Here are some of my personal highlights from the '00s: • I Imagined that a Rhombic Triacontahedron could be broken into 30 pyramids. This idea became the Ball of Whacks. I patented it, went to China to manufacture it, and created a company (with Stuart Kaplan, Creative Whack) to market and distribute it. . • I Turned my life-long interest in the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus into a book, (Expect the Unexpected, 2001, Simon & Schuster) and a card deck (Innovative Whack Pack, US Games 2004). • Hachette (Grand Central Publishers) came out with the 25th Anniversary edition of A Whack on the Side of the Head.
. • Attended the Taormina (Sicily) and the Berlin Film Festivals. • Competed in the 2006 FINA World Masters Swimming Championships. Joi Ito's Web. Tompeters! management consulting leadership training development project management. Guy Cribb - INtuition - Professional Windsurfer|## Gapingvoid.
