Grove, Intel co-founder. In other words, it becomes nearly impossible to look beyond what you know and think outside the box you’ve built around yourself.<br /><br />"This so-called curse of knowledge, a phrase used in a 1989 paper in The Journal of Political Economy, means that once you’ve become an expert in a particular subject, it’s hard to imagine not knowing what you do. Your conversations with others in the field are peppered with catch phrases and jargon that are foreign to the uninitiated. When it’s time to accomplish a task — open a store, build a house, buy new cash registers, sell insurance — those in the know get it done the way it has always been done, stifling innovation as they barrel along the well-worn path...<br /><br />"To innovate you have to bring together people with a variety of skills.<br /><br />"When experts have to slow down and go back to basics to bring an outsider up to speed it forces them to look at their world differently and, as a result, they come up with new solutions to old problems."<br /><br />This is why we need to think differently about television. This is why old media is threatened.danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-77992977318017432952007-11-11T21:01:00.001-05:002007-11-11T21:01:13.111-05:00sticking to breaking rules<div > </div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 12px 0px; font-family: arial; color: #333333; background: #ffffff; border: solid 4px #e5e5e5; width: 100%; clear: left;"><tr><td valign="top"><!-- BEGIN_CLIP_CONTENT ID:C763167C-D3E5-4F88-9B8F-3087F97AA6A3:0 CLIPMARKS.COM --><div class="CM_CTB_Content_Wrap" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;background-color: #ffffff;"><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="clipmarks' clip-to-blog"><img src="http://content.clipmarks.com/blog_icon/268f704b-df90-4691-aff8-4c272fd5d76d/C763167C-D3E5-4F88-9B8F-3087F97AA6A3/" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/magazine/11roadtrip-t.html" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/magazine/11roadtrip-t.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.nytimes.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/magazine/11roadtrip-t.html"><P>In doing different road movies, I also came to realize that a good screenplay grants you more freedom to improvise than a weak one.

The notion that one event causes another, and that the entire chain is a unified whole, with a complex, may be ambivalent, but, in any case, coherent meaning, not only brings us to a point of resolution; it allows us to navigate through our lives. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:58px;" width="58"><a href="http://clipmarks.com" title="go to clipmarks.com"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot-logo.png" border="0" alt="powered by clipmarks" width="58" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:48px" width="48"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/11B1B76F-AAC5-453F-9AC7-CDCC877D87E9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot-blogit.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="48" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div><!-- END_CLIP_CONTENT --></td></tr></table> danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-22697386016493947842007-02-12T06:45:00.000-05:002007-02-04T07:45:14.416-05:00neuromarketingWhaddyaknow!

As a therapeutic application, storytelling is a technique that encourages people to analyze events and relationships clearly and put them into perspective. This process grants permission for a negative or stressful situation to be developed into a positive or resurrective narrative. The concept is simple: you can't change what happened, but you can change where you stand in relation to that story. That is, you don't need to stand in the victim's place. If you retell the story, you become the author. Through that reauthoring process, the story gets rewritten according to your version of it."danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-6533706035388487882007-01-07T13:55:00.000-05:002007-01-07T14:00:34.722-05:00New Yorker Article on State of Cinema<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/critics/atlarge/articles/070108crat_atlarge">Great piece</a> in the NYer regarding cinema by David Denby, one of my favorite film critics. I do dislike 99 percent of Hollywood productions BUT I LOVE THE BIG SCREEN. It is different than the tiny web screen. I watch most of my media now in little, tiny 320x240 screens on my computer. I am as enthralled and bored as I am with big pictures. There is real psychology to where and how you watch. But if you become engaged in a story, no matter how big of a screen you are watching, that shows the real power.danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-19011223782819782642006-12-31T13:37:00.000-05:002006-12-31T13:42:26.320-05:00Interviewing Problems and SolutionsIn this month's GQ, correspondent Chris Heath gives us a delightful insight on what to do when an interview goes bad. He didn't intend for this to happen, but in his interview with De Niro he had to show us behind the scenes to explain the dearth of material.<br /><br />The article really goes to show how important the relationship is between the interviewee and the interviewer. Sometimes even the best can be foiled by reluctant interviewees. Heath has guts though and presses on!<br /><br /><a href="http://men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_5248">Link</a>danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-9843678102617951152006-12-17T18:28:00.000-05:002006-12-17T18:29:31.753-05:00Sarnoff Quote from 1950“When Television has fulfilled its destiny, humanity’s sense of physical limitation will be swept away, and boundaries of sight and hearing will be the limits of the earth itself. With this may come a new horizon, a new philosophy, a new sense of freedom and greatest of all, perhaps a finer and broader understanding between all the people in the world.”<br /><br />David Sarnoff<br />Chairman of the Board<br />RCA<br />1950danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-52443352482991253442006-11-22T07:30:00.001-05:002006-11-22T07:31:15.582-05:00A.O. Scott in the NYTimes 11/22/06"In narrative art, nothing is more artificial than an ending — life, after all, does go on — and Mr. Altman’s endings often serve two purposes. They bring the artifice to a dazzling pitch of virtuosity while exposing it as a glorious sham. They revel in plenitude, in throngs and spectacles, but there is a throb of emptiness, of incompletion, in the midst of the frenzy."danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-58502520087762003652006-11-20T07:04:00.000-05:002007-01-16T21:38:37.000-05:00Aging ThoughtsFrom AOL Headline about lack of programming for the 40 plus age set:<br /><br />"One statistic he's sure to cite: The survey found 51 percent of the postwar generation describe themselves as "open to new ideas." Meanwhile, only 12 percent of young adults think the older folks feel that way.<br /><br />Why does that matter? Jones said the average media buyer or planner is under 30. Many are undoubtedly hired for their know-how in appealing to a specific generation, and it isn't the baby boomers.<br /><br />"There is this huge perception versus reality situation in the marketplace," he said.<br /><br />Jones is pushing the idea of a "middlescence," about 40-to-59-year-olds who don't feel young anymore but don't feel old, and have plenty of discretionary income."<br /><br /><br />I still wonder why the under 40 set is bought at $300 a minute while the older set is bought at $100. Age is so "long tail" there is more money to spend and more money to spend for a longer time. <br /><br />In the world of television I would be concentrating much more on the 40 plus demographic especially as the under 40 flocks to the internet. That is not to say that the over 40 is not capable, perhaps the over 40 just doesn't spend its time investing in mindless entertainment. <br /><br />This study shows what it the ongoing paradigm in TV advertising: statistics and perception really don't add up.danchannelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02315697987311560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432277.post-7149450293667065552006-11-18T16:32:00.001-05:002006-11-20T07:12:25.103-05:00Lobes"Movies can't work with the frontal lobe," says Mr. Kidd.

Otherwise you’re stopped by what you know, which is limited. Chance is what a lot of artists use. In my case, I’ll arrange ways for things to be unpredictable. That’s what’s nice about working on prints. You’re working with other people so you have to let go of some of your own ideas.
