The National Park Service is 98 Today

Here's what's going on at the White House today.         DAILY SNAPSHOT Monday, August 25, 2014             Featured The National Park Service Turns 98 From our spacious skies and fruited plains to our purple mountain majesties, the United States boasts some of the world's most breathtaking natural lands. On August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson created the National Park Service to protect and preserve these lands so people could experience America's historic beauty and heritage for years to come. Today, the National Park Service manages 401 national parks and memorials, which supported 238,000 jobs and pumped more than $26 billion into local economies last year. In fact, for every $1 we invest in our national parks, our economy sees $10 in return. Take a glimpse at what the National Park Service has been working to preserve for 98 years -- then share this with everyone who wants to see more of what makes America so beautiful.       Top Stories Weekly Address: The Export-Import Bank In his weekly address, President Obama highlighted how the U.S. Export-Import Bank is helping American businesses go global while creating jobs here at home. The charter of the Export-Import Bank is slated to expire next month, unless Members of Congress renew it.

Seth's Blog : The idea is not the (only) hard part

 

The idea is not the (only) hard part

In 1989, I created and launched a new idea: videotapes of people playing video games. It was ridiculed by the hipsters of the day, and my publisher later admitted that they hadn't even bothered to bring it to market beyond a few stores. A copycat product went on to sell a few million copies.

Today, Amazon paid a billion dollars for Twitch, which is precisely the same idea, used by millions of people every day. More than a billion hours have been spent/wasted on Twitch to date, I'm guessing.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a commission check.

No, the hard part isn't merely thinking of an idea. Yes, it's hard to sit with a bunch of pre-teens while they record the underlying video, and hard to get it made and hard to get the first one published, the first time.

But the truly hard part is, 25 years later, sticking with it long enough for it to actually work.
