On This Working W-End: Thoughts On #Outsides & #Success & Remembering Carl Sagan & Space....

Today has been exactly 30 days since Daily Outsider 2.x Beta  Began.   As I have noted, it has been a challenging transition as the tweaking and build-out is continuing.  

One of the key focus points for me is to relaunch and revamp the community channel in the new channel including on-going developments throughout my home community of Laguna Niguel and Beyond.    It is exciting as I have a unique interesting chance to put Laguna Niguel on the map with what I will be doing with the Traffic Commission Initiative that was just concluded.

These I ran across go to the heart of  this journey of hope that I picked upon +EdCast on Friday:  

10 Great Rule For Success: A youtuber has mined some of the best insights from Elon Musk over the course of several interviews. This is a fantastic...

As I refleced upon the last thirty days, I could not help but embrace this from the great Carl Sagan and lamented the fact over Facebook as I worked "on the Grid" tending to commitments at the Daily Outsider on how he was missed :

“In science it often happens that scientists say,
‘You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,’and then they would actually change their mindsand you never hear that old view from them again.They really do it.It doesn’t happen as often as it should,because scientists are humanand change is sometimes painful.But it happens every day.I cannot recall the last time something like thathappened in politics or religion.”

Happy May day to all!!!

Working away @DailyOutsiders with Brief Thougths & a "View of the Week" To Share

It is mid-week as I have been supporting the on-going transition for the Daily Outsider and of course on with my own personal Twitter Curation.  It was kind of disappointing as I reviewed of Twitter continuing to struggle as it came out with its' latest earnings announcement.    It was also of interest that I saw that somewhat Yahoo seems to enter a reasonable period of calm as new members of the board were appointed to Yahoo's Board.  

It has also been quite a day on the political front as I have also just reviewed the speech by Donald Trump on Foreign Policy--and it was telling that he was introduced by one of the leading Neo-Conservatives, Zalmay Khalilzad who was US Ambassador to Iraq, Afghanistan,  and the UN during the Bush Administration.  From what I have seen so far, it is classic Neo-Con orthodoxy.    The team had noted that it would refrain from commentary although we did reporting on it as the results were coming in yesterday.   It is also of interest that Senator Cruz is touting a major announcement later on today which will be interesting to be witness to.    

I was so happy to read up on this which I hope all enjoy:

On the Prowl 4 the Day as I am attending Enhancing Your Digital Presence to Increase Citizen Engagement

As I work away, I have joined this sponsored by @GovLoop on Enhancing Your Digital Presence to Increase Citizen Engagement.   There are some very interesting lessons that can be potentially applied as our work continues on the continued Transformation of the Daily Outsider.
