"Surface! Surface"...All hands on deck...

Hope all of you have been well and thanks again for your kind messages regarding my Aunt.. We have been busy in the field of Aviation and I wanted to share a new 90 second inflight movie touring the Skyacht One Aircraft, the project we mentioned about a year ago when it was first published in the Robb Report ultimate gift guide. Since then it has appeared in many magazines and publications and the design has developed with worldwide interest. We now have our own site too. skyachtone.com. This video will premiere publicly at the World SuperYacht Awards in Amsterdam next month, just prior to giving out the grand prize. http://www.skyachtone.com/video/. Hoping to drop a jaw or two...

Not to be left out, Skyacht One is nominated for Best Concept at the International Yacht and Aviation Awards in Venice, Italy 2 weeks later. If you want to participate in voting for Skyacht, you can, and here is the page

and I'd be honored to have your vote. Lots of cool things to vote for and check out. So fun to play in that sandbox! Thanks!

You have my vote, very well done!

I voted, and yeah, I voted for yours. Didn't realize it was one of a few categories though.
You are doing interior design now?

Thank you! We always have done interiors (among other things). Check out sottostudios.com. We call it "experiential design" in that you see things as the guest does, from the music to the textures, a total package. So the exterior of the plane tells a story that sets up the interior. Here's a "making of" Video of the process we used. It's still "storytelling" but in a plane, which is new territory.

Wow the design is amazing, for some reason it makes me think of the old computer game Myst.

Just checking in to say hello and give you an update on what been happening. As you probably know, Imagineering legend Marty Sklar has put out another book with many Imagineers contributing their advice and stories, including me. "One Little Spark" has lots of guidance for those seeking to be Imagineers. You'll enjoy it. http://www.amazon.com/One-Little-Spark-Commandments-Imagineering/dp/1484737636

Other than that I've been writing articles on linkedin. Here's some that you might like. Ciao for now!

I believe LA has essentially been guaranteed a team whether by relocation or expansion by the NFL. The only requirement is a modern stadium. The NFL is desperate to get back into that television market.

College bowl games are not going away, some will be used as vehicles for a small "playoff" system (4 teams?) but the others will remain for the most part. I would not be surprised if the Rose Bowl game moved to this new stadium. Likely one of the venues used for the playoff system. At least on a rotational basis. I wouldn't even be surprised if USC or even UCLA started playing their games there too.

Heh heh!

Written almost three years ago. Proof that I invented the college football playoff system and not that Larry dude. :cool:

And yes that was a backhanded compliment towards the Pac 12 at the end of the quote. :cat:
