Article Excerpt:

This is the one I delivered in early November in DC to the seminar series put on by Johns Hopkins and the Office of Force Transformation.

It is found here: http://www.jhuapl.edu/POW/rethinking/video.cfm. You can watch it in chunks or download the entire set of 13 vids at once (takes a while).

You can also access a PDF compilation of the slides (high quality), or just the audio as MP3, or notes of the talk (to include the Q&A--only so-so).

Pretty cool package!

This brief covers the first half of the book and basically employs about 1/3rd of my slides on BFA. Eventually, I hope to give the entire brief somewhere, but I'm guessing it would run about 4 hours with breaks.

For now, there is this.

I think of this brief as my "late Elvis" brief. Bit painful to watch my expanded waistline in action later in the brief. But you gotta remember: this was after many days on the road. If I wasn't already on a diet, I would be after seeing myself with my suit coat off in this video. For a while, it took my eyes off my expanding bald spot!

Oh the joys of middle age (sing with me! "Middle age man: Caught between 40 and 55, accruing more interest but losing his sex drive. Acquiring skills and a gut! [do-do-do-do-duh-duh-duh!] Middle age maaaaaaaaan! Middle age maaaaaan!).

Mike Myers must someday turn that tragic SNL character into a movie. . .

Have a nice Thanksgiving. Enjoy your families and see you next week.
