Like to write that the web solved the information distribution problem. Seems simple enough, as for instance these words will go global--when I post. For now am watching them with interest as they march across the screen. Their reality is local only in the moment, with a transition to globally available but a click away.
But so much was distributed different before, so yes, there were wars, like over how to distribute music and especially popular songs. Wars against innovation that have very much ended, or simply evolved? Yes, I can download much with a buy now, but so much more do I want the opportunity.
But why would anyone stop me?
And what does distribution of information have to do with ride share really?
I think business at best is about producing a socially acceptable product or service and getting to a person or persons who want who repay the favor of the product or service with remuneration.
That is, like you build something cool that people want and they buy it from you.
Or maybe even not cool, but simply useful, but still you need people to actually pay for the thing, for a viable business.
But how do they even know you have it?
There then we get the modern wars over information distribution I think, as I contemplate these ideas and wonder. Am I even close to reality? But how would I know?
And have been focused more lately on the phrase--business trust.
Like I go to some established business and trust that if I can pay, will not only be allowed to buy something I want, but should be treated a certain way, like a good customer. And a customer is someone with the ability to pay, which means person has sufficient money, and should behave, in a socially acceptable way.
Is so much about society. But what is society really? How do we know?
Where quality I think is about lasting, and prefer things that will not only do what I want in the moment, but be there for me down the line. But then I think of food, where is quality with something so ephemeral in a way? I eat it and it is gone. But then again, there are memorable meals when I remember why I will pay more when I can, for better.
Memories can last a lifetime. Quality in life is not about the moment then? But how do we know what will last before it has lasted for us?
Web can have a depth to its information distributed. People can build a history here, there and everywhere that the web reaches and increasingly I do believe reaches a planet.
Yet I can only know so much. Others can know more useful to me, especially about quality of some product or service, but how do I know who I can trust?
Payment intermediaries I like to call those who with expertise can facilitate connecting a person who wants something, who is a good potential customer, with an entity that can provide that something, if yeah, is socially acceptable.
So yeah I think it DOES make sense. Then functionally the web eases the information distribution problem, which means there can be wars with those who were successful in a less efficient process. Where the web can better facilitate business transaction by effectively linking good customers with best business.
Yeah seems simple enough then. Makes sense to me. So then with just a click, goes global.
More information--distributed. But is it knowledge? I like think it was, or what is the point of the effort for me?

Learning public folks easier now
Put up LOTS public where have done for decades. And more and more news is showing why is good to try and figure yourself out early, and post like you expect readers--now and in the future.
Some key posts focusing on various things:
Focus on my motivations -- When truth is a pursuit
Focus on how to know folks -- Web depth
Focus on global reality -- What global takes and gives
Learning public folks in the age of the web? Is lots about what each puts out there.
I put out much. More and more when I come across some public person in our times, am looking for that web reality. You can do it, right? So what DO you do in actuality?
Web enabled? Oh yeah. So who takes that opportunity and in what way? Tells much.

Who makes me? Can I make you? Nah.
There is an objective reality to attention in our times have learned is where need to focus. For over a decade searched for mainstream mass marketing type measures where were not there, and did not fully appreciate the audience that made me global in their own way.
Where was pondering recently the role of promotion and marketing and who makes or breaks you out here on the web and reality is--YOU. You make or break with your content as put your best out there and trust other people to be honest with their interest.
For me were questions about who talked my things which remain, and money is just not there, yet. And I think is best thing ever now as pushed me to learn what things really matter and also let me not ask myself--did this particular person or organization make me?
Like I will talk things that feel like are cool and people think are doing great and putting out great content, but cannot make or break any one of them. Just like no one could make or break me.
Can share honestly and trust the audience. And appreciate when others agree.
On any stage in life though YOU have to perform. I don't care who talks you up, or down, when you're in front of that audience is all about what YOU can deliver.
With that said get a kick out of noticing how often can get it right, and notice some person or people who I think can bring it, and then they DO. But yeah is like with myself, no one makes me.
I make myself.

Where is my celebrity? Should I know?
Realized years ago there was plus to having money so separate from my web activities as allowed me to learn as much as possible, without the pressures around occupation. To make money you obligate yourself in some way. Like for data entry I was expected to show up during the workweek to my job and do data entry among other things. But when learning can be hard to set proper expectations.
Also made it much more fascinating for me, as studied those web analytics showing such steady attention. Where reality is, was learning, and now with more than two decades of experience on the web, there is a realization know much as a result.
And was all separate from money.
There are two primary ways I get global attention: from cast off from my ideas which draw the bulk of attention, and from the conversation around things I put out there.
The conversation is where there is the possibility of celebrity, where for a long time I would claim to have none, as was unaware of conversation. Then admitted I probably had a little, and finally accepted I don't know. What I DO know is a lack of chatter from sources I've checked, where focused in areas really that dominated in the 20th century. Now am wondering how to check elsewhere.
But yeah, by various measures, have things that pull from 100+ countries every year where that has been true for around a decade.
(What does it take to interest people all over the world? Year after year after year? Guess I should know, eh?)
Can I simply give myself celebrity? Maybe to some extent, but I debate reasons where only one can muster is to make money from it. Even then would need money people as I like to call them. And would be pressured then to do things, like show up.
My attention reality regardless is really cool too though, of course. And is curious to ponder how can gather so much attention one way, without all of certain other. Readily admit, if up to me, would just as soon keep it that way. Is so weird though too. Celebrity IS just the conversation, and nothing else. If you don't have people chattering away, a certain way about you, then you escape many things.
However, cannot simply work to learn without ever putting into practice. And would like to make money. There are goals that are out of reach until I do, and is a good thing for society as well.
My own estimate is that the US economy has lost...too soon to do that yet. Because the situation is delicate. Ok yeah, inspired by cool lyrics from a certain person. I DO study celebrity. And study celebrities.
Watching them I consider my choices and decisions.
How many people get the luxury even without money of possibly simply...yet I keep wondering. Still there is progress. My caution is not stopping anything. Just am moving slowly, like a person on a frozen pond finally getting a sense where the ice is solid.
Or this post would not be published.

Explaining jstevh handle
Am in my late forties and have reached a point of appreciation for how the web can make you feel like you are back in school, struggling to learn. And have used this blog to talk much problem solving of me trying to figure things out. But also am lucky in that there were notions that occurred to me early that I feel now were great.
Like decided to build a handle from my name and back then was going to be part of branding as that was en vogue. But now is more practically a way for ME and others to keep up with things. Where primarily is good for social media.
And made handle jstevh from my name: James STEVen Harris
So I pronounce like: Jay-Steve-H
So why the emphasis on my middle-name? Well here is a post that explains how I grew up called by my middle-name. Which I always think of as very much a Georgia-thing. But I guess actually happens lots of places. Though am confident is a known Southern kind of thing along with nicknames, like Billy-Bob.
But now most people call me James, which is kind of interesting. And yeah, a few people call me Jim.
Except back home, and oddly enough with some co-workers who knew me as Steve in San Francisco, but I talk all that in the post.
Oh yeah, so turns out worked out with the web, and am glad started putting that handle on a lot of my social media.
So yeah, there is a method there, and am glad had that good idea early, versus so much had to learn and STILL am learning. The web is still in flux, changing rapidly and ADVANCING in so many ways. Is one of the coolest periods in human history, ever, am sure.
We get to be part of the evolution of one of the greatest arenas in human thought and communication.

Possibility of web help and my experience
Web has helped me greatly, where like here can definitely use to talk my story, and share ideas! Where have noted been greatly puzzled there. Like can share ideas I think are beneficial, and witness good effects, and then there is not other things that I thought would happen.
Has been like that for around twenty years.
Early on was talking math primarily with my dream of dismissing racist notions MYSELF with mathematical discovery.
Where now fully believe had the result I needed--in 1996.
And as is typical of people who can make such discoveries in math, kept piling on.
Including making much bigger ones, like discovering that math can do algebra itself--and better than us! Where that was shown with an improvement on an approach from Carl Gauss, one of the greatest mathematicians of all.
Where didn't actually have to do most of the work there as the math did it for me. And can do it for anybody, who understands the basic techniques in the advance. And I discovered that September 2008.
Well shared on the web. Got plenty of attention apparently where learned through Google Analytics primarily at first. But where was the rest? Like where was the press?
Well looks like I discovered there are things we thought were one way, were really another.
At least web and doing other things, like deliberately did karaoke, allowed me to safely learn rules of attention including global ones. Web for the global ones, and karaoke for the experience of fans jumping up and down and screaming name. So I didn't exactly miss out. And yes, apparently at times people recognize me, and no do not want a celebrity experience there. Let's keep it cool like now, ok? Still there is value for others with a proper recognition, as my story is so much about--merit rules.
With the social disruption of the web helping to reveal how things REALLY worked, things are actually so cool now in many ways.
Like check out US box office, where thankfully the facts rule. Are seeing massive disruptions with major productions going down in flames and supposed rules of the past upended completely with the actual hits. Pay close attention I think to where you can check with facts, so know are seeing REAL success. When I see what seemed more typical of the past? I think, check for the money. And I TOLD you here my functional definition of entertainment was about helping the entertainment industry.
Where my functional ideas are just part of the social disruption.
The primary? YOU, me and people like us, if you watch movies, who are talking, through the web. Where yeah much of that is through social media.
No longer can certain people MAKE a movie a success just by promotion, primarily through television and relying on enough early box office to build momentum for a movie that may be trash.
In our times, people talk movies out of the gate, where that can be considered by others globally, so more merit can rule, and audiences regain their power.
And MAYBE we can finally map out the people behind the scenes who had a contempt for us before, as they manipulated, and created an illusion--of success. What price to pay for those who bowed before them?
Trappings of success--celebrity, wealth, and what they called fame, but what is fame? Really?
My story now moves to that phase where we ponder how? How could you work to suppress some of the greatest intellectual discoveries in human history? And for goodness sake, why even would you try? What kind of person or people could do such a thing?
Am SO curious on that one, not surprisingly. And yup, you are part of getting the answer, which is why am sharing here. After all, we were all treated badly, together. In a system that I think was about making sure that most people could never get to the heights of success--without going through gatekeepers.
And we've learned some of them were sexual predators.
How often were predators merely picking those who we were to think were successful? And with what price for them? Is scary to ponder, eh? But yeah if full force such a system would hate merit rules. Is not necessarily the case was in place. Am admittedly speculating as search for answers to my own story.
Yet I DO wonder. Discovery is one of the greatest merit arenas our species has. Major discoveries have fueled human progress for so long. What humans could finally find the keys to such blocking on this scale and for so long? They intrigue me with their efficacy.
These are people who apparently wanted to be certain your merit? Does not matter. So they could be the ultimate gatekeepers, hidden in the shadows? Maybe. Maybe not.
Our world will figure out, am sure as is just too curious. How was it done? How is it being continued?
Inquiring minds do need to understand, by whom, and why.

Value, market and the web
My view has long been that the web gives you the benefit of easy, wide distribution of information, which for an information product or service should be great! However, of course with such easy also there is more competition, which I also think is great, for consumers, as long as people can find best quality.
Web authority helps there greatly which for most is simply search!
Much to help then in producing great business for information on the web, but where is it?
Considering things as typical on the web now, still appears that money is being used more to try and capture people's attention with an endless war of trying to push ads with mass market approach, which people naturally endlessly try to avoid.
Yet the web has the potential for so much smarter.
Also with my own things have the oddity of global attention in a community way, which has been so separate from money, am finding have to talk it--and solve the problem.
So what is going on?
Well let's say I have a product which primarily involves information, like software or a picture, or a movie, and I want to let people determine quality and pay me if they think is a quality product, how can they?
Relentlessly global systems on the web do NOT give people the ability to pay after determining quality first.
Yet people do that all the time--for purchases made off the web. They even use the web to help check and to help find quality things, to go buy something like at a store.
Where that is so obvious am more and more suspicious.
Who are the people helped by the system as it stands? Money people and people with big corporations where more and more are working to dominate the web.
Where the web can simply push back. Web can destroy any corporation with its current level of power and is getting stronger. Or less dramatically, customers can rapidly find out the truth through the web, and what business can survive if bulk of its customers abandon it?
Like consider movie industry in my country, discovering can no longer rely on made-up arbitrary rules for movies, but needs to make movies audiences actually want. Because social media helps us know.
The marketplace of ideas is coming am sure. But lots of financial misery too often in the meantime for people with quality products and services who try to rely on web primarily now, as keep finding are forced to money people, who try to exploit them ruthlessly from what I've noticed.
The worst, in my opinion, of the money people work to turn those they control to a telemarketer mentality--pushing relentless promotion in demands for attention BEGGING people to pay them for things, or threatening them if they do not PAY UP.
That does not lead to great business experience. And again, notice where can find such business behavior OFF the web, eh? Like where. Will ponder and maybe update. Probably some huckster zone.
Is interesting, so I study. And THAT is the full explanation. The web has the potential but the frameworks have to be established so that once you figure out quality of a product or service FIRST on the web THEN you can pay the person who actually is providing.

Some excess ideas
Over two decades ago was excited with a simple idea for computing device security. These computing devices tell time with extreme accuracy which I know from experience programming some of them, so came up with a system of dynamic passwords traded just between them based on past connection times. Idea at the time was for cellphones to log onto networks with a constantly changing password to counteract phone cloning.
Have talked story before about frustration getting a patent. And got so upset with system for a time was advocating for vast changes. Am more mollified now, though at one point was putting up ideas I said to get ahead of patents being done. I'd just put them up like here on my blog deliberately to get ahead of innovation at major corporations. At first the US had a first to discover system. But then US switched to a first to file system, and so I kind of shrugged.
Didn't really matter for me.
My focus for years was on mathematical discovery and got other as part of a wind down process. Like my open source software for Java developers called Class Viewer was a result of me wanting something else, back in 2004, where was easier to feel concrete validation. Math is more solid though actually. We're just communal creatures is all.
Is like you're putting maximum effort into figuring out one thing, and to cool down here and there will generate ideas in other areas. And thankfully that is over, as wound down doing mathematical research, so these other types of ideas thankfully vanished, I think.
And still do problem solve but is more focused now, and more practical! Like me needing to figure out how to make money. Just generating ideas for the sake of doing it, or to relax? Can't justify such activity to myself any more.
Sometimes ideas just come to me though. And at times you can't fight them off. Is like they hunt for you, versus how used to be, when I'd hunt for them with SO much energy.
Another involved how to highlight, copy and click on links in a rich text image, which is the kind you see on social media routinely versus flat text. And will link to a post where talked on my G+ account recently about how tweeted at Twitter nearly two years ago.
For me excess ideas were more ways to relax a bit from the hard thinking. And reality more evident in our times is that so much hard is in getting something implemented. Like so much social media is actually simple in concept, but having that useful for people all over the world? Is the hard part.
Is debatable what could have done regardless with, if HAD received a patent for a time-based dynamic machine use password generation system. Still have the idea to talk.
My view with my own intellectual property is that it is more likely to be freely shared, especially work already done. Which is because was working on discovery so much. Other thing is: would just like to see these things.
Like would LOVE to be able to copy text out of rich text or click on a link.
And would appreciate more dynamic web security from devices creating their own passwords for each other each time they connect. Plus other things have given away in ideas I think of as excess.
Just talked some excess idea things in this post. Have plenty more kind of scattered all over on various things have public.
These ideas are just free.

Sometimes ideas just come to me though. And at times you can't fight them off. Is like they hunt for you, versus how used to be, when I'd hunt for them with SO much energy.
Another involved how to highlight, copy and click on links in a rich text image, which is the kind you see on social media routinely versus flat text. And will link to a post where talked on my G+ account recently about how tweeted at Twitter nearly two years ago.
For me excess ideas were more ways to relax a bit from the hard thinking. And reality more evident in our times is that so much hard is in getting something implemented. Like so much social media is actually simple in concept, but having that useful for people all over the world? Is the hard part.
Is debatable what could have done regardless with, if HAD received a patent for a time-based dynamic machine use password generation system. Still have the idea to talk.
My view with my own intellectual property is that it is more likely to be freely shared, especially work already done. Which is because was working on discovery so much. Other thing is: would just like to see these things.
Like would LOVE to be able to copy text out of rich text or click on a link.
And would appreciate more dynamic web security from devices creating their own passwords for each other each time they connect. Plus other things have given away in ideas I think of as excess.
Just talked some excess idea things in this post. Have plenty more kind of scattered all over on various things have public.
These ideas are just free.

Beyond year of explanation
Spent a lot of time this year trying to explain myself, to others and to myself really. Seems like a good idea to make a post which tries to simplify and get it all together.
Main point is have ideas, lots of ideas. Some of those are math ideas, and when was 26 had a math thing which should have made me world famous. Math people didn't accept it though, one guy said was, too simple. Being of a certain type though, I simply persevered, piling up major discoveries and now over 20 years later have more math discoveries than keep up with easily. The math people are entrenched, and I insult them a lot about it, as am shocked by their betrayal of the human species.
Feel like I ended up in an odd intellectual war, where none should have been.
Otherwise, I branched out, like finding my own definition of science, which works better than any other, so I could help people believe in climate change. And THEN giddy with having this thing, came up with a simple way to define entertainment, as why not? I LIKE entertainment.
And I unleashed my definition of entertainment as a way to safely control mood, on the world, and have been looking to see what happened.
The press has been clueless. They listen to establishment people like those math people I insult a lot, and they all get diminished as I raise reasonable doubt about their competency around the globe. I got that kind of ability. Is SO cool. They are fated to fall much. Makes history more interesting will admit.
The press is too important for them not to be properly trained. Painful lessons unfortunately may be only ones that will work. Wishing for a better way does not make one appear.
There is an iconoclastic aspect to my attitudes, in contradiction to the discovery which can inflict me potentially as an icon, on those trained by a 20th century world insisting on dismissing me--as 21st century learns how to present me. And I learn how to live with it.
And yet I'm POTENTIALLY known all over the world. Making me one of the most influential humans who is underreported in all of human history. I am unique. Apparently that slot was still available in human history.
As a 21st century discoverer, I break the molds of the past, as I work to define, and find a better framework but for what future?
Enabled much by the web, great thing is web enables others also to check me on EVERYTHING, and be along for the fun. Definitely my story allows you to check so many people, on so many things.
My ideas help our world in so many ways, am sure. But how do I know?
Which I think is very cool. But have struggled as a result of much with making money, so am working on that.
Still kind of a long post, maybe. So hard to really get to just the essence that matters.

Ask and answer, myself
My situation is weird enough have a global readership without a global press interested enough to ask me pertinent questions, so figured may as well go meta again, and ask and answer questions I think others might wonder. Being press with myself? Ok, will try.
1. Why do you post?
Usually am posting to share information think is important for a particular audience. As main blogs have been around for over a decade there is kind of a long conversation going in a sense.
2. What makes you think your posts do anything valuable?
Generally am looking at some kind of objective measure where long ago discovered was not getting expected ones much. So got creative. Look over a lot of things where do not explain to check if a post reached desired audience. Since am not into the mass market that may look a different way to others.
3. You sound so confident often, are you trying to convince people you're successful?
Not trying to convince as have worked more to accept my ongoing audience, which presumably understands my successes. And have focused less and less on mass market approaches.
4. Sounds like you have a disdain for the mass market, why is that?
Old view from television most successfully was that you could reach a mass market effectively, like most of the country watching sports on Sunday, which is still true to some extent. My focus is niche. Am looking at people interested in particular things, versus say, talking to entire United States.
But also my readership is global. So mass market for me would be billions of people with that reach, which would be scary to have anyway. Prefer things as they are: focused on people interested, all over the world.
5. Why are you not covered by the press if your ideas are so important?
You, me pretending to be press person, ask great questions! If I say so myself, and my best guess is that the press is still 20th century focused on establishment institutions and yup, mass market metrics. That is, measures which indicate ability to do well in the mass market, already talked.
While people like me, with global reach that is more fragmented, don't register with them as worth reporting on. Which will change am sure, as world adjusts to the web. Good question, me.
6. Do you really think this question and answer with yourself will impress anyone or just seem weird?
Um, that is not the kind of question for which I have a good answer self. Think we're about done.
7. Ok, ok, last question. Any plans for Halloween?
Wow, I really took this pretending to be a press person too far. Um, no. You know that too! You're me! Just being mean. Am in a lonely period spending WAY TOO much time on web. Is ok.
Oh, oh, ok. Um, thanks for your time. You're welcome, me.
That was silly fun. Threw in a bit for Halloween too, as why not. Does amaze me though, how often interviews go random that way.

My methods with moods and science
Really feel good about locking certain things down, where for me has been life changing, and worth it to talk out how that works. One of the most profound hypotheses have had, was that authority relative to one entity is when some other entity has information needed. Which was just stunning for me, as realized for a LONG time had been seeking approval from some authority with my own ideas.
And relying on that word hypothesis, as decided to explain things a bit differently, like when I suggested over two years ago that entertainment was a way to safely control mood? Was a hypothesis.
With THAT could start looking at myself and others to determine if fit with it, or if needed to be adjusted or dismissed based on real world evidence.
Importantly considering whether or not people use entertainment to safely control mood, could lead to what I like to call predictive certainty, like how you have a good idea when you flip a light switch, whether it will come on or not. And if it doesn't, can probably figure out why.
So yeah, was working on a science of entertainment, and no, when I put ideas like that out, am not certain at THAT point, but am checking relying on a simple meta process:
Introduce a better idea, and expect people to choose better.
That thing is rather cool, as it has multiple meanings. Will pick one and note that with entertainment hypothesis, figured that people, including myself, could choose better with their entertainment! And yeah, have with mine, which was so epic. For the first time in my life, felt a great sense of control, when could pick better for my moods versus do the equivalent of channel surfing, which had learned before which was a LOT more hit or miss. Often? Mostly miss.
Now can often figure out my mood and go get the entertainment I want, like when mood is for a space epic. Yeah wanting to escape into the depths of deep space? Lots of emotions can fuel that mood. But also can realize not enough at quality I like, and wish for more. (More great space epics please, entertainment industry.)
Therefore, my secondary hypothesis was that pickier people would start pushing entertainment industry, and that earlier established processes might resist! Which would lead to collapse of revenue in those areas, EXCEPT for those who delivered. Quality entertainment would still work, of course. Give people what they want and why wouldn't they want to get it?
And with movies is just one area, but a highly visible one.
Which steps through my meta process, yet again, where this time have used a more traditional word, noting that ideas presented are often hypotheses and the presentation itself is part of the process, where then I can just check what happens, in the real world.
And better is better. I like using phrases that are tautologies. So yeah, is better IF the hypothesis is correct to know what you're doing in selecting entertainment, and as YOU choose better, and people around you choose better, you not only find greater sense of fulfillment from that entertainment, you pressure entertainment industry, to DO better.
Which I think is great. And that completes this discussion of my meta process, how what I do is a science, includes some of predictive certainty, but focuses more on the benefits of better.

Creativity and finding solid ground
Yesterday found myself in a creative mood and brainstormed a television idea and had here at first, but FINALLY am sticking with saying not just giving away, so realized should be on my blog Seriously Commercial. Before Saturday was a free day there, as it has a day based format, so decided to label as Saturday Creative.
So yeah that makes sense! And thought would give some info for people who saw and wondered where it went.
Feel like have done a lot of work to get to a system that gives me flexibility to put out my various ideas and be creative in the right places. So really glad now established a blog for commercial things, as creativity can just come at you, rapidly. In the past have had blog posts which simply disappeared as realized didn't really fit overall direction of a blog, and had no place else for them.
For those who wonder have sense of solid ground now with my process of putting out ideas. I like to write, enjoy the creative process, and make no pretensions about how speculative I try to be. I'm pushing the limits of what I think I know and took up label of meta innovator, which is a challenging label.
But like, I've invented my own mathematical discipline, found my own way to count prime numbers, defined mathematical proof functionally, and functionally defined science and also entertainment, among other things. And I really like to have fun. I think I live up to the label, meta innovator.
So yeah, when I was a kid, really liked hanging out in the library. Of course. Love that as a fitting seemingly non sequitur.

My attention reality and commerce musings
The idea that where people direct attention can be related to commerce isn't at all new. While I've enjoyed for quite some time what I recognized as a sharing reality with what I put up public. Which here continues. But I finally decided to try and go commercial with a blog which is in the process, which I decided to call Seriously Commercial so I'd stay focused.
But I can't just set out to do things like they've been done, as for one thing I think that's less effective and also, it makes me feel uncomfortable. For instance I've noted that I don't get paid to talk anything, and have a position that if that changes I would inform where I put a page on Seriously Commercial to keep up with such things. Now of course notes no paid endorsements.
To some extent it feels odd to note such things but then again I do talk about global reach which potentially could be used for moneymaking purposes, I'd think. Have thought such things before! And finally interested enough to work at it a bit.
However, I believe that directing attention works best if done best as great referral.
Which to me is a very different way from like, a television show which will take ads with whatever system they use for picking them and I don't know. Do know have seen plenty of commercials where am like, oh no.
There are areas where I've focused more objectively like noting areas where I have measures from others showing interest, various things I've done have pulled from quite a few countries. It makes sense that with that information I have some ideas about what it takes to interest my fellow human beings all over planet Earth. So kind of convoluted.
Well at least that seems logical to me!
So yeah, I haven't done anything paid to direct attention, and created a blog to handle that kind of thing, which means other areas like here remain free to just do like I've been doing. Will note that am thinking of my Facebook page as a place to support the commercial blog, so it links to it.
To me it's really cool as to be someone who has demonstrated can get global attention for over a decade who has been very careful to be very wary on the money-side is comforting to me now.
SO many convoluted sentences in this post! But subject area makes me way uncomfortable.
My focus on sharing information as I have has been pragmatic to me.
And more than likely? Is how I got to learn so much. If I had been money focused earlier it's probable that would have changed lots and even now am not really money focused as sharing interesting things is so much more fun.

When other people are required
There are three areas where I can focus simply, to talk some of the problems I need to solve, where yeah, other people are required for certain things to happen. Like I note I found some math, and yes, you can search to find it with: some math
Still would need some mathematical experts for things to MOVE. Like imagine a reporter wanted to do a story. There's no story there. Just some guy noting he found some math. BUT a couple of mathematicians chime in? How about two or three leading mathematicians? THEN the reporter would have a story, and it'd be a giant one.
And I made up my own functional definition of science. I claim it can explain science, tell you when someone is doing science or not without you needing expertise, and...um, so what? Just me talking. But get a couple of scientists? See? Have a consortium of scientists excitedly talking about this thing, and yup, you have a news story that could lead on papers around the globe.
So why won't they? Who cares. Main thing is I've went down that road somewhat and found doors closed. But I say, who needs those people? Um, ok if I want anything to MOVE with those prior two things, I do. But what if I can just move on?
So we reach entertainment and something fascinating happens, I do NOT need experts.
One of my recent posts sets forth a science of entertainment, which may seem esoteric. If you want an example and are sci-fi motivated you can read my analysis of the BattleStar Galactica reboot to see some early work before I even decided really was a science. Or read me discussing what I call the mood line.
My functional definition of entertainment has the unique ability of helping you understand what entertains you and others, better.
It also lets me deconstruct entertainment including current entertainment which I do NOT do publicly in general, as it can ruin it for some people. Like I watch a movie or a television show I'm often analyzing why it is entertaining. I can even see mistakes as they happen that mess up the mood line. And can see areas of improvement, on the fly.
But like do you REALLY want to know why you're so fascinated by zombies (if you are)? Or why people in capes are interesting? Or how that drama really pulls those emotions from you? I do. Most don't I'm sure.
Good news is that understanding the 'why' of entertainment doesn't mess things up, as it just focuses on YOUR mood, if I'm correct!
But unlike with my work in mathematics or my functional ideas about science, with entertainment I simply need YOU.
I prefer to be entertained anyway. And if my ideas are correct?
The entire world can be better entertained. I find the very idea exciting. Sure world can use math things and science is kind of important but those things take time and in the meantime, I like to have fun. And if I can help a world, why not?
And been working on it for a little while now. Have you noticed the difference yet?
Yeah, sounds kind of, um wacky. Sometimes feel kind of pulled along by my ideas. As yeah, if I can define science which is a big one, then why can't I define a science of entertainment? It's like it seems straightforward then I think implications if correct, then kind of tell myself to stop thinking of such things to control the shaking, or the nausea. I like the shaking better than the nausea.
But yeah can't get ANYWHERE with those other things unless certain experts will support my ideas. And I have some big things that are over a decade old. One is over twenty. Other thing with support from experts is sharing the sense of responsibility. Like hey, not just me with these things. Got other people on the hook too!
The web supports me NOW though, but we're still in transition. In time web authority will be enough.
It is so new but is actually better support for a lot of reasons.
However, I can shift easily enough. And with a global reach? Yeah, I can impact the world of entertainment and it IS fun, and it IS a service, to the globe.
Yeah still sounds wacky. Not feeling nausea though which is good.
Well those are things I tell myself. What would YOU do with global reach?
Besides gives me back a sense of opportunity. Waiting on other people is a pain. And understanding entertainment is win-win. Will admit enjoy entertainment much more now. Even though I tend to analyze much. But that's just part of who I am.

Must make marketing cool
Years ago used to really upset myself with things like the country counts as didn't understand how could be read all over the globe without it being more of a big deal. So I figured it out and realized that I have had more of a community focus for some time. And also I do NOT like being wrong and especially don't want to lead others down wrong paths.
Which means I present my speculative ideas as what they are, speculative. And appreciate the attention from web analytics while also appreciating less distance to fall if something turns out to be crap.
So was really important for me to stop doing my own new research! And then could start pondering how maybe to shift from just this global community perspective where I give ideas away without looking for anything more than interest to something else.
Which is why I created a new blog to focus on commercial. And I called it, um, Seriously Commercial.
THAT blog unlike anything else I have has one purpose. And to make sure I didn't forget, yeah, I put that in the name.
Only thing is am now pondering more how to do the commercial more as for over a year has been me posting, without having any commercial thing really established which is about building an audience first.
But how do I make marketing cool? Thinking blog will leverage my ability to get attention, and according to Google Analytics it already had visits from 58 countries. So from the stats available, yeah, should be able to deliver a global audience to someone looking to reach one, commercially.
Which has me back to this blog to do problem solving. Can't figure it out on the blog in progress so here will probably be the one to work it all out, as my other two blogs focus differently. Only Beyond Mundane can comfortably work on this particular problem without it looking weird, I think.
So to start I need something cool enough to be able to put a blog post about it on Seriously Commercial to promote that something with enough global intrinsic to it for around 50 countries, where that something is up to my standards. And is a great referral.
I have total control. So I can do what I want and not do what I don't want. And to me great referral is the best standard so I can BRAG about anything promotional. So am looking around just pondering. Scanning the globe. Not reaching out to any entities yet or anything like that as I evaluate.
Oh and my other blogs may get into it anyway as they're a team. Haven't all been working together as one visibly for a long time, but hey, is important! Was fun though years ago when they all worked together at times in a very visible way.
Is kind of cool I've missed. When all three blogs work in concert kind of, well, if it happens will be very interesting I know from experience.

No pain, great gain
The idea that change makes pain, isn't a wrong one necessarily, but I like to think that best innovations--as innovation means change--can be smoothly part of a person's life in a way that lessens pain or struggle.
Which is a philosophy I like.
But I can also point to what may already be concrete examples for some of you, if you read my functional definition for entertainment? You may be in world's of wonder as you look at things that entertain you, with a functional perspective.
So you can more easily grab hold to more of it!!! More entertainment, better entertainment. With precision as YOU want it! And waste less time with things that just don't quite work.
Like now this sentence will make sense as note that best trailer for a movie gives you the mood for the movie, so you know what to expect and thus are entertained, if the movie delivers that mood! Which is why movie trailers are SO important, and can give you so much in just a few minutes. Ooh. Ah. I'm so impressed with that one.
If you got intrigued by the notion of me getting my own phrase with "short timeline reachable goals" with an important tweak from I think more general usage of phrase "short term", you may be rocking out STRG's and being amazed at how much more you get done. STRG. That could also kind of look like short for STRONG.
I do imagine vast numbers of people all over the world, doing their STRG's and vast waves of accomplishment sweeping the...um, but I digress.
My point is, some of you may have had some HUGE changes in your life, with innovations that work, as they work for you. Where that should have been painless. Well it was for me. Course how do I know for others? And um, ok stopping there with the buzzwords and that special way of talking people do when they want you so impressed and AMAZED with the claims of awesome.
Not that I don't believe what I wrote! But for me, of course is so much feel-good.
What works for others? Well that's YOUR experience. What I can do is guess.
However, philosophy is given! I don't believe in that no pain, no gain nonsense. It turns too many people I think away from things they want to do.
Just maybe in a more innovative way.
Ok. This post is DEFINITELY still marketing and promotion so will be so labeled. Eventually I'll get used to such things so will not make these little asides which are, um, kind of talking to myself really. It is a new way for me, not too painful. Moving from what I saw as research and development, to spreading the word.
Cool.

Goal is innovating to easier
Put up lots of posts which to me are theory or working at problem solving where maybe it's time to talk simply about the point! Which of course is innovating life to easier.
Like I gave advice on how to keep your social media account small, which is just, don't be entertaining. But what's entertaining? Simply enough it's giving people the mood they want. Like they want funny? If you got that you can RULE on your social media account if people are coming for funny. Easy.
And can figure out a "mood" for any social media, like for news? I like to feel informed. Not complicated.
Which means when I go to a social media account if not new to me, I have a vague idea of what mood should have when I view it, and accounts that deliver? Are in the MILLIONS. Accounts that don't but are trying to reach those heights? Are not. Often I see a muddled mess, where you don't know what you're going to feel if you check on these accounts! Except probably frustrated. And who wants that?
Which is a critique could apply to my own, but I'm not here to entertain. But yeah, will admit, now am pondering how to present what I think is useful, in a more entertaining way.
I can try. And with SO many social media accounts do need strategies to cover them all best I can.
My emphasis is on "short timeline reachable goals" where yeah, I OWN that search, as in dominate, because I invented that phrase with just a little tweak. Inventing things is a way to do that. My simpler approach helps you easily focus on getting things done. Every day. Like me!
Simply effective is more fun.
Like I just talked to you about how to grow your social media account ANYWHERE, and what will hold you back. While also explained how to do best time management, if you do that search on MY phrase.
Just a taste of what's actually going on with some of the posts on this blog. It's got lots of posts that give the explanation for the underlying theory. But the actual methods? SO easy to just give.
Shifting gears a bit with this post, so it's more definitely marketing and promotion in my opinion, so labeled. Grunt work is done. Now time to focus more on presentation and the point of it all.
And am going to stop this post here. Because I don't want to overwhelm you.

More into just the human thing
One problem will admit I have with promoting my own ideas is lack of a clear community group identification with any particular area.
Like I have what I claim to be important mathematical ideas but am not a mathematician. And at best have an undergraduate degree in physics, but am not even then considered fully to be a physicist, and besides the physics community doesn't argue out mathematics, usually.
Switch to politics, and I don't really go for pushing some kind of racial thing, tending to mostly avoid race politics, and insist that race doesn't really matter. And I like to note science can't even really define it, so it's mostly a vague notion. So no, not like that would make me a draw for the Black community in the US I don't think. Especially since I think at best race and ethnicity are irrelevant, and instead we need only focus on avenues of opportunity for people to pursue their interests and dreams.
Even when it comes to computer science, nope, no degree there either. Took some courses as a kid, but none as an adult. Even though yeah, took a community course in college at age of 12 on BASIC programming language which some people actually think is cool? But only other course was summer I turned 16 at Duke University as part of their TIP program where learned structured C. Nonetheless worked as a software developer for a couple of years and have still my own app for software developers I call Class Viewer.
But reality am not an obsessive coder, and haven't worked as one in any paying capacity for over a decade. Not that I couldn't probably do it, but it just doesn't appeal to me. So nope, not really a member of the coding community either.
And I could go on. Talk photography or even something I clearly demonstrably enjoy doing much, which is writing. Not any strong community identifications there either. I like to blog, and tweet and other things but not like I really hang with other writers. But then again writers can often be more of the solitary type. While I do like hanging out in bars. But not with other writers. Not that I'd avoid them. But wouldn't exactly seek them out either.
My story to me is a lot about how you can get into a weird kind of limbo when not strongly identifying with any particular racial, ethnic, technical or intellectual community.
If were a mathematician, could hammer at acceptance of my mathematical ideas maybe with allies from within that community. If were a professional coder might just go ahead and have my own software company, and maybe create the next social network. Or could go on with other areas.
Just having so much fun just with the being human thing. Trying different things. Enjoying the wealth of information available, and often kind of shrugging at the idea of getting in deep in some typical way.
Is interesting to me though how much difference it could make if my inclinations were different while in the big picture over time it won't matter much at all. The best ideas really don't need that kind of help. They excite and inspire people who eventually do that community thing. There's no rush.
It's cool.

Considering a naive coding area
One problem I don't think gets addressed enough is how badly some people are educated, especially when it comes to code. And if it is public on the web then yeah, it can reflect on you, so I thought I would help out with a common area which has turned into a pet peeve of mine, and that is when I see implementations of bad prime counting approaches publicly online.
The reason I search on the subject is I figured out over a decade ago a really simple approach to counting prime numbers that tweaked techniques previous known, resulting in a simple iterative summation, which is so simple I can give it in a single line:
With ints or longs--where pj is the jth prime:
P(x,n) = x - 1 - sum for j=1 to n of {P(x/pj,j-1) - (j-1)}
It counts primes when n equals the count of primes up to sqrt(x), so if n is greater than the count of primes up to and including sqrt(x) then n is reset to that count.
For example P(100,4) = 25. You can just code up from the instructions given and verify easily enough. Notice you'd need 4 primes--2, 3, 5 and 7.

For example P(100,4) = 25. You can just code up from the instructions given and verify easily enough. Notice you'd need 4 primes--2, 3, 5 and 7.
And I've posted that before. Actually I post about it a LOT, but am mentioning it now to highlight just how bad it can really be out there. And how often people learn crappy things in coding.
It is the fastest, short prime counting algorithm available on the planet.
The only other things as short are not as fast. The algorithms that are faster are not as short.
I like to call finds of mine that are better than anything else in the world, my toys. I use them to critique what other people do.
Notice it involves extremely basic math, so claiming you're not good at math is not a valid excuse. If you know how to divide and how to throw away remainders then you can comprehend it. Using ints or longs is so the computer will do that throwing the remainder away for you.

And it can be optimized which bored me decades ago as I realized it then just approached the currently known fast prime counting algorithms. I get bored with known. I prefer the unknown.
So if you dare post ANYTHING about counting primes, and I find it, and it is naive, especially the most horrendous which is to just divide a long list of numbers by every prime, then unfortunately I will think less of you, and wherever you got your education.
And I think that worth mentioning to help people who may not realize that yeah, such things might get noticed. I know I notice them. And it is such a preventable thing. Don't post naive coding practices. Just don't.
And I think that worth mentioning to help people who may not realize that yeah, such things might get noticed. I know I notice them. And it is such a preventable thing. Don't post naive coding practices. Just don't.
Oh yeah, if you want to know how fast your code should be if you dare to post prime counting code, I put up a post with a benchmark. That is with somewhat optimized code.
Sorry, just a little bit irritated. And yes, I dutifully worked to get my algorithm widely known, like with what I'm doing here. Keep talking about it, but these things can take a while. But some people labor under the misconception that they actually are learning good things, when they aren't even learning quasi-decent in an advanced world where a lot more is known than you are necessarily being taught.
So yeah, a LOT of the point of this post is to highlight the algorithm. It IS the best in the world as described but I'm having problems getting it properly acknowledged and that's sad. It's a lot more fun to code than anything else for counting prime numbers, especially at the basic level, while being faster than anything else available for its size.
I'm using this example as it's very demonstrative I think.
Is it really an issue if you have some pathetic prime counting code I come across? I don't know. Probably not. But I am being honest, I do see it at times, and just wonder what people are thinking. Or better yet, wish they were being taught better, since better is available.

Why ideas rule
To me ideas are like precious gems that can be easily found on the surface of our reality, or are deeply buried requiring deep mining. But they are indestructible gems, when they are worth anything.
You can try to leverage an idea early, which is ok for small ones, or you can play the long game.
If you play that well enough, then maybe you can find your place in human history, as your best ideas can simply drag you there.
That's my opinion.
