Build a great product for people who will grab it out of your hand
WOW! It's great to read statements like this!
From the Forbes report by J.J. Colao as he interviews Steve Blank who is an eight-time entrepreneur and The Four Steps to the Epiphany author for this Forbes story called:
Silicon Valley Is The New Hollywood: Ignore The Hype And Keep Working
Excerpt from the story:
Even talented, hardworking CEOs and founders can get caught up in the hype. Why? Blank lists seven reasons:

If CEOs get caught up in doing press for reasons other than the last three, he says, their companies are doomed. The only mantra that startups need: “Build a great product for people who will grab it out of your hand.”
WALTHER SSP .22cal MATCH PISTOL by Champ Choice
After reading about the Match Pistol events and seeing the images, I was curious as to what is so different and or special about these firearms, so I did some looking and came across Champ Choice.
Give this a read if you are interested in something truly special but make sure you move your drink away from the computer as you are about to spill it:

Army and Navy Pushed Aside as The Citadel Wins Standard Pistol Title
Tired of seeing the Army and Navy’s rivalry play out during the NRA Intercollegiate Pistol Championships at Ft. Benning, shooters from The Citadel decided it was time to take matters into their own hands.
Standard Pistol (also known as sport pistol) is a .22 LR (Long Rifle) handgun with a minimum capacity of five rounds. Additional requirements including the use of open sights as well as a restrictions on grip design.
Standard Pistol’s individual champion did not come from any of these schools, though. That honor went to Joe Totts of Ohio State University.

By the International Shooting Sport Federation's rules, sport pistols must be in caliber .22 LR, with a minimum capacity of five rounds. Revolvers are allowed, but not at all as popular as in 25 metre center-fire pistol. Minimum trigger weight is 1,000 grams (2.2 lb), and maximum overall weight is 1,400 grams (3.1 lb). The gun may only have open sights, and there are restrictions to the design of the grip.
Common examples of sport pistols are the Benelli MP90S and Benelli MP95E, Walther GSP, the Baikal MCM, Hämmerli 208, Hämmerli 280 and Hämmerli SP20, the Pardini SP, as well as the High Standard .22 Pistol and the Smith & Wesson Model 41. Many of these have also spawned .32-caliber versions for use in the center-fire pistol event. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_pistol
The Walther GSP, Gebrauchs Sport Pistole (Sport Pistol for Standard Use), is a single-action, precision target shooting pistol made in Germany byWalther Sportwaffen. It has the same technical base as the Walther OSP and thus is almost identical in outward appearance, albeit slightly longer and heavier than the OSP.
The GSP was introduced on the world market in 1968 and was chambered for .22 Long Rifle. At the end of 1971, Walther began offering the pistol in.32 S&W Long Wadcutter as well. Regardless of its original caliber, conversion units for the other caliber are available and easily interchangeable. The anatomical, adjustable walnut grips were also available, on order from Walther, for left-handed shooters. In 1988, Walther introduced a fully adjustable (for pull, stop, and angle) two-stage trigger that athletes could retrofit their pistols with.

The Amazing Paqlite
What is it?
The UVPaqlite (U-V- Pack- Light) is designed to be a night light in a dark environment like a bedroom, bathroom, tent, or shelter ALL night long. Intentionally packaged in an industrial vacuum sealed bag the UVPaqlite is: light weight, easy to carry, waterproof, and ready to take anywhere. The crystals inside the bag make the UVPaqlite glow and it's also what makes the light reusable. After being exposed to any other type of light: sunlight, LED lights, Flashlights, blacklights, etc. the UVPaqlites will glow as a night light all night long. And you can keep recharging them again and again forever. The amount of illumination is determined by the amount of glow crystals & surface area.

Axial SCX10 Jeep JK on trail at Portland International Auto Show 2013
This past weekend I visited the Portland Auto Show along with ScottG and Brian Parker to visit with Ryan Gerrish and Brett Carlson as they have been doing demo's at the show. With the launch of the SCX10 Jeep Version we talked strategy with Ryan to change up his course design to showcase the SCX10 Jeep JK as this also coincides with Jeeps efforts with Camp Jeep.
Ryan Gerrish, Axial team driver and employee of Tammies Hobbies, and Brett Carlson of Bulu Productions constructed a special demonstration course which showcased the Axial SCX10™ Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. This is their third year to construct the popular attraction and many guests came back specifically to see what they created. We learned this from overhearing many saying they looked forward to seeing Ryan and Brett's creation at the show and made sure to find their location. It was great to see all the smiling faces after driving the vehicles on the radical terrain. The feeling of accomplishment was obvious on the faces of both young and old who drove the rigs over the technical terrain. It's all about providing fun!
See the images and read my whole story here at the Axial Blog post for Portland :

Dwindle Distribution's Rodney Mullen explains the making of a skateboard
For me personally, I started skating in 1977 and have messed around with it all my life.
This past week my daughter and I have been watching video's as I have been explaining more of the marketing and understanding the business of selling lifestyle.
So in order to have a good grasp on all this I have been showing her the some impactful items on my life. And we all know how influential the moving picture with sound is!
• Z-Boys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C78BQFDq6hM
• Bones Brigade - An Autobiography: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIIaJRlr6-Q
• The Man Who $ouled The World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6btXtUrHTo
The underlining theme from these videos is the business of lifestyle. Yes, I am talking about the business of selling cool, not selling the product! Promote the lifestyle and the lifestyle will sell the product.
And then there is the other-another side of my life...
