Cloud appreciation society
Other than a good book by the pool, a cold drink under the sun … the next best thing to relax in a holiday resort is, really, cloud watching. You know, you can name every cloud you like, while the clouds drifting slowly … Obviously, there are lots of people sharing the same view, and they are the members of Cloud Appreciation Society. Following is the famous Six Leg Pig … click the pix to see the full picture and you can buy their book.

In plain English
Really wanted to find a solution to take GTD with me even outside office and with no access to computer. The solution shall be the stuff that carry with me or I can easily access to – i.e. PDA / smartphone / phone and its software, notepad, stack of index cards, or remote voice mailbox etc. etc. … something that I can jot down the actions as efficient as possible.
One service I am evaluating closely for the moment is Twitter. The idea is to send an SMS with my phone to one Twitter account and then I can “follow” the tweets back in office.

We are not alone
“Always on my mind” is one of my favorite songs, no matter it’s the original version by Brenda Lee or the cover versions by Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Pet Shop Boys and the latest by Michael Buble.

I reckon, no matter what are our likes and dislikes, no matter how niches those are – we are not alone; and someone share the same interests will put those online. Another case of Long Tail theory, I suppose …
Believe it or not, the singer is Peter Chan, the famous Hong Kong film director. Enjoy the song, i.e. the first two minutes of the following video. By the way, the subtitles do not sync with the song …

The sign says …
“92% of guys say they washed, 34% were lying”
It’s always difficult to present some meaningless data, what even more difficult is how to make the people take action after they see the numbers.
And … here is one very good example of calling for action (don’t you think so ?):
