VISITING THE WONDERFUL WIZARD, HOWARD A. TULLMAN.
OF IMMENSE INTEREST:
In yesterday’s Blog Exposé about:
VISITING THE WONDERFUL WIZARD, HOWARD A. TULLMAN,
I listed the six (6) URLs of utmost
importance that were center stage in MR. TULLMAN’s Entrepreneurial
Domain. Each was an Entry-Way into which
you (the Reader – Artist – Writer – Inquisitant) could learn more about how to pattern
yourself with regards to your specific concern, crusade, career, job and/or special
passion. This Morning, I luckily
discovered an immensely interesting Article that furthers yesterday’s 6 URLS, namely TRIBECA
FLASHPOINT ACADEMY,
located online at:
http://www.inc.com/magazine/201203/leigh-buchanan/howard-tullman-always-on.html
whose
Tiny URL is: http://tinyurl.com/btd95ft
where, Leigh Buchanan (editor-at-large for Inc. Magazine) stated, (in part):
“…it draws on many of his favorite themes
—technology, pop
culture, education, professionalism—
while refreshing a
tired genre.”
Business & Trend-tracing Magazines like Inc. and Fast Company
are designed to tell us the latest while building and furthering our own Visions
in manners that will brand our Commodity, as the Professionals have and
continue to do.
Although Leigh’s column is 14
months old, it still is ripe and radiates with Info that (as a new, young or
aspiring business person or one changing course and re-inventing his goals) is
highly useful. In Advertising Circles, that term is known as
‘evergreen’ – the equivalent of ‘refreshing and invigorating.’
As Leigh states: “TULLMAN believes training young people to fill tomorrow's jobs is this country's
best shot at reducing unemployment and staying globally competitive. Tomorrow's
jobs, of course, is code for technology, a subject, Tullman argues, traditional
four-year colleges teach poorly because faculty aren't in the field keeping
current and students don't work across departments in interdisciplinary teams,
as happens in the real world.”
I urge you to explore more of MR. TULLMAN’s Ventures. Even reading one-a-day
will provide Insights you may have not contemplated before. Well worth the effort. Again, those six (6) pertinent URLS

VINTAGE TULLMAN. Finding great Photo Coverage of Events around
a City is what adds to the Charm of that location. It adds to the Pulse. It draws more Tourists who want to be part of
that ‘Party.’ Chicago, as the third
largest town in the United States, takes Honors for many reasons. Planet
Hollywood Chicago (a pop culture phenomenon alone) takes a Stand to
introduce its Brand. However, it is when
you mix in ‘The Midwestern Vibe & Mentality,’ add a troop of
lively Celebs and some Camera Shots and Angles, you’ll find that those
Memories won’t soon be forgotten. These
are all captured and captioned online at:

MR. T’s WORDS OF WISDOM
Quotes are needed to sometimes just change our Mindset
when our Focus is blocked, clouded or defrayed.
Cloudy (with no degree of Sunshine) can take its toll, especially on People
who reside in a spot where there are now only 2 Seasons: Winter and Construction. Many times, a good philosophical Jolt like
these three (3) Gems (that deal with ‘Everything’) will instantly make you
forget about the one element none of us can change and that is: The Weather.
1. Everything in life that is worthwhile is
difficult.
2. Everything starts as someone's daydream.
3. Everything in strategy is very simple, but
that does not mean everything is very easy.
MR.
TULLMAN has collected (more
than) Twenty-Six Pages of Quotes that he shares with us online at:

VINTAGE TULLMAN. Into every body’s Day a Lunch Time must
fall. We could argue that in some Countries
where Starvation runs rampant; where Droughts occur or where Nutrition is not
as well-developed as it is in the Western World, people abound who are suffering.
Greatly. Hopefully, those social horrors
will soon be diminished.
Yet something 'Lunchomatic' was happening in the late 1950s, that
would forever change the Course of eating Lunch. Lunches took on a certain Aspect and Flair when BabyBoomers were Kids – before we
‘came of age.’ What became popular in that
Period of ‘growing up’ was the notion of the Lunch Box. Stay-at-home Moms meticulously packed a tasty
lunch for their Kids before they left for school. But getting their Kids to eat that meal was
sometimes hard-to-do unless a really-really cool Lunch Box ‘served up’ that portion.
Therefore, next to Swanson TV Dinners that sold for
less than 39 cents a dinner, what came upon ‘The Scene’ was 'The Lunch Box.’ A Tin with a Thermos that oft-times carried
the left-overs from last night’s supper.
Cool Kids had cool lunch boxes.
Lunch Boxes suddenly became an Industry Favorite. Every Topic – every TV series – every Personality
had their own lunch box.
THE ART AND ACT OF RETENTION: I was
pleasantly surprised to see that MR. TULLMAN has a Lunch Box Collection. Batman – Daniel Boone – Disney – Dick Tracy –
The Green Hornet – Mickey Mouse – Steve Cannon – all boy-oriented. Those Lunch Boxes have come a long ways
(though) since they were manufactured 50+ years ago. Many Collections (as his) are now online.
Online was not even ‘invented’ back in ‘the Day’ before The Beatles and The Stones
hit the ‘Big Time’ with Ed Sullivan. MR. TULLMAN’s Set
has its very own web page at:
http://www.howardtullman.com/art_collections/lunchboxes/index.html
Brandon Hamilton also collects Lunch Boxes. He has 343 of them. That’s almost
one for every Day of the Year – every Lunch of the Year, not counting Leap
Year. His Story (graced by two fab photos) appears at:
http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_15018550
Of particular
interest in this article (penned by Colleen O’Connor of the Denver Post on May
5, 2010 – on Cinqo de Maio) is that:
“The era of children's lunchboxes began in 1949, when the Aladdin Co. put Hopalong Cassidy decals
on traditional lunchboxes. Plastic
replaced metal in 1987, and soon the metal lunchboxes began to take on
museum-collection qualities. Indeed, the Smithsonian has a
collection of vintage pails.”
As Brandon summarizes: “"People will tell stories of the
lunchboxes they had as a kid. It's a
great form of Storytelling."
And, for those of you living in Chicago still thrilled by the Nostalgia that an old Lunch Box conjures, journey up to Cozy’s at 1018 Davis in Evanston, Illinois (a Lunch-Dinner-Carry-Out) whose Collectibles include lots of Lunch Boxes and a Life-size Elvis that make us grow fond(er) for one of Mom’s treats that she place in that Timeless Tin.

MR. T’s WORDS OF WISDOM
Quotes have been replaced by Tweets which are shorter
by far. However, nothing can replace a
great Quote which can really make our Day; set us into Motion to complete a Project
or start a Project or figure out where that Project is to go. And, possibly for those Reasons, others or
maybe not even for any of those Reasons, it’s neat to be able to read those WoW: Words of Wisdom that Mr. T. has gathered
and posted on his multi-faceted Website, particularly at:
http://www.howardtullman.com/wisdom/words_of_wisdom.html
Attempting to
keep to the Theme of today’s TULLMAN
TIMES, three (3) pertinent Quotes apply:
1. A Candle
loses nothing by lighting another Candle.
2. A Career is about taking Risks.
3. A Desk is a dangerous Place from which to watch your Business.

VISITING THE WONDERFUL WIZARD, HOWARD A. TULLMAN.

Who's got the largest PEZ Collection, the Plastic Dispenser
that captures the Sweet ‘n Tart Side of Candy all within One Tab? Would you guess it might be the Smithsonian? PEZ Central located in Orange,
Connecticut? Is it somebody who drives around in a PEZMobile? The Answer may be only a Google search away! Let's
find out and see who holds that Record for Ownership. Ah-Ha.
That Title is shared by several across our Granite Planet, but Chicagoan,
HOWARD A. TULLMAN proudly displays his PEZ Collection online at:
http://www.howardtullman.com/art_collections/pez/index.html
for the World to see.
He has them all lined up in graduated Rows (as if they are in a school
assembly, sitting on bleachers). A Master List (alphabetized) telling who they
all are appears online at:
http://www.howardtullman.com/art_collections/pez/listing.html
Batman,
Garfield, Mickey House, Nintendo, Pluto, Smurf, Spiderman, StarWars, The Truck
Series and the Whistle Series appear to be his Favorites, if
numbers are an instant Indicator of
Popularity. However, Mr. T’s favorite Flavor wasn't divulged. Perhaps
the Favorite and Favored Flavors of all
World Celebrities, Diplomats and Politicians would make for yet another Pop –
make that PEZ – Culture Page on MR. TULLMAN’s Website at:
www.howardtullman.com/
No doubt, the National Confectionery Association ( www.candyusa.com/ ) would be
interested in this Sampling.
OF IMMENSE INTEREST is a Little Known Fact only revealed because of MR. TULLMAN’s
Collection is that: “Back in 1948 (post
World War II), Oscar Uxa designed
the first PEZ Container to resemble a Cigarette Lighter. Using Subliminal
Messaging, this was in order for People to
stop Smoking. A year later, the
Dispenser (minus the Characterization that has made them so unique as they have become today) was introduced to
the Vienna Trade Fair. That Chrono-News
was on the Official PEZ Website at:
www.pez.com/
NEXT QUESTION PLEAZE:
Who’s
eaten the most PEZ in record time? As
Wikipedia tells us:
In the USA
alone, 3 Billion
Candy Bricks are devoured annually.
A Candy with a long History that’s a Toy, a Collectible and a Conversation Piece that isn’t loaded up on sugary non-essential Calories
definitely makes its PREZENTS (that’s: Presence, of
course) known online and off-line, every Time, thanks to the ‘LIKES’ of HOWARD A. TULLMAN and others who’ve taken the Time &
Effort to share them with us.

VINTAGE TULLMAN.
Blogs are different. ‘Vintage’ encompasses those Writings between 7-14
years ago. Any Copy published before 1999
means it is OLD News. History. And for the most part, it is very much outdated. A Dinosaur, at that. Any Compositions (before that Period) mean the
Subject and Topic are obsolete. From that other Century and Millennium.
However, it's interesting to explore and see what ET: EARLY TULLMAN(SHIP) was all about
and his pARTicular Evolution that plays such a vital pART of the Building
of Chicago into 1 of the 3 most cosmo/metropolitan Cities in the Northern
Hemisphere.
After all, what was paved Decades ago has made us what We
(as Societies) are today. That's Evolution in Progress and in the Process of
GT: ‘Getting There.’ Wherever your ‘there’ may or may not be. Pure and simple.
Flashback to MR. T’s earlier Days via his Online
Resume at:
This will inspire every Reader, especially those who
feel that their Options are rapidly dwindling since Corporations are not hiring
them, by stating they are over-qualified. Their Years of Experience should count for
something. This is the Plight of many
BabyBoomers today. After all, it you
want to be successful, you should pattern yourself after someone who sets that
pattern into place. People like HOWARD A. TULLMAN. He’s only a
P&C: Point & Click away from
(being) inspirational.
TO REITERATE: Blogs
are different. Making a Difference can
be difficult as it’s tough to reinvent the Wheel, per se, but you can make a
strong Start by reading his Blog called HINDSIGHT:
on a
daily basis so that you know:
What
the key and buzz Words are;
What
and how a super(b) Marketer does;
Who
the Key Players are;
What
the artistic, educational and financial Trends are; and
What
ART is
the most popular.
“TRACKING TULLMAN” and
thereby making your Career/Niche more edgy is a cinch by reading, following and
educating yourself with people worth admiring.
MR. TULLMAN tops that List.

MR. T’s WORDS OF WISDOM
A 26
Page Print-Out awaits those who visit:
http://www.howardtullman.com/wisdom/words_of_wisdom.html
where Scores of these alphabetized Gems are housed. Most mirror Mr. T.’s Business Acumen while others
are just funny and amusing. All are
true-to-life – seriously, they are. But
if you’re an Affirmation Addict, no need exists to begin printing these off. Destroying a small sapling is cruel and
unusual treatment now that we are in the Digital Age and definitely not the Cool
Thing to do, especially since Earth Day: 2013 falls in 6 days.
Besides, these Quotes are bound to increase. Common Sense tells us so. Picking out our Faves is customary. Three (3) Favorites that surface, dealing with Time include:
“A good Leader knows himself and his Times.”
“All my Possessions for a moment of Time.”
“Control your Time – the Inbox reflects the Priorities
of others. Lead, don’t react.”

ASK’s ANNOUNCEMENT: OPENING STATEMENT: April 16, 2013
We’re
off to see The Wizard, The Wonderful
Wizard of ART. Yes, Robert
E. Hofstadter & I are invited to see ART. Real ART at Tribeca Flashpoint Academy. Envisioned by Howard Tullman. In the heart
of Chicago - near The Picasso. Couldn’t
be in a better locale.
Personally,
we can’t think of a better place to be than to be surrounded by ART.
After all, if you’re not in a World of ART,
you’re nowhere SPECIAL. What happens if you don’t indulge in The
Arts? That’s an interesting and scary point to ponder. We’re thinking that Experience (which we will
soon be embarking upon) should be entitled:
“Low and Behold.”
Please
stay tuned here on my Facebook, Twitter & Blog Accounts for more on that
upcoming ART venture.
ART +
Adventure = ART venture - all coming up on April 25TH.
With
thousands of pieces to report on, and with each Picture telling its own STORY with a STORY
behind the Visual itself, I’ll be
posting a new URL so you, too, can
see what the Community @ Tribeca
Flashpoint Academy has to share with us all. Learning how this ART School
+ Technology merge to mold Chicago as a Break-Out Point for the Gestation of
Bold Ideas is truly an Art on its own.
After
all: "Selling a magic trick,"
says Howard, "is no different from
selling a product or idea."1
