing Same
——————————————————————————————-
Product Different | A | B
——————————————————————————————–
Product Same | C | D
———————————————————————————————
* : weak
* * * * : intense.
A: Success known: *
Expensive: *
Viral: * * * *
Imitators: * * * * (if successful)
Comments: Freedom, ideal. Risky, but worth it if the G spot for your market is touched.
B:Success known: * *
If successful: Viral: * * *
Expensive: * *
Imitators: * *
Comment: People will mistake your product as indifferent from compeition. Success is somewhat ‘hopeful’ assuming others are in your field, that there must be something here. But once your market realizes you’re actually different, your word of mouth ripple begins.
C: Success known: * * *
If successful: Viral: * *
Expensive: * * *
Imitators: * *
Comment: People will believe your product is different. Go with this if you have lots of other players in your field.
D: Success known: * * * *
If successful: Viral: *
Expensive: * * * *
Imitators: *
Comment : Sure thing, but every seems to be doing it. Given that your marketing is the same (ie: you’re reading a book from Trump on how to be a successful real estate agent), it’ll be tough. Breakout seems to happen when what’s realized is either a change in product or marketing. The imitator here has one star, how can that be if ‘all’ are doing it? Well, if the field is already saturated, there are already imitators who are your competition. Thus, imitators in this realm extends beyond what is already redundant, and applied to those looking for new ventures to embark.
In conclusion, we can make an observation that the more certain a winning venture, the more expensive it will be to see it’s fruit if you want to eat there. And the more unique and creative something, the greater the chances of success.
