Twitter experiment results are coming soon- the summary is taking longer than I expected. It worked very well. Better than expected…The Renaissance is happening.

While I have an audience gathering I wanted to make a point of citing this really neat hacking post…it really shows how wonderful and how dangerous a position we all occupy and will also greatly improve your chances at winning online games. Seriously.

So, there you sit behind your terminal. Monitoring all traffic in and out, upgrading your latest snort IDS rules, patching your BSD box and drinking exotic beers. Not knowing that you are insecure due to the fact that you’ve installed WordPress, PHPBB or some other software package which can be abused to own your network. All this software had holes, others still do. Code vulnerabilities pop up like mushrooms and there is no way to patch all systems that run it. Everyday a dozen new exploits are released for open source or commercial software packages.

Master of Collisions

Most “social media” types, or even “normal people” will never interface with the old or new school hacking forces. I mean the really brilliant types that really don’t care if you do not know that hash is something other than a drug or a checksum has nothing to do with your checkbook or that Firefox is no longer secure and private as once thought…

Collider Class Ten

You have to have social collisions in order to grow and that is one of my rare talents. I am going to teach you how to be a master super collider. You will become more irritating, yet more humerous and magnetic…and like me you will get to know lots of important, famous, smart and wealthy people. Mistakes are valued and risk is appreciated and your life will be different.

Yes, for those that know me on a personal level, that is how I do it. I collide.

Diversity Trainer

I have worked in film, security, games, e-commerce and long ago I even worked in medicine. I have done some pretty neat stuff with brilliant people. I am good at many things because I can make connections most cannot. It can be a gift and it can be a curse.

Colliders Caused Brain Surgery

Do you want a carpenter doing your brain surgery? No. However, brain surgery started out with people holding saws and playing with drills. If the first guy hadn’t started drilling holes in someone’s head to relieve the pressure we wouldn’t be doing the incredible things we do now- like brain surgery.

Niche is Sweet but Generalists Are Humble

We now live in a world of niche and speciality. I am a generalist, so it is more of a curse by conventional measurement. My goal is to help you collide with others and increase your unique thought by virtue of being curious. Most people just aren’t curious.

What I am offering hasn’t been invented yet, or I am not educated enough to realize what it is. This is what makes it work. Education is powerful, but too much education means you forget how to “try” and remember it is more a long-term process.

Naturally there is something in it for me, several things actually. I want to see if I can replicate some of these traits and create a legion of colliders. This is different than an influencer.

A social collider would ask… Can we do this?

Most people would say no. A collider will do it anyway.

It is Like Candy

When chocolate and peanut butter came together the world got a Reese’s Cup. Who in the hell would have thought of putting them together would kick? I don’t know who did, but in the commercials it was usually some crazy collision and happened by accident as people fell down and required brain surgery.

I will increase your rate of having accidents and mistakes…and show you the wisdom in this. I am like you, very human and prone to error, but how I process errors is probably different.

Good Examples are Great

I will help you find great examples to weld into your thinking and conversations. For example, my new found communications’ wizard Ike Pigott writes the best damn quotes ever. I know I will not get close, but I will try and to show him how grateful I am. I might teach him monetization skills. Things might happen.

More Good but Not Great Quotes

“I want to invert social network theory and get the wrong people talking together!”

That is what I would say. Ike would say, and it is on his blog which you should read….

“Those who fail to re-examine the rules of the game get beaten before they know it. Don’t re-create the wheel, when what you should re-create is your perspective.” -Ike Pigott

Re-Create Your Perspective…that should be on a damn coffee mug and Ike should never have to put forth any money to get his messages into the stream.

Some Attempts at Precision

I will never be like Ike, but I can be unique and I am happy with that. In fact after reading the fragment on social networks I would say something gloomy like…

“The entire social network can be gamed, hacked, defaced, erased or spoofed at anytime at anyplace and you cannot defend against it all. It is software and peopleware vulnerable.”

Now my security friends are showing up all over Twitter.

Did I mention I know all kinds of important security people? I really do. It is a good thing too, because security is hard work and I prefer to spend my time just thinking. Imagine colliding with a mental giants who can solve all kinds of mathematical problems, but mostly like to sit around and read weird comics? I know many of these people and they are wicked smart, that is why they read comics.

You Get to Measure Yourself

Remember that motivations are many. There IS more too life than money, fame or power. Monetary gain is one form of measurement. You get to decide how you measure things. It is all relative and a matter of perspective.

Don’t let anyone tell you different. This is a natural side effect of unique thinking…in fact, one of the smartest colliders I know chooses to live in a house without running water in rural Appalachia.

I really appreciate every glass of water I get at his house! I have to get it from the well myself. He was talking about the stuff you read today ten years ago.

Brownian Motion Rocks

Think about that…All you need to do is spread the thought around and break your patterns. Once you do you can make remarkable and unusual observations like I do all the time. I am not a genius I simply know where to accidentally “fall” and my life is more interesting because of it. It appears to be brilliant.

You will get to meet rich, famous, and brilliant people if you wish…if it were anyone other than myself (who grew up poor, obscure, etc) I would be very skeptical. Skeptics are good. Skepticism is the foundation stone of a collider. This is your opportunity just listen and then act over the next weeks. I will tell you what to do.

Why Collide?

Because I am feeling lucky and I have to do things like this when that happens…I am even growing a new beard to celebrate my luckiness factor.

Steampunk style. It is a trend I have known about for some time. This is the kind of stuff you might be the first to discover.
