Anyone feel like undertaking a study near the Newcastle area of this nature give me a buzz

Now if you know me then you’re probably thinking: How can I (the personal that will wear ‘crocs/flip-flops’ to well… anywhere) make the world a sexy place?

There are a great deal of ‘things’ out there that have been cast aside and ignored purely because they are not known to be all that appealing. It is this lack of sexiness I hope focus my attention.
These boring ‘Things’ take many shapes. Problems to professions, products, places and dare I say it people are susceptible to being boring.
I have seen lots of examples where people are re-engaging the boring to make them interesting from the X-Prize Foundation that I have posted on within my Blog through to my own experiences in making Wine literally more sexy (Kama Sutra Wines, which I must remember to post about one day).

The recently made sexy ‘thing’ that pushed me over the edge and to set this mission into stone was a simple video (now a series of videos) aimed at making Science sexy. See video below:

These videos would not have taken a considerable amount of time to produce. However, they have repackaged something known not to be all that sexy (Science Documentaries) into something that the millions can enjoy in their own time. This is an example of someone making the world a sexy place and in the process educating millions. It brings to light another interesting question. What else could benefit from being just a little sexier?

This technology has all kinds of highly practical applications and I personally cannot wait to see where this will develop throughout the years.

Emotiv systems is selling the unit to developers now… in the USA only…
(hope Australia isn’t toooo far away)

This is a little longer than the usual TED video but if you’re someone that is interested in not just the decision making process but also the cultural effects surrounding decisions you will not be able to look away.

Clay Shirky is a great evangelist of collaboration and believes that taking advantage of “spare” brainpower will change the way society works.

The audience is becoming more and more engaged. Engaged and empowered to contribute on anything from local news and politics to helping resolving issues big and small.

One thing I would like to focus on is that one person can easily be very, very wrong but the average of the majority is a path to greater accuracy. When these innovations empower the majority to contribute this sets the groundwork for a magnitude of improvement.

I did a few entrepreneurial activities as part of my formal schooling but unfortunately the experiences where branded as youth leadership and entrepreneurship only leading me to discover it was really “this is how to wear a tie and work for a living”.

If anyone is interested in developing an after-hours program or even class curriculum on how to teach entrepreneurs, I would be very interested in helping out.

It’s a bit repetitive but I think it is justified: “People don’t buy what you do, they buy Why you do it.”
