Rick Astley for Veep?

I have a strange sense of humor. As evidence of that, I think the Barack Roll video is funny to a degree disproportionate to how funny it probably is to normal people....

Jon Lowder of the Competitive Intelligence Marketplace blog had some excellent suggestions on alternative business models for giving away conference content.  These are some excellent alternatives to my own suggestions from my previous post:Make certain videos free from the get-go. ...

August, how are you getting on with your iPhone? Some of us just need to have it, others don't. What's in it for you? Good luck with the Chicago Annual Summit in 2009!

Hi August,
At all. You deserve all the kind words for your brilliant work.
I do have some topics that I would like to suugest.
Among them let me share a couple:
#1 Challenges to implement CI functions in SME's
#2 Sales Intelligence - how to leverage it and how to support your sales team
#3 - CI - Is it the same all over the world? How different? How similar?
Hope they are of interest to you.
All the best,
Miguel Delete Comment

In so far as you retain your ability to point out people's specific pedigree as female dogs, yes, absolutely, feel free to park on the steps of City Hall, double park, the world is your oyster.

August, I commend you on the social entrepreneurialism for which you are so readily known in our community.

Had you considered a position with the WORLD BANK???
