I'm in London this week as the guest of the European division of the Crowne Plaza hotel chain. Crowne Plaza is positioning itself as the place where savvy business travelers have their meetings. They've created something called the "Think Box" which contains several of my products including the Creative Whack Pack and the Ball of Whacks. Meeting participants can use these to energize their thinking. It's quite a nice package. Check it out here.
[At left, in the studio.] I did a number of interviews (17) today to promote the Crowne Plaza meeting concept including several with the BBC, The Times, and WebChats.TV. Today was a fun day, and I got to to meet some interesting people.
Looks like you belong in the studio!
Limbaugh and Franken can retire now.

This morning I got stuck in horrible traffic and turned to one of the local radio stations to listen for a traffic report.
AND...
They had a quick report called Something You Should Know. IT WAS YOU!!!!! It made my day.
It was funny it started with "If you can, look for the second right answer." My first thought is I sure hope they acknowledge Roger as the source, and then I had to laugh when they didn't need to.

Karl: glad you enjoyed it. All told, I did something like 22 interviews. I've been seeing a lot of links to articles from all the world that picked up the stories.

Think Box is a brilliant idea. Kudos to Crowne Plaza (and you, of course).
