Emily the Strange dolls @ EmilyStrangeDoll.com | Emily The Anti-Hero Doll

Emily the Strange came to life in the early 1990's and quickly became a beloved counterculture icon all around the world. In her earliest years, she was a quiet but sharp-witted stranger, slinging philosophy and cultural observations in a series of hand-screened t-shirts and stickers. As her presence grew and became a standard in the cultural underground, Emily's own story began to emerge in a series of gift books, then comic-books and graphic novels, and now a novel series for young adults.

Delilah Noir Collectible Doll from Ashton Drake

I am working on a Search Engine Marketing project for Delilah Noir Collectible Dolls from Ashton Drake Galleries.  Its been a fun project.  Never new I would like playing with dolls.  It is a challenging project, because the collectible doll market is more competitive than I first thought for the collectable doll industry.

Since I've been on the project, my wife has rekindled her doll collector persona and started a doll collection.  Ashton Drake sent her a Delilah Noir Doll and we have been photographing the doll around the house.  Its been fun for my wife and the boys, especially since she is always around men in the house.  A little girly time is mice for her when she plays with her collectible doll Delilah Noir.

Stay tuned as we take more pics of Delilah Noir from Ashton Drake Galleries, doll maker of fine collectible dolls.

Zane Playing Flag Football

Zane playing flag football 5/2/08 at Long Lake Ranch near Golden, Colorado.

How lucky are we to live in Colorado. Look at the mountains in the back. Can you see the sleeping Indian laying down in the mountains? His head is right above the baseball cap.

Zane's team lost but he had a great game. He almost scored but the TD was called back on a penalty. I was reffing and it was me that threw the flag. Ouch Dad!

Do you know more than your Boss

I was asked yesterday how I would feel about working for a boss that does not know the business they are responsible for managing, and how I would feel about teaching them about this business channel.

Hmmm, I said it depends on the other person. It takes two to tango. I have been in two situations with two outcomes at each extreme. One bad and one good. I guess if the money is good I am ok with it.

But really, why would a F1000 company assign a core strategic business channel to a manager that does NOT have experience in that business? It must not be that Strategic or important. Once again, I am amazed how corporate America rolls along even though it continues to make naive decisions in a complex world. I guess if you have a huge market share and large cash flows you can waste money and not worry about the short term.

Is it really ok just to strive for mediocrity or should one strive to reach perfection. I am the latter. Why play if you are just going through the motions?

The Kingdom - Movie

I just rented The Kingdom with fellow Texan Jamie Foxx. The Kingdom is a very good movie; fast paced, excellent action scenes, great story and good acting. (I do think the Wahabi's are out to kill all Westerners and or Non-muslims. I don't think we can negotitate with them to save ourselves.) The movie ends with a great scene / quote around the Circle of Violence. I highly recommend the movie.

Lawrence of Arabia says, "The Wahabis, followers of a fanatical Moslem heresy, had impressed their strict rules on easy and civilized Kasim. In Kasim there was but little coffee-hospitality, much prayer and fasting, no tobacco, no artistic dalliance with women, no silk clothes, no gold or silver head ropes or ornaments. Everything was forcibly pious or forcibly puritanical. It was a natural phenomenon, this periodic rise at internals of little more than a century, of ascetic creeds in Central Arabia. Always the votaries found their neighbor's beliefs cluttered with inessential things, which had become impious in the hot imagination of their preachers. Again and again they had arisen, had taken possession, soul and body, of the tribes, and had dashed themselves to pieces on the urban Semites, merchants, and concupiscent men of the world. About their comfortable possessions the new creeds ebbed and flowed like the tides or the changing seasons, each movement with the seeds of early death in its excess of rightness. Doubtless they must recur so long as the causes -- sun, moon, wind, acting in the emptiness of open spaces, weigh without check on the unhurried and unencumbered minds of the desert dwellers."--T.E. Lawrence, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922)
