MAKING THINGS HAPPEN: APPLIED IDEAS

There are some really smart people on the Internet. When you come across their stuff it gives you multiple "A-ha" moments.

Noah Brier is one of those people. If you have heard of or visited Brand Tags you have seen the results of his applied IDEA. Ideas that are not applied are almost worthless. Those that are, have value that are almost incalculable.

You can achieve so much if you take your IDEA and MAKE it happen.

The two posts below should be required reading for middle and high school students. Even folks in and past college can gain valuable insights from these two posts.

Feel free to leave your comments below. You may want to subscribe to Noah's blog as well. His site is http://www.noahbrier.com/

RE: GOOGLE CHROME

Getting more credit than I am due on this news.
Was wondering about when Google Chrome was going to be released. Tomorrow was not a specific enough of an answer for me.

Ran a Google Search for Google Chrome.

Came to this CNET site.

Answer: "The company is hosting a press conference at its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters Tuesday at 11 a.m. PDT."

There was the answer. Posted it to Twitter.

PUZZLE: PRISONER'S DILEMMA

When there are two sides and they each have 2 choices. [Read more at the link in the headline.]

The most important thing to know is that you are in the Prisoner's Dilemma.

If you are unaware you are in the situation, you may make the wrong choice. The other side will make a choice that neutralizes you and puts you at great disadvantage.

We may be watching a situation that will be classic in terms of recognition, or rather lack of recognition that one is in the situation. One side made the choice the other did not.

The Prisoner's Dilemma puzzle is taught in strategy classes as part of the MBA curriculum at university.

This post will be reviewed in a few months.

HYDROX COOKIES

Dear Kellogg's,
Several times this year the Wall Street Journal has profiled the Hydrox brand of cookies. It was implied that this brand would again be available in August of 2008. The question is, where are they? Not seeing them in any supermarket or super centers here in Michigan.
Look forward to trying the original Hydrox cookies when they finally gain distribution.
Thanks for reading this message.
Best,
David
