Hey, I'm Robb Schiller. I am a thinker and a dreamer. Here are a few things I've found interesting and thought you might as well.

Leadership & Buildership

Posted on 14 July, 2010 at 9:06am with no comments

An arti­cle I read a few months back began a think­ing process I’ve been thor­oughly enthralled by. It was writ­ten by Umair Haque and pub­lished in the Har­vard Busi­ness Review last Decem­ber. It’s called The Builders Man­i­festo, and while I don’t nec­es­sar­ily agree with every­thing in the arti­cle, I think the point brings up impor­tant key dif­fer­ences between what we might term in the dif­fer­ences of pio­neer­ing and discipleship.

What(a.)Is Going On? (a.in the world)

Posted on 27 May, 2010 at 8:56am with 2 comments

You have prob­a­bly, most def­i­nitely, been ask­ing your­self some tough and inter­est­ing ques­tions over the last few months, pos­si­bly the greater part of the last year that make your scratch your head in terms of col­lec­tive global gov­ern­ment and our world finan­cial sit­u­a­tion. I do not con­sider myself to be a polit­i­cal guru of any means and want to steer clear of hair-raising con­ver­sa­tions. But inten­tion­ally I just want to share some thoughts and ask a few ques­tions about the fas­ci­nat­ingly inter­est­ing finan­cial mess we seem to have found our­selves in.

Shall we?

Apple’s Marketing Genius

Posted on 25 April, 2010 at 6:11pm with no comments

What do you do when your entire mar­ket­ing strat­egy, built entirely around hype, is 4 years deep in a ever increas­ingly tight mobile device war? When your prod­uct upgrades are annu­ally pre­dictable? When entire mar­ket shares hinge on the devel­op­ments of your com­pany and its device?

If you guessed stage an acci­den­tal unre­leased prod­uct loss at a local bar by an under­paid junior prod­uct assis­tant, you won’t get the job as Apples next chief mar­ket­ing strate­gist. Your behind in the game.

Posting Neglegance + Three Things

Posted on 25 March, 2010 at 10:14pm with no comments

I am some­what aware of how it becomes pos­si­ble to make such long gaps between post­ing some­thing that requires a decent amount of time and or thought. It usu­ally involves the addi­tion of lots of new things to life that make it much more time-consuming, incred­i­ble and fun. The last 2 months have been exactly that, and with­out a doubt all things I would rather be doing than writ­ing long drawn out posts.

But over the last 2 months I have returned to the dis­ci­pline of jour­nal­ing, which I do beleive in turn will impact my amount of posts and thought­full­ness of posts. Basi­cally, I plan on think­ing more.

Uncause: The Micro-Philanthropy Network

Posted on 12 February, 2010 at 11:11am with 4 comments

In a mess of word and thought I would like to try and unload the progress of cog­ni­tion my brain has been under­tak­ing over the past ~2 years, lead­ing to the cre­ation of a word I think will help define it all.

If your dar­ing enough to embark through this story, I hope that you find it min­i­mally enter­tain­ing.  If you find your­self able to make it all the way through, Thank you. I truly believe by defin­ing new things and claim­ing ter­ri­tory of what before was unbound thought helps in the devel­op­ment of human­ity and helps push for­ward run­ning the race marked out for us. So, this is the cre­ation of the Uncause.

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Posted on 26 January, 2010 at 8:37am with 1 comment »

It’s not any big news that tomor­row after­noon there is a highly antic­i­pated event. An event peo­ple have been talk­ing about for the last few weeks and have a lot of pre-suppositions about what will be said and its effects on all sec­tors of life. I mean, this event will sway mar­ket indices and change the Amer­i­can, the world’s, out­look on the rest of 2010.

So, what’s the event? or what are the events? I am sure you have an idea and will be hear­ing all about both of these speeches for the many months to come.

Steve Jobs on the Tablet, Barack Obama on the State of the Union.

Can Enough Be Done In Haiti?

Posted on 21 January, 2010 at 10:24am with no comments

Been try­ing to gather my thoughts about the earth­quake in Haiti over the past week. It seems very well like one of those defin­ing moments in his­tory when things that never before hap­pened take shape and place. It also took a spot close to home because it is just quite sim­ply so close. And friends were there.

When the Tsunami’s hit the micro/mela/polynesia area it felt so dis­tant. Even though I remem­ber telling myself about how big of a deal this was, that they’re real peo­ple… It still felt distant.

Haiti is pretty much the total opposite.

A Dilemma: The Dichotomy in Motivational Patterns

Posted on 12 January, 2010 at 3:48pm with no comments

Had a lit­tle bit of a thought that has been tak­ing shape the last few days… mostly be ask­ing the ques­tion, what moti­vates me? or what moti­vates you?

I sup­pose there is a giant amount of infor­ma­tion on this topic, I could totally go to board­ers and get a entire shelf of books on how this stuff hap­pens. But seri­ously, every­thing aside

What moti­vates you?

The expanding webernet

Posted on 2 December, 2009 at 12:31am with 2 comments

I have not been writ­ing too much lately. No good rea­son either.

But over the last few weeks I have been find­ing and work­ing on get­ting my hands into a few new places on the web, as well as learn­ing more about the word­press plat­form. One, for a few minor devel­op­ments of the theme I am cur­rently run­ning, which is very much in a devel­op­ment stage. But also learn­ing a ton about word­press for a project type thing I am work­ing on.

So I’ve been writ­ing less because I am work­ing on learn­ing more about how these web­sites WORK!

Which leads me to let­ting you know about my first two christ­mas presents thus far.

The Shelter

Posted on 27 November, 2009 at 11:17am with no comments

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while… and in honor of the day after thanks­giv­ing its appro­pri­ate to write about super cool things. It should be well known that I am a pretty huge fan of buzz word phe­nom­ena e.g. (social media, social inno­va­tion, now­ism, etc.) when there is a con­glom­er­ate of buzz words mak­ing up a giant descrip­tion… I lost con­trol.  This is a con­glom­er­ate of buzz words describ­ing a new work­space in Dubai

“The Shel­ter is a first of its kind com­mu­nity work­space that allows indi­vid­u­als from var­i­ous cre­ative dis­ci­plines to engage in an envi­ron­ment that nur­tures entre­pre­neur­ial small busi­nesses. The Shel­ter is a medium for for­ward thinkers, cre­atives and intel­lec­tu­als to con­nect and exchange ideas; con­vert­ing those inter­ac­tions into com­mer­cial ser­vices and prod­ucts through sub­si­dized work spaces.”
