“Stop Selling. Start Helping.” …I needed divine inspiration for THIS? Reeeeeally.

I got a bit muddled this afternoon and went out on the porch with my markers to sort it out. I dribbled my brain out onto the paper for awhile, finger painting, listening to the wind and the rustling of branches and the sound of quiet Austin heat (104 degrees, to be precise). What I [...]

This is an, ah, administrative announcement. ;}

I’ve hooked up this blog’s RSS feed with the RSS of That Idea Blueprint Girl so that everything flows through one inter-tube. The RSS chicklets on both sites have been updated to use that tube, hereby dubbed the Global Megan Feed. I’m not integrating the two sites (yet… ever?) [...]

When Life Isn’t About Money

I read last week on Boing Boing about Javanese batikers who aren’t interested in copyrighting their work. What? They don’t want exclusive protection for their intellectual property? Whyever would someone do that?

Survival of the Slickest

by Megan M. on July 14, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

This is a wacky road I have decided to walk. I just realized that—without even thinking—I had marked all my Idea Blueprint Girl content by-nc-sa, instead of by-sa.

Wherein You Find Out Just How Scary That Idea Blueprint Girl Launch Was — Surprise!

by Megan M. on July 13, 2009 · View Comments (Blog) |

I often find myself under the delusion that forcing the good change will get it over with and then I won’t have [...]

That Idea Blueprint Girl

Brooke Thomas sent me a note not long ago letting me know that she was organizing a graduation gift to commemorate the end of Seth Godin’s Alternative MBA program: For Seth, from the almost-Alternative-MBAs. That is, those of us who submitted an application but didn’t make it into the program!

This was a bizarre coincidence, because [...]
