On the Prowl....

It is mid-week as the #outsiders journey continues nonstop.    As I reflect upon the journey on the second month of Outsider 2.x, it was quite poignant that I ran across this  daily "minute w/Maxwell" which I wanted to feature here as I wish all a great rest of the week:

As May 2016 Dawns......

It was a day again of Social Curation and assessment  as I continued supporting our ever changing World.  It was amusing to me personally as I saw speculation on Donald Trump's VP prospects.   This amusement was tempered, though, by chaos in Iraq and the continued tragedy in Syria.   For the record, I still refer to those countries in a unitary way even though both countries effectively ceased to exist as a country long ago which will be further assessed in #Outsiders over the course of the ensuing weeks.  

It was also a weekend of service as I was witness to a joyous time at the Taste of Aliso Niguel 2016. This is an event that has been held for the past 9 years supporting Aliso Niguel High School's Activites that also provides an opportunity for the various Atheltic Programs to also raise funds for their programs through an auction process.   The Food was great, the music was fabulous and the vibrancy of the community was ever so evident.      As I was also "on the Grid", this "popped up" on my personal Facebook Wall:

Embracing a sense of hope is key as  I look to what I view as another challenging month  with the ongoing daily challenges of #outsiders and other projects.   What  I took comfort were the thoughts I looked up from the great Michael Jordan which I hope continues to an inspiration to all:

On This Working W-End: Thoughts On #Outsides & #Success & Remembering Carl Sagan & Space....

Today has been exactly 30 days since Daily Outsider 2.x Beta  Began.   As I have noted, it has been a challenging transition as the tweaking and build-out is continuing.  

One of the key focus points for me is to relaunch and revamp the community channel in the new channel including on-going developments throughout my home community of Laguna Niguel and Beyond.    It is exciting as I have a unique interesting chance to put Laguna Niguel on the map with what I will be doing with the Traffic Commission Initiative that was just concluded.

These I ran across go to the heart of  this journey of hope that I picked upon +EdCast on Friday:  

10 Great Rule For Success: A youtuber has mined some of the best insights from Elon Musk over the course of several interviews. This is a fantastic...

As I refleced upon the last thirty days, I could not help but embrace this from the great Carl Sagan and lamented the fact over Facebook as I worked "on the Grid" tending to commitments at the Daily Outsider on how he was missed :

“In science it often happens that scientists say,

‘You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,’and then they would actually change their mindsand you never hear that old view from them again.They really do it.It doesn’t happen as often as it should,because scientists are humanand change is sometimes painful.But it happens every day.I cannot recall the last time something like thathappened in politics or religion.”

Happy May day to all!!!
