This is a quick and dirty video I through together for the flight instructor Bill because I wanted to demonstrate how I was filming from inside as well as outside the chopper.  That’s me with the red headphones on.  If you listen the instructor tells me to watch out because the wind is going to whip me around as I come into land.  I say ” it sure whipped me” to which he replies, “no you just pushed the wrong pedal.”

I’m documenting the entire process on learntoflyhelicopters.net  I’m not expecting it to be the biggest phenomenon on the net but I’ve never seen anyone actually document the entire process in video and commentary from their first flight right through to getting their licence.

Here is my first, about why I press down steaks when I cook them.

Yet, the fact is, it can be done and right at this time in human history, it has never been more possible, or, more necessary!

Hello and welcome to the inaugural post on The Phenomenon Experiment Blog. My name is Bell.  I define a phenomenon as basically any form of enterprise which, once started, generates its own exponential momentum. Phenomenon (plural) come in many forms including cults, crazes, movements and revolutions.

Essentially, a phenomenon needs three things, a vision, a purpose and an arena.  As a phenomeneer, it is my job to set these in place.  To that end I have created an umbrella organization called Bell Parc. This is where the content will be generated and launched. My mission there is to Create | Organizing | Visions.

The Phenomenon Experiment will be a real-time log of what’s happening @ Bell Parc, what’s working, what’s not and why!  You may have noticed the Tornado in a Test-tube logo® above. It’s a powerful and accurate metaphor for how I intend to do business.   Start small, start often, sample and mine rich veins and hoist sails in winds of change.  The goal is for the vision to come to life, to spin up out of the test-tube and into the real world.

As we get started I’ll outline the principles I’ll be operating on.  They are not what you might think.  In creating the visions I’ll be adhering to the principles of seeking exceptions and being exceptional.  I’ll be expecting failure, seeking it in fact.  Success will be relative to ructions.  Ructions can be negative and that can be positive as any reaction generates momentum.

Let me wrap up this post by allaying any fears I may have created.  My sole intent is to use ‘The Force’ for good.  There, it’s in writing.  As far as I know, no-one has yet written a Phenomenon Blueprint so take this blog as a work of progress to that end.

I invite you to follow, participate and even lead.

Thanks so much
