As I talked with Alan tonight at our Future Economy Council meeting at the Conover Tavern, I asked Alan some specific questions during the informal part of our gathering and then Alan was asked to present this topic to the group. Alan's desire is for this network to bring recognition to the area and display the technological capacity that Hickory has to offer.
I left the Conover tavern and arrived home a little after 9pm and sitting here figuring out what I wanted to discuss, I have thought about how Alan has shown a desire to improve the area and he has taken steps toward doing just that. We need to support Alan's effort here. What can you do? You can give Alan's media network a chance. How hard is that? All you have to do is Download and listen.
This network currently offers many different programs and of course over time that is expected to grow. I have also had the good fortune of getting to know Houston Harris the owner of Pixelspace and Interopsis over the last few years and I have grown to respect his business formula. Houston has spoken in the past about his idea of Free Range Chicken Thinking. On The Mesh, there is a show that is dedicated to the discussion of the "Free Range Chicken" philosophy. by Houston and members of his staff in which they discuss the intricacies of this philosophy, which I previously written about on this blog in an article entitled "The Future Economy Council, Houston Harris, The Granary."
Houston talked about "Free Range Chicken thinking." He says he wants to be the oldest rooster in the yard. Their life is different from a coup raised chicken, they want to survive. They are lean, they have to move fast, they've got to find some food, they've got to run from that ax, eventually they will get caught, but the free range chicken has an attitude about survival. They adapt and try new things. Thinking is about finding those things and keeping your brain in this mode of what's new -- I can't be afraid of this.

Good to see positive and inclusive work towards a community dialogue rather than your negitive rantings. Will tune in MESH and tune out Hound.
