I want to believe…

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

…That human life is something that is taken seriously.
…That there can be love where there is none.
…That we care more about our next door neighbor than we do about the latest mistake Britney has made in her life.
…In community.
…That there can be good in Corporate America.
…That my love is one of giving and not self-indulgence.
…That there is still good in this world.
…That I could live a week (or a month – or a year – or…) without mass media.
…That some people don’t really mean what they say.
…That I can find a job where it’s not all about ‘political maneuvering’ – just trying to get a competitive advantage over a co-worker or boss – that community could exist in the workplace.
…That politics should be more of a discussion than a debate.
…That people can turn around their lives.

I want to believe in something better – because it can always be better, and I don’t want to settle – I want to always be in pursuit of the best.

Get uncomfortable – you’ll thank me later.

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Friends, we are not comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Did you read me on that one?

We are not comfortable with being uncomfortable.

A lot of us talk about fulfilling our own potential – well, I’m here to say that I have come to the conclusion that there is no way to fulfill our potential until we become uncomfortable with what we do.

I’m making a personal commitment to do one thing that is outside of my comfort zone each day. I feel that I have lost so many opportunities because I was happy in my comfort zone and I didn’t want to step out of it. I don’t know a lot about this world, about my city, about my neighbors, and even about my friends because I have been too unwilling to step out – even for a brief moment – to be uncomfortable and see what lies beyond this little ‘box’

I’d say join me – but I know that what this means to me, may not be what it means to you… But think about all those lost opportunities that we have forfeited for no other purpose, but to serve ourselves…

Scary, ain’t it?

High Definition Video: Blu-Ray wins

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

This just in: Bogopolis.com declares the Blu-Ray high definition format the winner.

The New York Times is reporting that Warner Brothers will switch their high definition video format to Blu-Ray beginning in June of 2008.

This decision brings the Blue-Ray high definition video format in use by the majority of movie distributors.

Bogopolis.com has previously reported about this new video format – but why should you care?

You should care because of this simple fact: Blu-Ray is now in place to replace the DVD format as the default video format – it will happen slowly, but I say this: 8 year olds in 2010 will not recognize the acronym DVD.

Also, the transition of Warner Brothers to Blu-Ray format means that the remaining studios will eventually follow (it’s only a matter of how they save face).

Most importantly users will benefit with increased content (read: 5 times more space for extras and movie goodness – and higher picture quality.

Don’t buy that player, yet, though. The early adopters always get screwed.
