I spoke at the East Lansing Rotary meeting this week. Subject: New Marketing, New World. This was an extemporaneous talk that included a 8 minute video called “Did you know 2.0″ and a Question and Answer session. The talk was 40 minutes and completely free form, so please excuse the many mistakes.

On March 2, 2009 I went to see Richard Dawkins give a lecture at Michigan State University’s Wharton Center.
