expecting the unexpected in Mexico
Unas de las razones que me disfrutaba viviendo en Mexico – cada dia, nunca sabia que va a ocurrir. Como esta desfile que encontremos durante nuestra caminata a la UAQ:

hairballs, creativity and bedbury
After the branding America workshop a few weeks back, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with a few fellow students, professors, and Scott Bedbury and Stu Redsun. At one point, we began discussing the Curiosity for Strategists class taught by Dave, which led me to discuss the term project – take something you are curious about, study it for the ten week term, and present the findings to the class.

A. I leave for Israel in T-minus 11 days…what better way to kick-start my study of the Jewish culture, right? (-;
B. On a more serious note, what better example of not judging a book by it’s cover – by passing him on the street, would you know this guy was a reggae, rap and beatboxing musician??
