As I sit brainstorming and working in this so-labelled dreary “polar-vortex” weather, I have TEDTalks running in the background. This one in particular by Stefan Sagmeister steadily gained all of my attention. Very interesting how he runs his business, and I also enjoy/agree with his view on integrating retirement years into working years. Click the image below to watch, or listen, and perhaps gain some inspiration as I did.

Current blogging music is inspired in part this evening by Blondie and Lords of Acid. Couldn’t pick just one LOA song to link, so I’ve added a few (btw, they go from non-offensive to not suitable for little ones… in that order).

LOA – Am I Sexy?

LOA – Stripper

LOA – The Power is Mine

LOA – Gimme Gimme

Blondie – Good Boys

Current music: Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Zero

This song reminds me of so many things…..(in this order):

-Prepping for Love Parade in Berlin; both years I went: with my mom’s friend and with my best friend stateside
-Walking down the hallway of the Social in downtown Orlando
-Arriving to visit my friend in NY
-Dancing down the safe, quiet allies of Munich
-Barhopping through the streets of rainy SF
-Driving through the well-lit tunnels of Munich & Hungary – each leading to their own amazing & unique destinations.
-Dancing through dark Barcelona alleyways, finding a Picasso museum to wander thru
–Playing hookie in the Ibiza airport on the baggage cart w/ my best friend, almost missing our flight back to Germany… we got evil eyes for that one when we boarded the plane lol!

Love the adventures this video reminds me of, and also of their value; they are priceless… and looking forward to many many more : )
