Got turned on to this via a twit from my pal Mitch. The Youtube video is Mr Rogers' talk with a US Senate sub-committee, in a meeting chaired by the notoriously "cold" Senator John Pastori, on May 1, 1969. It is worth watching the full 6 1/2 minutes of this video,...

France runs rings around Namibia – RWC 2007
France's 87-10 drubbing of Namibia will definitely help return the team to a positive state of mind in preparation for the battle with Ireland (coming up on Friday, 21st, at Stade de France, Paris). Caveman Chabal's two scores were priceless and the 13 try performance...
France seeking to open advertising rules on national television
I am reading with interest the debate in France about "liberalizing" the rules around advertising on television. Both the advertisers (behind the Union des Anonceurs) and Patrick de Carolis (President of France Televisions) have asked to relax the "out of date" rules...
Time four… rational and emotional relationships with Time
I cogitate and agitate much about our (at least my own) relationship with time. One of my all-time favourite books is "The Art of Time" by Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber. I came up with an epithet that tends to summarize my (rather Anglo-Saxon) concept of...

Oh, Georgia , take me to South Ireland’s – RWC 2007
A wickedly close game, Ireland staved off the valiant Georgians 14-10, with the Georgians leading deep into the second half. Whereas Ireland had been looking for a 4-try bonus point, it was Georgia that came up with a bonus point, its first RWC point, for losing by...
England Rose wilts vs RSA, Rugby World Cup 2007
Last night's 36-0 lambasting of England versus South Africa, in part, confirms England's diminished performance against the US. It also reconfirmed the Southern Hemisphere's general primacy. Even if it is early days in the tournament, one gets the suspicion that NZ,...
The Break Up – A true marketing message
Ok, this video clip, The Break Up, has been with us for already 1.3M views and I've had it marked as a bookmark for quite a while, but I thought I'd come out of the closet and show my appreciation by adding it as today's post. It is a good reminder for marketers in...
Putin on the Fritz
The Russian political scene -- forever shrouded in privacy, if not contoversy -- is on the fritz again. Putin took another mysterious decision, dissolving the Duma and naming a completely unknown element, Viktor Zubkov, 66, as his new Prime Minister. If one could...
