This Is True
Honorary Unsubscribe
This Is True!
If you don't already read "This Is True", you need to start.
But keep an open mind. He really makes you think.
It's going to bother you when he picks on your sacred cow, but he accurately picks on all of them.
I strongly recommend you subscribe to his Free Weekly Newsletter.
There is no SPAM, EVER!
At This Is True there is an 'Honorary Unsubscribe,' to remember the unsung hero's out there, people who's death went otherwise unnoticed.
It is always great. I'm going to quote Randy's first paragraph about how this came about.
"Early in 1998, This is True author Randy Cassingham was distressed to see that not only had actor Jack Lord died, but that his death was virtually ignored in the mainstream media. Wanting to honor him somehow in his online column, Randy came up with the idea of an "honorary unsubscribe" -- symbolically deleting Lord from the This is True online distribution list. (Randy had no way of knowing if Lord actually was a subscriber, since it's virtually impossible to positively identify someone by their e-mail address alone.) Reaction was immediate: True's readers loved the honor, so now someone is honored almost every week in This is True's online mailing."
First off, though, get This Is True!
It's free!* and well worth it, too!
*(I actually recommend that you don't waste your time with the free version, just get the paid version right off the bat!
Fair Notice: I have no connection to This Is True except for being a paid subscriber myself, and I gain nothing from this recommendation, OK?)
He always gives you a really good synopsis of a person who has helped shape our world in a major way, yet you've probably never heard of this person.
George Heilmeier is this weeks Honorary Unsubscribe.He's the man who was once introduced at a technology conference as a man “with so much brainpower, he has to register it as excess baggage.” He's the man who discovered the liquid crystal properties that we use to make liquid crystal displays, LCD's, that replaced all the old-time CRT's. In the 70's he even rose to become head of DARPA. In 1977 he returned to private industry becoming head of TI, (Texas Instruments,) and several other tech companies, and eventually consulted with Clinton, helping to set the standards of what became the internet today.
He was also known for what became known as Heilmeiers Catechism which is a set of questions that anyone proposing a research project or product development should be able to answer. Sounds pretty good for businessmen, too or anyone else actually trying to accomplish what they claim.
