Using New Media to Solve Real Problems -- My "Shoot The Future" Pitch


Here is a quick slideshow, outlining my pitch for Skype's #ShootTheFuture contest. It shows how we can take action to solve global problems -- not waiting for elected leaders -- but doing it ourselves, through a very unique, fitness-oriented way. https://skype.shootthefuture.com

Please help me spread the word. Thanks!

Hiking + Brainstorming = HikeStorming

Depressed? Anxious? Confused? In a rut? Need a new idea or a new plan?

Hike it out!



A New Concept for TV or Online Media -- Organic Problem Solving on a Global Scale Through.... Hiking?

Yes! Hiking.

Well... HikeStorming.

This is the pitch video for the #ShootTheFuture project. The TV concept is about people rising up all over the world to offer real solutions to actual problems. It is based on the idea that "people in motion, " i.e. moving on trails, hiking or on urban hikes can help them to generate good thinking and a sense of belonging and empowerment.

Glamour Profession, like many Steely Dan songs, tells a great, twisted story - filled with metaphors and suggestive lyrics. This one paints a great picture of drug culture in L.A., e.g. "local boys will spend a quarter, just to shine the silver bowl." I'm not sure what that is to this day, but it sounds drug-related. Right?

Update: There's a good write-up on these lyrics here. It all makes perfect sense now! http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858654303/
