Ten-minute documentary “RE:Invention” captures some of the spirit I hope to convey at this website. I lost my job on April 30, 2009. While there is demand for the kind of analysis stories I write about Apple, Microsoft and other technology companies, there isn’t employment I can find. So I am reinventing myself—as the people profiled in “RE:Invention” are trying to do.
“It’s not what happens to us that’s important. It’s how we deal with it. It’s how we react to it. It’s the story we tell ourselves about what this is going to mean to us in the future. Those are the things that we have some control over”. Matt Weinstein says during “RE:Invention”.
The lives we lead are the stories we tell, and visa versa. Every life is a story. Better stated: Every life is epic. As I will explain in a future post, the econolypse isn’t a disaster but opportunity.
My compliments to filmmaker Cathy Goertz. (I spotted the documentary at Laughing Squid.)
