Just barely made it through this month’s GQ. They ran their “best of the year” issue, which is just a lazy way of filling extra pages with recycled nothing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a “Best of GQ 2007” issue. There’s more than few well-written articles and interviews every month to fill that one. No, it’s just another top-10 of everything list. And if it hits the top-10 of magazine like GQ, odds are that you’ve already seen it or heard it somewhere else. Give me something new. And by the way, your cover shot of Daniel Craig is creeping me out:
(No matter where you go, his eyes follow…) At least I wasn’t sent the edition featuring Kanye West or Bill Clinton. I have no idea why Daniel Craig is worthy of a “Man Of The Year” nod, but at least it’s something new.
However, Fast Company tossed me something worthwhile on page 73 in Robert Scoble’s column “Stars, Stripes, and Social Media.” He took a quick look at the on-line strategies of various contenders to the title of POTUS and summed up that you could learn a lot by applying the same to your business. As I’ve been making my cheese as a tech-consultant, I’ve been thinking the same for awhile now. Seems the first step is doing it for myself. Step two is helping you…
But please Daniel, stop staring.
Okay… so this comes over a month late… but I figured I’d toss it out there. Just take a look at the cover for Time’s Man Of The Year issue (Vladimir Putin) and then compare to the cover of Daniel Craig… I’m just sayin…
Yes, and they’ve both been known for some smashingly shirtless photographs. The similarities are there, no doubt. I’m going to ring up Ms. Moneypenny on this…
