Wednesday Morning Run-Down

• Behance offers some nice tools for creatives. Less doodling. More doing. Sign me up.
• There's no point to re-tweeting or re-posting Carlos Whittaker since everybody and their mother reads him, but here is a must-watch video he posted.
• It's a whole other ballgame to read the Bible when you aren't preaching it. The only way to take it is inward.
• I just wrote the first 900 words of book #2 last night. What a difference in writing confidence #1 makes.
• We've never gotten so many e-mail Christmas cards in all of our lives. I like it.
• The weekend DUMPED snow all over Virginia except here in Virginia Beach where the water is still warm, it's always 5 o'clock, and people wear flip-flops at Christmas.
• I'm excited to announce that Whiteboard is coming back. I'll share the details just after Christmas.
• I took about 4 of the suggestions you gave on my "Who Would You Like to Hear?" post. Thanks again for that.
• How does one ever tire of People of WalMart?
• I marvel at the number of causes and charities we promote... and yet our own lives are so remarkably unchanged. What ever happened to abandonment for a cause, rather than just throwing tips at it?
• The top 100 most followed people on Twitter.
• And finally, for your viewing pleasure, the Red Bull BC One b-boy competition. I'm competing in video #3.

I've been using the Action Book from Behance for about 3 years now and LOVE it. I can't imagine attending a meeting without the column of colored boxes on the right, crying out for action steps to be captured. If I ever leave a meeting with barely anything in that column, I know it was a meeting that shouldn't have happened.

Good to hear Whiteboard is coming back. What do you need me to help with? I'll make my way down to VA Beach for it.

First of all, save yourself a ton of money on whiteboard paint - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=white+board+paint

Second, mix in chalkboards and magnetic surfaces.

Third, if you are poor, get yourself a job as a security guard. Then get a post that's one shift a week at a corporate office park. The tech-ier the better. You would not believe how much stuff gets thrown out - whiteboards, moleskins, all the stationery you would ever need gets regularly discarded. Every so often, a lease is up, and an entire office gets abandoned. Sure, the leased stuff goes back - furniture, copiers, phones, etc. But everything else gets trashed.

One added benefit is that you get to see wall charts and war rooms of actual companies. Good examples and motivation.

I'd love your help Brian... maybe we can e-mail about it.

and Mike it sounds like you've got the inside track on salvaging corporate goods. =)

In my heart I am a break dancer! Me and my kids love to watch Junior b-boy video's on YouTube. They loved this link you posted. My kids participate in the Hip Hop Dance Squad at the Dream Center. It's led by Dena Rizzo, nationally renown Hip Hop Dance teacher (yes, she is Dino's sister too) God is using dance to touch some kids lives. You can read one storyabout it here,http://www.thewardrobeandthewhitetree.com/2009/12/brdc-dance-team-elliot.html
