My hopes for a better world. In no particular order.

It’s May, but it’s never too late for hopes and dreams for a better 2008. So, 5 months late - here are my hopes for the rest of 2008.

I hope that businesses everywhere suddenly stop fearing change.

I hope that…

…people realize ALL relationships are two way.

…someone comes up with a vinyl quality music format that suits the iPod generation.

…and that it’s successful.

I hope that social media realizes that it needs to HELP people make money, like search, so it doesn’t fade away.

…that I never HAVE to sell my paintings.

…everything gets wi-fi, is networked, and I can control them with my 3G iPhone.

…that Apple never loses it’s soul.

…that Microsoft finds it’s soul again.

…someone finally figures out how to create renewable, portable hydrogen and puts it in my car tomorrow.

…Lakers WIN! Lakers WIN!

…next time, someone takes my advice and implements my recommendation WHEN I make it, rather than watch everyone else succeed with a lesser version. Really. It’s getting irritating.

…I never have to see a T-shirt with Tommy Hilfiger all over it.

…I find a copy of Secret Invasion #2.

…my wife gets everything she wants in life.

…spam finally just stops.

…the next president figures out how to make America beautiful again (to someone besides Bill O’Reilly.)

…I find the time to leverage this backlog of inspiration. It’s massive.

I hope that I no longer have to wait to see what’s next.

I hope that I learn patience.
