On a tip by UK Special Agent Wardy, I am frolicking through Jeff Jarvis' seminal work What Would Google Do? (WWGD) It is mesmerizingly brilliant at every turn of every phrase, and deals eerily with a several issues over which the RCVman brain trust has been in debate. Open source codes. Complete transparency. Beta testing. Risk taking. I can go on. It is a new paradigm setting anchor, mates, and you can embrace it and sail to the new dawn, or, as is eloquently observed in the video clip, hold on to your incumbent comfort zone and go the way of the dinosaur. Let us make mistakes. LOT'S OF 'EM. Thank you JJ. (click to play)

In 2007 RacerMate Inc of Seattle, Wa. hired me to produce their new software line of products to be called, TA DA, Real Course Videos. So almost overnight I became (cue the theme music) RCVman. This is the story of my work on the road, filming triathlons and searching for true love. Some things never change.

Wow, thanks.
Hey, it works! Better than magic. Happy 4th, sir.
So, is there global warming or not? And, will we be able to somehow preserve skiing in Aspen if we continue to warm? These are the business ideas I'm thinking about. The jazz festival in winter just does not seem right.
Those that embrace change (in its myriad forms) are the ones that will have an easier go of it in the near future. "Fixing" global warming by mandating fuel efficiency is like a smoker switching to menthol, or perhaps more appropriately, like a 30 pound overweight biker who spends 5K on carbon-fiber bike thinking it will make him a stronger climber. Fact is, these are outdated paradigms, we need to change our way of thinking. Stop smoking, eat better, lose weight, ride more-drive less, contribute to the solution, spread the word and read WWGD. (and not necessarily in that order). Happy Fourth Yankee Doodle.
I believe though too that if I had that new carbon bike I could adapt better and climb faster.

After spending 10 years in post-high school education, 6 of it graduate education, and then another 25 working; I have to say I admire action over talk and grand ideas. Literally, action. The kid in the previous comment has the right idea.
