What does it take to be the Michael Jordan of?

When people talk about someone being the Michael Jordan of something, they're usually referencing a standard of greatness. But what makes a Michael Jordan? Or a Tiger Woods, a Peyton Manning, or a Michael Phelps? Or, for that matter, an Alex Bogusky, a Dan Wieden, or a David Droga? I've narrowed it down to four characteristics. Genetics (also known as talent). Willpower. Competitiveness. And luck.

Shh, there was a Creative Pod meeting last night

The Creative Pod meeting last night was a little quiet. Maybe the Rockies game across the street jammed up parking. Or maybe people were just saving their energy for tonight's kickball tournament. The upshot was that about eight of us gathered at Thought Equity to watch the latest reel from Lurzer's Archive and discuss the Denver 50.

Tim of Thought Equity volunteered to help us find a venue for our November show. Two folks from Crispin dropped by to let us know they plan to enter. Fueld had some ideas for a viral video. I seem to remember drinking a Blue Moon.
