Working Away In the Network: Brief Thoughts.......

It has been a whirlwind of a morning as the team finished a series of notations, decided on some tenative projects for 2016 as it also continues the work on Daily Outsider 2.x.    It was also gratifying to see the Fortune BusinessPersons of the year that I shared on my LinkedIn & Personal Twitter Feeds earlier today.

It is also an exciting day as I saw this:

 

Exoplanet the 'most important' ever found

A small planet, just a bit bigger than Earth, has been spotted in our stellar neighbourhood, just 39 light-years away.

But, as always, I can't help but be thankful as the team approved for me to share this from the daily thoughts by +Jonathan Huie as I wish all a fab Thursday :-) 

Could Not Keep the Team Away....:-)

The team was on the "prowl" this morning as it released a few updates (including a special edition on Veterans Day which I found to be quite a nice touch by the folks at @GovLoop).   It was also quite a day on the political front as our team was assessing the aftermath of the latest GOP debate and prospects for the future.   The field continues to be as volatile as ever.

I could not help but again take comfort in what the fabulous Victor Frankl noted which +Jonathan Huie recently published and the team was gracious enough to allow me to share here in my "Corner":

A lesson to be remembered for us all...

Happy Veterans Day!!!

Working Away w/Brief Thoughts on the Eve of Veterans Day.....

As #Outsiders goes dark for Veterans Day, I wanted to share this clip on Iran that a friend shared to underscore the true nature of Iran beyond the "hype" out there.    I was reflecting upon this as I caught a glimpse of the "Kids" Debate (that Chris Christie and Mike Huckbaee got demoted to) as all talked about a "Bad Iran Deal" without a clear alternative and constantly bashed Government.    

As I write this, the "leaders" are beginning their debate with the pundits hard at work saying Jeb has to have a stellar performance, Marco has to emerge stronger, etc. etc.     Our team decided not to watch the debate and will continue to assess the state of the campaign as has been done with outreach efforts, direct virtual engagement as necessary along with a sense of what is before it by consulting.   It is interesting that Bobby Jindal's campaign that "Bobby Crushed it".    My reaction was: So!?!?!   What the country needs to realize is that the conservative alternative is in full force in Kansas:  It is not working unless one talks to Sam Brownback, The Governor.

I have not formally decided on who to endorse--but what I did find very hillarious was what Hillary's Campaign did which I wanted to share:

(Update:  Marco Rubio's Campaign apparently is already fundraising on it...the team will have some updates on it later on this week--as the team is also working on change in Canada and change in Colombia).

On a More Important note, I wanted to wish all Veterans in the United States and their families a Happy Veterans Day and underscore that their service will never be forgotten as I also hope all enjoy this beautiful clip depicting the real Iran:
