TED: David Logan on tribal leadership

2009-10-07T10:10:00.000-07:00

At TEDxUSC, David Logan talks about the five kinds of tribes that humans naturally form -- in schools, workplaces, even the driver's license bureau. By understanding our shared tribal tendencies, we can help lead each other to become better individuals.

Max Headroom vs today's reality

2008-10-10T18:31:00.000-07:00

Back in the day, the Max Headroom TV show here in the U.S. was quite innovative.
The thing that made me to look back at the old episodes, was while watching the presidential debates on CNN they displayed "meters" that charted the reactions to the candidates as they spoke. In the episode Grossberg's Return aired on 10/02/87, rating meters first appeared and were used to determine who (which television network) would have control of the "country". The connections between then and now are scary. Great political references, which surprisingly aren't dated.

From Wikipedia page:

In 1987, the story told in 20 Minutes into the Future, a made-for-television movie, formed the basis of a full-fledged drama television series. The film was re-shot as a pilot program for a new series broadcast by the U.S.-based ABC television network. The pilot featured plot changes and some minor visual touches, but retained the same basic storyline. The only original cast retained for the U.S. version series were Matt Frewer (Max Headroom, Edison Carter) and Amanda Pays (Theora Jones); original cast member W. Morgan Sheppard later joined the cast as "Blank Reg". Among the non-original cast, Jeffrey Tambor co-starred as "Murray,” Edison Carter's neurotic editor.

The U.S. series expanded on the cyberpunk themes in the British TV movie but otherwise had no connection to the British music video show. In an arrangement perhaps unique in the history of television, the U.S. spin-off series featuring Max Headroom was a fictional drama, while its main character was originally created for a non-fiction entertainment show in Britain.

The series began as a mid-season replacement in spring of 1987, and was sufficiently popular to be renewed for the fall television season, but the viewer ratings could not be sustained, due to direct competition with CBS's Top 20 hit Dallas and NBC's Top 30 hit Miami Vice, and Max Headroom was canceled part-way into its first broadcast season; leftover episodes aired in spring 1988. Plans for a cinema version titled Max Headroom for President were mentioned in the media, but the film was never produced.

You Are Gonna Vote, Right?

2008-10-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

There is a rampantly liberal underlying message to this video (”if you care about sick people getting health care, you have to vote”), but the message is a good one. If you want to complain about the government the least you can do is take the time to vote for whoever you dislike the least. So whether you’re a whiny liberal, a warmongering conservative or, like me, a pragmatic, peaceful and compassionate libertarian, go for it. Google has set up a great website to register here.

Driving Jersey - What does it mean to be "from New Jersey"

2008-07-11T11:45:00.000-07:00

As they state on their YouTube page:

We are small group of artist/filmmakers currently in production. The film will be a collection of local's life stories adding up to the lifestory of the state of New Jersey. My crew and I are traveling around the state, passing through as many towns and meeting as many people as we can.

We're looking to fill the film with real people who represent the state and time in all its beauty and quirkiness. No one will be considered too absurd or too anything to possibly be included. Unique, outspoken characters are welcome and encouraged. Genuinely soulful and giving people are sought. Local heroes and heroines are hoped for. We're looking for people who typify their place and time, but also folks who are parts of bygone eras, from the large and in charge to the nearly extinct and everything in between. If you or someone you know (or know of) suits our search we want to hear from you.

This video was posted a year ago (July 2007), so who knows if this is still in work.
But since I originated in New Jersey, I thought I would share what appears to capture some of the the "uniqueness" that is the people of New Jersey.

Enjoy.

You must listen closely to the single word this guy is saying. Watch (looking at the guy speaking) the video and figure out the word he is saying.

Now, don't look the the video, but play it. He is now saying a different word. This is frackin weird. I have no idea why this does what it does. If you know why this happens, please leave a comment. Thanks.

Basically, listening is different if you don't look at the person speak. What would be interesting to find out is which word he was actually speaking. Just so I can decide whether or not to look at someone when they talk.

I hope you enjoyed this one.

More than just brain science - Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor,TED Talk

2008-03-12T12:23:00.000-07:00

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Why you should listen to her:

One morning, a blood vessel in Jill Bolte Taylor's brain exploded. As a brain scientist, she realized she had a ringside seat to her own stroke. She watched as her brain functions shut down one by one: motion, speech, memory, self-awareness ...

Amazed to find herself alive, Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk and talk. She has become a spokesperson for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. In her case, although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right. From her home base in Indiana, she now travels the country on behalf of the Harvard Brain Bank as the "Singin' Scientist."

"How many brain scientists have been able to study the brain from the inside out? I've gotten as much out of this experience of losing my left mind as I have in my entire academic career."

Lindsay will host the daily news and politics show, Mob Logic. Both shows are products of CBS Interactive.

No content yet for MOB Logic, but in the first episode Lindsay asks:

What do you want in a news & politics web show?

In the "About", their goal is simple:

MobLogic is a running conversation about the news that affects you and a reality check on mainstream media.
Join host Lindsay Campbell Monday through Friday as she explores issues across the country.

As usual, some guy always says he wants more naked women.

The jury is out on whether this will be a fresh look at news and politics. As she says in the intro show:

We're not trying to hide it, this show is coming from CBS ... we'll be out here everyday doing our best to offer a fresh perspective, of the people, for the people by a big ol' media corporation.

there's gonna be a lot of combat wounds

and if you think that things are bad now

Maybe a hundred, that's fine with me
I don't think Americans are concerned if we're there for a hundred years, or a thousand years, or ten thousand years.

Regardless of your political views - History is happening around you.

2008-02-02T13:51:00.000-08:00

From time to time, politics and politicians deliver a message of inspiration and hope. Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas along with director Jesse Dylan created this music video (as mentioned below) after will.i.am was inspired by Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and in particular by the speech he gave after the New Hampshire primary.

The following excerpt is from the YouTube page for the video

Yes, We Can! - Si, Se Puede!

Song & video, featuring a star cast, by will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Inspired by Barack Obama's 'Yes We Can' speech.

http://www.yeswecansong.com

http://www.barackobama.com/

http://factcheck.barackobama.com/

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

{speech, lyrics}

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.

The Dove Self-Esteem Fund

2007-10-02T08:08:00.000-07:00

Campaign for real beauty

Below is an excerpt from the "about the fund".

We developed the Dove Self-Esteem Fund to make real change in the way women and young girls perceive and embrace beauty. We want to help free ourselves and the next generation from beauty stereotypes.

Too many girls develop low self-esteem from hang-ups about looks. Consequently, many fail to reach their full potential later in life. The Dove Self-Esteem Fund is an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty.

To make change possible, the Dove Self-Esteem Fund focuses its efforts to foster positive image-related self-esteem in two areas of activity:

The Fund develops and distributes resources that enable and empower women and girls to embrace a broad definition of beauty
The Fund provides needed resources to organizations that foster a broader definition of beauty

It is our mission to continue to provide the tools and support to individuals, groups and organizations. We recognize that we alone can’t make changes in the way beauty is defined. We invite you to get involved.

Below is a video from the Fund's gallery.

Previous videos can be found at their film gallery.
