Meet Ulysses Newkirk II,
our resident lunatic and creative director the multi-talented jackass that's supposed to cross the 'I's and dot the 'T's for Imagine Nation's web and print presence. "For the greatest part I'm the idea man around here. After everybody is sure whatever idea I come up with works, they take it, make it their own and run with it. When the idea stops working is when I become a capitalistic tyrant, because people are addicted to success and greatly afraid of failure. I'm avant garde in a way, I fail most of the time, but I take careful notes and do small changes to every concept. Some people feel things cannot be worked out in models, they must be tested in real life situations and that's expensive, so it is best to work with that which is tested, by that time things are inundated or obsolete, demanding new ideas. I sell ideas, but only to the wealthy. To poor people I trade my wears for simple labor. They've got to be made to appreciate whats invested in making something real." Ulysses comes to the table with a full deck of varied and valuable experience in the arts, service industries, alternative energy solutions, future ecologically responsible business options and studies in new media technologies. Things that it is best to get into now if it is your goal to get wealthy in the new five to ten years, in order to get and stay ahead of the seventy five year curve that started with the most recent economic meltdown.
I've been involved in mass media communication, food service and art on some level since the age of 8 or 9. Some how all of these passions had be melded into one something. That something is community owned on line television. Live performances, How to and talk shows, educational community segments and good positive news. When I started chasing this dream, back when the Internet was in its infancy (telephones in a cradle modem) It would've costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to send a tiny, low resolution, pixelated video clip via download to a few people in the whole world. Now we can send high definition video, live to the world for the cost a really good dinner and wine for four. So, the question is: when, well how about now | Delta IX: What U's thinking
