Creativity doesn’t always work. It’s not something that you can just turn on and off - everyone gets stuck with the “writer’s block” at some point in time. So the next time this happens to you, here’s a simple solution: change something.
You need to create movement and change in your daily routine. Do […]

What Would You Do With $3 Million?

Posted on January 24, 2008 - Filed Under ideaDRUNK's ideas | 7 Comments

$3 million dollars. What could it buy you? A nice house. The ability to travel around the world for the rest of your life. About 8 Ferraris. Two weeks of AIDS retroviral treatments for 300,000 people in Africa.

Or it could buy a 30 second spot during the Super Bowl.
The question posed by Brains […]

So, something super-groovy happened. Apparently, Idea Drunk is a finalist for the Canadian Blog Awards for Best Business/Finance Blog. That’s cool.
DJ Team Canada … some quality home grown talent.
I’ve taken a quick look at the other blogs in the category, and some of them seem quite good, although some skew finance, which isn’t really my […]

Did anyone else know that Will Smith was a Scientologist? I just found out. My immediate reaction was disbelief. Will Smith is one cool cat. He was funny on Fresh Prince, awesome in Bad Boys (I and II) and proved himself as a legit actor/producer with The Pursuit of Happiness.

A couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to be asked to help work on a new business pitch for Speed Stick. Yeah, I know, deodorant (or Under-Arm Protection as they call it in the industry) isn’t the most exciting thing in the world. But what is cool is thinking about things that you […]
