Santa Monica- Out To Launch

Alpha Testing Our New On Demand Luxe Valet Parking Ap Dumb and Dumber-We are smiling on our Razor Kick Scooters. ..as we are about to get run over by a Mack Truck. This is not your everyday on-demand job; a Luxe agent is a Valet, Rideshare and Taskrabbit all in one. We change the way people park by collecting, storing and returning vehicles for customers NYT Blog : When I describe it to you it will sound crazy, bourgeois and inefficient, and your first instinct will be to dismiss it. Don’t. Luxe works amazingly well, and as it and other similar services expand nationally — Luxe is starting up in Los Angeles this week — they could radically alter how large cities work. Luxe is an on-demand valet parking service. When you need to drive somewhere where parking  is tough, like pretty much any part of San Francisco, open up the app and tell it where you’ll be going. Then start driving. When you get to your destination, a valet will be waiting for you on the side of the road. He’s wearin...

Venice Beach- Here Come The Bikes

Venice Beach: Epicenter of Narcissism ๐ŸŒด VENICE BEACH, CA ๐Ÿšด‍♂️ The Epicenter of Narcissism • Where Bikes Meet Beach Culture Today In Venice Beach - The Epicenter of Narcissism A Bike And A Prayer The bicycle was the GR8est incident of the nineteenth century ; the most influential piece of product design ever and the most civilized conveyance around. It is not brain surgery, it is rocket science---the advantages of modern self-powered traffic are obvious, and ignored. Screw BP (British Polluters), This is my Carbon Offset I am my own engine, converting calories into gas, my bike gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon ...and no parking problems. Why waste your ...

Silicon Beach-The Uber of Everything

Image
December has been a blast not from the past but the NOW- The Future ain't what it used to be. After visiting Tech in Motion @ Cross Campus in Santa Monica last Wednesday, the answer to the L.A.  questions what are you doing? no longer is "Working on a screenplay"---it's "I'm working on an AP" . I met some cool ppl from Zeel , an on demand massage service- Yep, you heard it right they are the Uber of that! Seems like Booze Delivery When you hook people with a lot of money and no time, with people with a lot of time and no money, you have the ODE-On Demand Economy. The smartphone is the REAL Remote Control to the YOUniverse. Aps are sprouting up everywhere too  and  talked with the ppl from  Sqyre . Came across this poem on my twitter feed that captures the  Zeitgeist over here. There’s  Uber for planes ,  And  Uber for jets , An  Uber for pills   And  Uber for pets . There’s  Uber for dogs , And  Uber for cats . N...

Santa Monica- The Epiphany Chair

Image
“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.” –G. K. Chesterton. The older I get, the better my past gets. This  video is about  my magic bench, where I began my science of achievement experience of making the invisable  visible and in the process have had moments of extreme fulfillment on simply advancing confidentially in the directions of my dreams, meeting with a success unknown in common hours.

SO'TON-Queen Mary 2

Image
Keep Calm Cause Ship Happens. I always get an amazing feeling when I walk past a ship I have "lived" and worked on. The QM2 is no miraculous exception.  This is not your typical cruise ship. In fact, it is the last of the great oceanliners- passage ships designed for 12 months brutal Atlantic crossings NY to SO'TON. Her keel sits higher above  the water line, 7 decks instead of 5, which makes it cut water better and makes for a smoother ride. I Remember..... QM2  @sea July 2014 After 6 sea days, we took a voyage, not a cruise onboard the Queen Mary2. This is the shortest bridge between New York and Europe. Airplanes, afterall, are like diets - I don't like being on them . The QM2 allows dogs onboard-cute! The Queen Mary 2 comes to Hamburg every year.  For her tenth jubilee she got a special celebration. I took lots of videos, and posted them for my my friends on Facebook, but this one pretty much sums up the crowds enthusi...
