While I was jogging this morning I thought more about an idea I had back in 2004 that keeps coming up in my mind. The idea was about creating a business that brings high-quality video/film production to a mass-market. It was creating the next Kinkos, for video and digital services. It was really prompted by the death of my mother, Carolyn Cooper Salmon. I wanted to create a documentary tribute to her wonderful life. But now, six year later it still hasn't happened. I keep seeing new/better ways to distribute video online and it makes me wonder who is going to capitalize on this. Today I thought about the year 1932 when my mother was born. I thought about the events of that year. I thought about what might have been happening in Nocona, Texas where she was born. I thought about how a business like I've envisioned could create the templates for each of these years that could be added to someone's life story. Then, as usual, my thoughts fell into the many details of copyright law and competing interests...and I finished my run and went to work. Only today while working on my "real job" I decided to write this down here, where nobody will likely see it, but it is recorded. Life goes on. History is made...
