As it turns out, for any plan to work, every team needs at least one asshole who doesn't give a shit if he or she gets fired or exiled or excommunicated. - David McRaney
It's no secret that I pride myself on being an asshole. I had it described to me once with the comment "You get away with so much shit just because you're Evo." True, but the secret therein lies in David's quote.
On Sunday, I'll share a few more secrets on how you can become a likable asshole just like me!
About Show Up Sundays
For me, Sunday is part work, part relaxation, and part planning for the week ahead. I start early -- or rather I should -- to get the jump on the day.
Care to join me? Each week I'll choose a different theme, talk about that for a bit, and then answer questions you submit during the show. And if you have question now, add it here: http://goo.gl/SWALwi
Grab your mate/coffee/tea and put something on to cover your bed-head, and let's see what happens.

I have no doubt you will all be pleased to hear that I will be doing a Hangout on Air with +Evo Terra this coming Sunday at about 1pm MST (9pm BST).
We'll talk about marketing and see where things lead. I look forward to hearing from you all ;-)

It was a Mikkeller Tap Takeover at Flanny's in Tempe last night. Photo sharing to GPCs was borked at that time, so I'm late.
My lovely wife +Sheila Dee is enjoying a Magnum from their Single Hop Series. Mine is a 20, where they used all twenty hops from the series to make a beer. Gotta admire their commitment!
And the one on the table was my final beer of the evening .Tasty for a 1.4% beer. And yes, I have the decimal in the correct spot.

When he's not trying to get us to Mars, making solar actually work, or producing electric cars that make people like me salivate uncontrollably, +Elon Musk works on Hyperloop.

If I've got this right:
✔ The $6 billion price tag is 1/10th the cost of the proposed California High Speed Rail
✔ $20 one-way tickets are 1/5th the cost of of a ticket on the CHSR
✔ 35-minute transit time is 1/5th the transit time in the CHSR
✔ Cool factor of air bearings literally immeasurable.
Keep in mind that I'm not a [mechanical|electrical|civil|train|genetic|planatary] engineer, so I'm easily swayed by a man who built a private company THAT GOES TO SPACE!
So yeah, #hyperloop sounds great to me! Read all about it, and try not to puke in the comments.
