  1. Have you been lis­te­ning to my con­ver­sa­tions again Hugh?

    GREAT car­toon Hugh and thank you for refe­ren­cing the on-point Sco­ble post as it was awe­some. The bad news is that I was ins­pi­red by his post to write a bloodly long com­ment rela­tive to that post… I men­tio­ned the Glo­bal Micro Brand con­cept as evi­den­ced (for exam­ple) by your work on behalf of Stormhoek because in 10 – 20 years I believe this con­cept will be con­si­de­red a stan­dard of exce­llence for con­nec­ting with peo­ple and crea­ting demand… All with integrity.

  3. Nice car­toon. I’m trying to work out whether peo­ple would think I was being iro­nic or stu­pid by put­ting it on my busi­ness card. Any­way, I got ins­pi­red to write a long article like Shea­mus, but on a dif­fe­rent topic. The only line in the whole thing that will stay with me will pro­bably be “Pas­sion is the steam engine of the next indus­trial revo­lu­tion” but I’m not sure if that’s ori­gi­nal or even true.
    Any­way, keep up the work on the car­toons — I pre­fer them to dis­cus­sion of wine. ;-)

    i pre­fer the wine stuff to the cartoons…

    Your wine stuff rocks! All done with ele­gance, not an easy task. BTW, when will I be able to buy some Stormhoek in Toronto?

    Hugh — As I star­ted off my post (see below for link) where I riff on your ori­gi­nal sketch (and idea), I have much res­pect for the work you do.
    Not only do I enjoy the smile it brings to my face (irony is a good thing), but it spins quickly into ideas that are rela­ted to the world of edua­tion, the ‘future of lear­ning’ in other words. I’ve pos­ted your ori­gi­nal link and sketch…and added a edu-re-mix of it as well to help look at simi­lar issues in schools the sys­tem of edu­ca­tion in gene­ral. The link: http://thinklab.typepad.com/think_lab/2006/09/gaping_eduvoid.html
    If this is inap­pro­priate or done in a way that does not align with your desire to share your work, please let me know and I’ll make appro­priate chan­ges or remove it enti­rely. In the mean­time, know that I look for­ward to trying the wine (one day soon, I hope), and truly appre­ciate the world view you bring…and ins­pire.
    Cheers, Christian
