Eyes Wide Open

Recent Influences: 1.Networking. I set a goal of meeting at least one person each way on the flight home and back to (e.coast) home because although there are almost limitless ways of interacting with eachother via the internet and all its goodies, I really think we lack in interacting with strangers. I know we were always told not to talk to them but I'm one for braking that rule. I fulfilled the goal and met two very interesting men. A jewish man and a salesman of a family owned business. Conclusion, people are sooo interesting and you never know who you might meet. 2. Media media media. Magazines have now become one of my textbooks to knowledge of media. One of the graphic books i'm reading opened an opportunity to subscribe to Wired Magazine,opening my eyes to what other people are talking about. Accompanied with the internet equals a great start to becoming well rounded. Check out this awesome website I learned of from my media savvy friend sarah, www.iamsecond.com. It's a great idea of an idea i'm tracking on as far as testimonials. Come to find out this awesome website took 9years from concept to upload. Another great website I always check is flickr specifically the group Church Marketing Lab which stems from the website churchmarketingsucks.com
