… we’re making another switch here and moving my blog to a new domain. This is the horrible disease that is called GoDaddy Love and my inability to pin down where I want to go with my blog on LIVELIFELOUD. So, I browsed, I test-drove and am setting another idea out into the open: A new blog! No layout yet, just some posts, but if you previously were following me here, please adjust your feeds and other settings to follow me there – thanks!

Awesome. In a report on ad buys in newspapers vs. online a German newspaper ‘Die Zeit’ uses a picture of the last issue of the P.I. being sold at Pike Place Market in Seattle. Now, that looks familiar!!
Every now and then I get into conversations, like this morning, about why soccer is not more popular in the US and if and when the US team will win the World Cup. My argument is always, that the US will win when their fans will be like this:
And I have hope. I believe they will someday. The soccer mania is coming to the US, but just like with all the things we don’t invent ourselves over here we’re a bit slow…

UPDATE!*
For the world to come together and collectively start thinking of a solution on how to stop the spill?
Sure, we can boycott BP, be mad at them and the government of failing to respond adequately, but the reality is that the oil is still spilling… I know there have been some stupid attempts on Youtube and elsewhere to crowd-source a solution. But there are professional networks that are supposedly setup to find solutions during crisis. Like the Open Architecture Network or a group like TED. In fact, it’s been surprisingly quiet from the TED front on this one…
Sure, it’s not “their” problem, so I don’t blame them for not solving the problem, but it would proof their amazingness and really bring them out into the open. This could be their moment to shine.
John Stewart jokingly said that Steve Jobs should run our government, but the fact of the matter is that Steve solves the iProblems that we didn’t have. His iProducts are great, but really, we could’ve lived without them. We learn to love them and learn to not be able to live without them.
This oil spill is a crises we don’t even have a clue yet on how dramatic the lasting effects of the oil in our oceans is going to be. This is nto BP’s problem anymore, and the US government shouldn’t waste time trying to solve this either. What they should be doing is throwing their hands in the air and yelling for help. From anyone, from anywhere… this needs to be fixed fast… FIX IT.
* @johnnycoke just send me a link to the TedXOilSpill that is going to happen in D.C. later this month. Good!
Great Photos of every official Soccer World Cup Match ball… oh, and you can buy a book with the artwork in to too… glorious!
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God`s glue
It`s going to get stickier too
It`s been a long hot summer
Let`s get undercover
Don`t try too hard to think
Don`t think at all Read the rest of this entry »
This blogger and voice will turn over the next few weeks into a crazy, weird, obsessed football/soccer fantatic who will only post things about the Soccer World Cup in South Africa.
It might get ugly, beautiful, emotional and wonderful. And! Germany will take the Cup!
Mashable runs a poll, pinning a product that’s announced but no one has actually tried vs. a product that hasn’t seen any major upgrade in months? Years even?? Sure, I fell for it and linked to it and this is what it was for. So, that makes me stupid too… dang.
But, to add a few thoughts beyond calling people stupid. Apple TV sucks and needs a major overhaul, which is rumored and would bum me out, as even I, the Mac fanboy chose to buy a Roku instead. And Google TV sounds promising. But given their latest track record of product launches like Buzz and what was the other thing called that was hyped beyond recognition and never delivered… oh, right. Wave… the product heralded before its launch as the greatest thing since we put a man on the moon is barely on anyone’s horizion… good job Google.. given your past successes Google TV will be a smash hit! Can’t wait!
