this:

is fun and significant - there’s the backdrop of pop culture politics and the ease of sharing, plus the sense (in the press and in our real lives) that America is at a crossroad and that there are stark decisions that need to be made by individual Americans that can have a real effect on our future…to say nothing about the world that we influence, for good and ill.

Take a blend of the 1977 Academy Award winner Rocky, an ‘underdog-battles-intense-odds-and-wins-in-spite-of-them’ story that resonates with such power in the American cultural mindset, and the comedic video technique that gained a widespread reputation with the Spiridellis Bros’ This Land is Your Land

and call me in the morning;-)

full disclosure: I am an Obama supporter.

Busy, busy, busy! Here’s some of what’s going on:

I’ll be presenting on Wednesday to the Tokyo Small Business Meetup. Title: The New Media Toolkit.

Interesting group- I’m looking forward to the presentation. Actually, I’ve been trying to get to these meetups for a while, but had too much on my plate. So now I’m working on a bigger plate!:-)

My next presentation is to the totally rocking ladies at FEW: Foreign Executive Women in Japan That’ll be on April 10 at FEW’s Monthly Meeting

It’s a similar subject, longer and more comprehensive.

And, in another very thrilling event for me, I had my first guest post at the Groups News Blog, on Black Liberation Theology, to help put some context around the media-created furor over Sen. Obama’s pastor’s sermon last year.

Hmmm…I suppose I’m going to mix business and personal life in this blog, and I think, on reflection, that that’s allright.
