The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I do say “brilliant” alot, so I suppose I will leave it off the headline, also this is really a “brilliant” travel planner.

That’s why the NYT is great, or brilliant, if you will. Done some checking on visiting Yellowstone. No dates, detailed plans, just some basic information. Google has it all, tons of maps, pictures, etc.

But the NYT article is short, concice and trustworthy. That’s why editoral voices are so important in the days of enless content.

The attached press release is in German and promises a detailed map with all the important locations of the film and of course a raffle, where you can win the whole trip, everything, including bite-marks included…

Forks, WA must love this, not?

Trixy, my wife, is totally hooked on MI-5, or Spooks, as the show is called by fans in England. MI-5 is England’s Secret Service and the show is incredible suspenseful without the gore and usual crazy-over-the-top storyline American shows are written.

And now that the show is available on Netflix, we can catch up with lost episodes and put some missing pieces together.

The clip below you really shouldn’t watch cause it explains what happens with Tom, one of the main caracters between Season 2 and 3 as he’s at a breaking point.

Brilliant Television!

I have a business page for einmaleins. Facebook created a community page for me. In an interesting way facebook just realized what I am working on since many months, essentially since I first opened: Turning a business into a community. Facebook just realized this, alot of my friends know this and come to First Friday, support us and are part of the einmaleins community. Thank you my friends and Thank You facebook for realizing that einmaleins is a community. Not just a business, but a place for passion, connection, collaboration and inspiration.

Which ones would you like to see at einmaleins??

I of course was hoping for the Apple TV to do what my Roku currently does and Steve did announce a new device, but it’s still far behind the current Roku offering.

I wish Steve would’ve announced that iOS is now running not just the iPod/Phone/Pad but also the Apple TV. That way people could build apps for the Apple TV which would be AMAZING, thanks to alexalbrecht, I am saying AMAZING now all the time, did you notice?

Anyway, Roku’s offering, ongoing expansion of channels and the option of adding private channels is perfect. And Steve’s comment on people just wanting HD content done by pros is not correct. I am happy with Diggnation on my Revision3 channel and I don’t mind the ads…
