As Usual Im Nobodys Market
After a brief email exchange today from an extremely smart and capable friend suggesting a potential feature for my blog, his response was “As usual, I’m nobody’s market.” He provided a humorous followup to the comment “that’s a great blog title” from one of the people on the email thread with “Ah, if only I didn't have to suck up to the world, that would be a great title for my contrarian-curmudgeon blog.”
The Status Quo and Radical Ideas
What so many of us discuss about Africa is the desire to see things change. We apply the lenses that color our lives to the problem and come up with solutions that fit our world view.

Altucher: College is "Abhorrent"
I love my friend James Altucher dearly -- and not just because his hair makes mine look half-decent, nor because he pitched in and helped last week at the Money:Tech conference -- and his column in yesterday's FT is another reason why.

OPTIONS IN THE MEDIA…
It pays to be a contrarian. You need to look no further than two great college football coaches. Don’t be afraid to go against the grain in decision making as long as you have the courage in your convictions as a leader and the personnel to fit your system. You can become the Paul Johnson or Urban Meyer of your industry.

Whistle blowing. While some may view it as “snitching”, others may view it as bravery and a dedication to proper ethics. In this issue of Astronology, we take a look at the importance of whistle blowing, along with the positive and negative benefits from it.
Addition by Subtraction
We have all been on a team that is stopped in its tracks because of one individual who habitually brings up tangent issues or takes a contrarian stand on nearly every topic.
