Feeling somewhere between coward and hypocrite?

Grown man pees pants in public as if nothing is wrong

Grown man pees pants in public as if nothing is wrong

 

Three people in the photo on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, taken a week ago, the first night of Mardi Gras.

Person on the left, crutches, pink cast on right foot.

Person on right is a street musician. His guitar case is off camera.

Center person. Drunk as a skunk. I’ve never seen a grown man in public pee in his pants. The stream of liquid from his shoes to the curb is urine.

Was too uncomfortable photographing his pants.

Was I supposed to offer help?

Don’t let traffic deter you

Sewer hole cover labeled Traffic

Internet traffic can be good and bad

 

Internet traffic feels good when it’s high, bad when it’s low. The opposite of roadway traffic.

So what, right? Exactly.What’s the insight?

Factors increase it and decrease it. It’s up to the engineers to study, redesign, and implement.

We are all the engineers of our life. It’s up to us to be organized enough and persistent enough to find solutions, no matter how long it takes.

The Apple Store Mall of Millenia reopens today as a flagship

brand loyalty

jeff noel is enamored with Apple the way many are with Disney

 

Apple flagships

most customers are tourists so the staff really enjoys the regulars (like me)

 

The Apple Store Mall of Millenia reopens today as a flagship. Getting organized is hard work. Staying organized shouldn’t have to be.

I rely on myself for the first, and Apple for the second. You’ve got beliefs and a plan too, right? We’d want it for our children – let’s show them how.

Insight: Show the way, even if it takes a lifetime.

Organized like Apple?

Apple Store flagship

Apple’s flagship 5th Avenue store, NYC

 

Understated sophistication – simplicity – form – function – effective – efficient.

One-of-a-kind.

We can take cues for our life from anywhere, anytime.

Even in a store.

But only if we are paying attention.

We are so lucky Steve Jobs didn’t abandon his childhood dreams.

Who can blame either group for wanting better traffic?

Bridge I beams

notice the port-a-potty across the way… the I-beams are easily six feet tall

no gate, no keep out, no “no trespassing”

 

No gate, no “keep out”, no “no trespassing”. An open invitation attractive nuisance to inspect the job site.

A Friday evening in September… 2012.

Traffic will never be the same. But will it be better than, or worse than, before.

Something every highway engineer and marketing professional worries about.

Looking back over your shoulder always yields a different angle

Apple Store 5th Avenue and Central Park

Looking back over your shoulder always yields a different angle. Always. Same with looking ahead. And the trick is to be organized enough to find time to do it… all the time.

One HQ lesson from Times Square

Getting and staying organized is a key life satisfier. While the visit to Times Square was brief, it was still a visit. Being less organized would have made the trip impossible.
