Random catch up today.

1. Did you read my man Seth Godin’s post today, called Grave New World? The first line belongs in the New Bartlett’s.

Seth wrote, “Creativity loves a problem but it hates a lousy audience.” Priceless.

mime-attachment-1 It’s easy being a lousy audience to creative ideas, harder to be a great one. I took off on this thought and gave some ideas on how to be a better audience over at US NEWS and WORLD REPORT today.

2. Follow up on Sully, the heroic but muzzled US AIR pilot, who still hasn’t talked to the media:
First, did you see Sully and his crew at the Super Bowl? Maybe I am wrong, I’m thinking now that interest is building and not waning for Sully. I had thought that the Pilot’s Union had done the country a disservice by not allowing him to tell his story to the media. I hope it builds even more after the upcoming 60 Minutes Interview, with Capt Sully and his crew.

Here’s a new slant on the Sully story. Donna Hill from the National Federation of the Blind sent me a nice note after she read my post on Sully.

Turns out, that Sully and his family have been big supporters of several organizations including raising guide dogs for the blind. This is a huge commitment, and my hat is off to the entire Sully family. Seriously, this guy is like squeaky clean, what a role model! Makes me proud to sorta kinda know him.

Sad note: Did you know that PETA has been trying to discredit guide dog programs and people like the Sullenbergers who volunteer to help and the blind people who benefit from their generosity? What, did we run out little brown birds and green unnamed lizards?
