ASHTON KUTCHER PREMIERES jOBS AT SUNDANCE 2013
Although graphene the new super material in the works is pitted to be the new silicon, ashton kutcher, 34, is known in hollywood for his entrepreneurial silicon ventures in i.t and the guy who was the first social media megastar of the USA when twitter launched.
For Ashton, when so much of his wealth and interests are spread across i.t ventures and i.t development, parlaying his star profile that would best suit his business portfolio, saw ashton step into the role of steve jobs for the biopic film of the usa’s once no.1 nasdaq listed company.
ashton starring in jOBS appeared at sundance film festival, where all the new cool kids in movie entertainment on the indie scene congregate each year. in promoting the film here’s what kutcher had to say about playing steve j.
“he’s a guy who failed and got back on the horse… i think we can all sort of relate to that at some point in life… what was nice was when I was preparing for the character, i could still work on product development for technology companies, and I would sort of stay in character, (more…)
KIND HEART, GETS IT DONE, SMART. STEADY. INTERESTED IN WORLD – NEW CHIEF OF STAFF 2013
“I know you’ll always give it to me straight, as only a friend can, telling me not only what I want to hear, but more importantly, what I need to hear to make the best possible decisions on behalf of the [people]… Gets it done. And that’s the kind of focus, but also the kind of heart, that [we] want.”
~President Obama on Denis McDonough‘s of Stillwater’s selection as new Chief of Staff, the position originally held by Rahm Emanuel. What all leaders need are honest people around them. Being afraid to tell the truth, doesn’t help leaders at all. What we need to hear, always comes at great cost. It shouldn’t though, it should be normal.

SATELLITE HUMBLE – BEYONCE’S ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA, MERCHANDISING MARKETING STRATEGIES AMP UP 2013
Beyonce Knowles is a bit of a merch marketing empire. The Houston native, NYC dwelling diva not only blogs, instagrams too, she’s also launched BeyHive. Kinda Austin Powers funny. It’s a website ”through my eyes,” the singer-dancing-athlete says. Artwork of fans is what the site features (Americans go overboard for creating pop art tributes to their most loved stars, in a way nz doesn’t yet know how to, or care to much either). Interesting ideas Beyonce is loving or being inspired by also make the site.
The singer’s fan base in New Zealand is strong. We’ll be in the mode to “stay tuned” for sure. Why we like her? Her sister is funny on twitter. I’ve been a big fan of Solange too since Sol-Angel started on social media as a pioneer of it, way back when. A beautiful creative artist with words and cultural expression in quite an understated cleva way. Non stop cleva. (more…)

WOODROW W. CLARK’S 3IR SUSTAINABILITY THINKING
I missed the Woodrow W. Clark symposium at Beverly Hills before leaving the US for New Zealand. Gov. Gray Davis and Woodrow’s thoughts impressed me enough to take a photo just prior to jumping on a jet. I took the snap as I wanted to research Woodrow & Gov. Gray’s thoughts when I could. Now could quite possibly be that time. Renewable energy and sustainability in the 3IR realm of infrastructure advances is the vibe of what they do.
His thoughts are more relevant today perhaps than ever.
