Ideas for '09
I asked people on the Twitter to Toot me their ideas for projects I should do in 2009. Lotta yuk-yuks, a few B-minuses, and several bits of shiny gold.
My Five Six Favorites
Remy: - redesign the concept of how a technology conference/expo should run so that they’re not such a waste of everyone’s time.
Balut: Write about how successful late-bloomers with diffuse, vague, or conflicted interests managed to find their special niche.
jdickerson: Write a novel or book & also write abt process to chart creativity,focus, attention, mastery, etc. Or u do one; I’ll do other
Remiel: Obsess Out Loud ‘09, live-broadcast symposium: (anti-)Thought Leaders (Hodgman, Gruber, more) talk about Creating Well, Often
stevewhitaker: if you’re serious: I’d love to hear a series of interviews you do with people whose work you admire/appreciate.
justinlilly: I would like to see more video production. Things like wallet-guy are quite nice. I also enjoyed the video of ylnt.
By Way of Consensus
And my gut check on what people like that also interests me:
- write a book
- do more You Look Nice Today (and in different flavors)
- revive The Merlin Show
- just go do something cool
You Rock
Thanks to everybody who chimed in. I’m grateful you’d share your ideas with me. Here’s hoping we all throw down some good stuff in the aught nine.
