Oil vs the Sun

Ok... since it is 40 degrees outside today, I thought this would be an opportune time to talk about the production and consumption of oil vs the unlimited energy potential created by the sun.  Look up.... waaaaaay up... (as the Green Giant used to say) and you seen this massive sized, extremely hot light bulb spreading huge amounts of heat and daylight for everyone to enjoy.  When you compare the practicality of capturing this heat and energy vs the staggering costs to capture, refine and distribute oil, shame on us for creating and maintaining such a narrowed dependence.  For a society that has achieved so much, it's hard to believe companies like TCP are going to pipe oil from the Oil Sands of Northern Alberta all the way through the heart of the US to Houston to be processed and to feed the US oil addiction.  On the other side... we all have access to the Sun and now there is technology to "capture" the suns heat and energy so that it may be stored and used when needed at a later time.  This technology comes in the form of Liquid Batteries and if we'd put as much time and energy and support into this technology as we have done with other out of date and extremely wasteful practices, image where we'd be today.  Folks, is it too much to ask for us to use our gifts, intelligence and our common sense to force change, progress and a new way to create, develop and distribute energy?  Please make me believe it is possible.  I know what the whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico would say if they had a choice. 

OH My God.... My PC crashed and I lost everything!

Has this every happened to you?  Well, I have a very simple design solution that could save you plenty of grief and the loss of your important files, pictures and documents when your PC crashes.  We have all heard of the famous memory stick and how we can save files on a back up basis externally, but how many of us still save everything to the C: drive on our computers?  It's a simple step, granted, but it requires a change in our behaviour to ensure our stuff is kept safe in the event bad things happen to our PC.  What if instead of us having to insert a memory stick into a usb port on our pc or laptop to save our files, PC manufacturers designed an internal "backup" memory stick inside our computer.  Just like that of the cd rom, if something goes wrong, ie our computer crashes, then all we'd have to do is push a little button on the side of our pc or laptop and voila, a memory stick pops out and all of our pictures, files and personal documents are backed up and safe in our hands.  Imagine... talk about Making It Better.  Is this so difficult or is there a real problem with those people who design, produce and sell pc's and laptops.  Remember..., YOU heard it here first.

Oil vs Will

When I decided to write this blog, I did so with the idea that it would give me an outlet to express myself and to create a channel for us to believe it can be changed, it can be done differently, and more importantly, it can be made better.  To actually MIB... there needs to be WILL in order to produce any kind of results or to have an impact on whatever your cause is and it is will this blog, I shall work to help you find yours.

For many days we've been reading about the Great Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  What is truly sad about this entire disaster is the lack of world engagement and participation to fix the situation.  Instead... World Cup fever has taken the main stage while inaction on all of our parts runs rampid.  So, I'll keep this entry short and to the point.  On July 1st, Canada Day, I ask all of you to boycott the purchase of any kind of fuel on that day.  Gas up the night before, walk, bus or even rent an electric car and send a message that we do have the will to "Make It Better".  Hey... I'm not that naive, but this will truly send the message we are all capable of delivering.  Worse case, think of the impact and impression you will have on each other and our children.

What me... Make I T Personal?

In a world where society is trying it hardest to get closer and closer to each other without admitting it, along comes weMiP aka we Make I T Personal.  Let's just cut to the chase and put our objectives in the forefront so we are clear of our intentions and how we value ones trust and relationship.  When weMiP, we are sending a clear message of transparency and honesty with conviction.  That's what I value the most.  There are no flashy brochures, sweet little gimmick tag lines or stuff to muddy the water.  All we have is a commitment to treat each other with the utmost respect while engaging in a relationship far stronger than ever before or imagined with the ability and flexibility to balance your relationships professionally, personally, and with the highest of integrity.  That's what we humans value and that's why weMiP is set to establish a whole new level of relationship and connectivity in our lives.  Stay tuned... this is only going to get better.

The Art of Human Behaviour Re-thunk

What if we had the will to shift the way and how we do things in life and our first priority would be to make it simple?  Would this mean an end to our economy and the creation of wealth as we know it?  Or would this spawn entirely new markets, opportunities, products, and wealth creation like never seen before?  Let's start with the computer.  What if I told you that 99% of your computer problems could be solved with just a reboot?  Impressed?  Curious?  Interested?  And on top of that, I'll even make anti-virus software optional.  Now how can you get your hands on this new behavioural change and how we view technology?  Well, it's called OOPS Certified and the above I just mentioned is now available for firms, corporations and even the little ole individual pc user.  The company that created OOPS Certified is now offering compete data and email recovery if your pc goes down.  Impressed yet?   What ever you've been told about technology by the big guys, it really doesn't have to be.  We've created an entire economy based on controlling technology so that you have to rely on some techny guy (or girl) to fix your pc when it goes down leaving you in a sorry state of enormous anxiety.  So today, I want to empower you so that you can be completely at ease to know your IT behavioural experience has just been re-thunk.  Visit http://www.wemip.com/ to get OOPS Certified.

weMiP... The New "Get Connected" Frontiere.

What started out as just a simple idea is quickly taking root in the way we manage our lives and relations with each other.  weMiP is starting to take on a new life of its own as something people can more intimately relate to and easily connect with.  Do you MiP?  aka Do you Make It Personal?  Most definitely.  We all do.  That's what makes each of us who we are and how we interact as human beings.  weMiP is the act of Making It Personal.  When we MiP, we are sending a strong message that we are committed, we are engaged, we really do care.  For some reason, we've always believed or felt when we make it personal, it was not the right thing to do or the polite way to be.  However, to MiP is catching on and we are quickly realizing the positive impact and real meaningful potential of Making It Personal can have in our everyday life.  It's the new frontier in relationships and it has the power and the ability to connect people like never before.  Do you MiP... of course you do.  You've just never looked at it this way before.  So let's getting MiP'n and you'll soon experience life, relationships and opportunity in an entirely new light and with a completely different attitude.  Send us your MiP message loud and clear to IMiP@weMiP.com as well as to that special someone you think should start MiP'n.
