http://cowmanauction.com/nrmoerce.php?Fox=d3wL7 Great Ideas… We all have them and it feels great to have a great idea. There is a momentary high that feels almost as good as having actually accomplished something. This is a dangerous feeling. I say this because having an idea is the easy part. Delivering on that idea is difficult. (more…)

Laura Ling Sprung Me From Prison at Least 3 Times
Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Something that’s been bothering me about this whole Laura Ling Thing, is she’s been my liberator several times since we first met-the most recent occasion was one year ago today when she paroled me from the idea there was no place better than working with her so I could run off and join the Obama’s new media team.

(by the way, FEDEX bought Kinkos for $2.4 Billion in 2004 and lost $876 Million just last quarter) (more…)
Schmoo Band o’ the Week: The Grass Roots
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009If you begin to start asking yourself — is this guy Beckmann using SchmooNEWS to write some sort of PHD dissertation for egs.edu — and you answered YES — you’d be RIGHT! I’ve been talking about the “Programming of Robotic American Culture” for the last 5 years, driving away more chicks than ordering the garlic penne pasta on your date at your neighborhood Olive Garden® – issimo!
What does this mean in short (you don’t want the long version–I can already see the pigeons scattering)? I’m studying where the creative goo comes from, and I’m writing about in here in a concerted way to try to inspire it in all of the schmoos.
This week, we look at the ‘origination in name’ — through this Schmoo band o’ the week — the Grass Roots! (more…)
