"one given to eccentric or bizarre notions" Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis. “Carry on, and preserve yourselves for better times.” Our crackpot vision is fantastically forward looking. Ours is a manifesto driven by conviction, offered to a world in search of a creed. We are offering both a non-traditional vision of the future and a concrete sense that our technology effectively brings the distant closer to hand, and dreams closer to reality. We espouse a radically simple philosophy based on the possibilities of the human experience, the thirst for knowledge, the capacity to create, the love of family and of friends, and an insatiable hunger for

accomplishment. Technology alone is not enough, its technology coupled with the liberal arts and humanities, using a type of crackpot craftsmanship with the cube that makes our hearts sing. Crackpot culture incorporates global integration not through mere information but more importantly content rich communication. The traditional corporate culture model disdains disorder, preferring instead an orderly, centralized-top-to-bottom waterfall like system. We reject this model, and instead thrive off the inherent chaos associated with an increasingly interconnected world. We incorporate the geyser like,
bottom-up, decentralized approach to business. Crackpots never waste an error, see change as a robust opportunity, and failure as fuel. Life is a joint venture, why should your business be any different? Crackpot culture is a genuinely collaborative think tank, encompassing a cross-pollination of innovative fields in a revolutionary, rather than evolutionary fashion. Crackpots constantly expand there mental library of what is possible by taking the theoretical and making it practical in an extraordinary and original way. Be yourself, be a mother flippin’ crackpot.

In 2013, we face an ironically tremendous communication deficit. It has never been easier to gain and disseminate information on a broad level, yet it has never been more agonizingly difficult to translate that information into a mutually beneficial, collaborative and educational experience. The 21st century explosion of information has yet to translate into equitable opportunity for the millions of small businesses who’s voice have been consistently drowned out. The cube is the ultimate multi-media platform that equalizes the playing field like no other product. Humans intuitively crave attention. Information needs to be highly personalized and aggregated in a simple, attractive and efficient way. Human capital is being grossly under utilized. The cube amplifies the human experience, professionally and personally in an unprecedented fashion by being the ultimate aggregator of ideas. Who’s ideas? Your ideas, amplified to a targeted audience of your choosing. The cube is only going to be as effective as the people that utilize its capabilities. Sales and marketing tend to dominate the big business eco-system, often at the expense of the product. Central to our crackpot culture is remembering and exploiting what truly separates us as a people, as a product; the cube.
Put on your gloves, it’s go time for your business.
Your inherent uniqueness is inextricably linked to your business potential and ultimate success. The crackpot cube is a user concentric multimedia ambassador, expressing a corporate or individual voice to any given aggregation of connected mediums at any given time.
“Technology alone does not bring about meaningful change—people do.” -Biz Stone, Co-founder of Twitter

THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN SOME OF THE PARTS Thoughts on creating a TEAM11 FAMILY by sw Don’t allow yourself to sit back and merely dream. As Nike says, just do it! start making your calls, use your cube to establish what it is you plan on doing, be bold and courageous, and ask other doers and experts to join you. Once you've started creating your Team11 family, find an entrepreneur that needs help and start your rebellion. Remember it doesn’t need to be a huge venture. Often a successful company in reality is just the conglomeration of many small businesses. Most importantly, realize that you can change the world one business at a time. Capitalize on all the connections you have and realize that as important as learning from your successes of yesteryear is, it is even more critical to use your failures of the past in order to succeed going forward. Look, none of us are perfect. I have made more mistakes than anyone I know. I was joking in a magazine interview a few weeks ago when I was asked what qualified me to do what I do. I said that I’ve heard that a person learns more from mistakes than successes. I said if that is the case, then ma'am I am the most learned man I know. So I think we have to ask ourselves what have we ever done to affect our
world? What have we done that is of any lasting goodness? When do we “Culture then is not a wall ‘over stop making the same mistakes and more importantly when do we stop there’ but the very tiles out of talking and actually do something? which your own thoughts are The answer to these questions can constructed.” not be found on spread sheets. Those -Geoffrey O’Brien, Editor in who are able cannot just donate Chief, Library of America money to clear their conscious, but we have to use our God given talents to do what we were meant to do. We have to start acting on our notions of goodwill in a real, tangible way. Look, there is nothing wrong with working to make money and to improve our lives but nothing and I do mean nothing will be as rewarding as working to improve others lives. The old saying of when we die we can’t bring our possessions with us is very true but I believe we will be photo courtesy of Gail Anderson and Joe Newton able to bring our accomplishments that we create for others and our legacy will be still burning here on earth. So many of us work to have a safe Team11 family today. Make a choice to retirement or to pad our families accounts overcome problems and to make a but nothing will benefit our families more difference for others. We have all seen in then providing a legacy that they know they ample supply the unnecessary emptiness of can live up to and improve upon. our world, now its time to learn what My father use to say every Sunday, making a difference for others and “This is the day the Lord hath made and changing our world feels like.

The key is to be yourself by becoming about more than your self, grow your influence worldwide by joining not just one family but multiple Team11 families. Use your already developed entrepreneurship skills while you develop new ones. Use your families to become everything that you were supposed to be. Attempt to join families where you may learn new skills, gain connections and most of all have a rewarding time not just in the
end result, but within the process of changing your world on a daily basis. I think that our parents and grandparents did a good job from what they new and there have been great successes in improving upon the human condition, but we cannot accept the successes of the past as enough. Nor can we accept the failures of not caring for others as a first priority as acceptable. Failure is only bitter if you swallow it, it is an incredible event when accepted as a transformational learning experience. This is the day the Lord hath made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it.

International Trade and The Developing World: With the cube as the intermediary, entrepreneurship meets philanthropy-
The World Will Change
The cube’s inherently ubiquitous presence will serve as an indispensable tool for small businesses the world over. Together we can combine profit motives with a “my brother and sister’s keeperâ€? identity. If the hope and original idea of a shrinking world has The concept of yin yang 陰陽 in traditional Chinese taught us anything it is that it is possible like never before to truly foster a borderless business climate of a mutually beneficial nature. philosophy is used to describe how seemingly opposing views and ideas actually are interrelated, indefeasible and mutually dependent Accordingly, crackpot business minds will flourish and multiply from the heights of Felix Baumgartner’s space jump to the depths on one another. Yin and yang are complementary, not opposing of 20,000 leagues under the sea.

HOW DOES A Team11 Family Work? Philantrepreneurship is the ultimate weapon for world change
Uganda Seeds Program
is ok and in fact expected for you to make money off of the entrepreneur as far as the cube advertising and continued growth of new team members. Each Team11 member will sign a pledge to assist their fellow teammates without taking advantage of one another. It is required to allow the team leader to own 100% of their business. If any Team11 member is breaking this rule Team11 inc. reserves the right to pull the entrepreneur from the Team11 members system.
Yessir, it’s back to implementing and understanding that the whole is greater than some of the parts. Individually creating the proper strategy results in an exponentiation of Team11. When a team organizes itself with the right members, they will soon find themselves not only with strength in numbers but will experience the benefits of the collective strength of individuals with their own creativity and other inherent talents associated with each teammate. Team11 is a global network of selfstarting entrepreneurs working individually yet as a concise team. Each region can focus on an individual area of need in the venture but because all team members are self-starting leaders, any member can assist others in their area of expertise. So a Team11 member decides to assist a fellow crackpot entrepreneur either domestically or in any country in the world. Their fellow Team11 member then helps the new entrepreneur organize a plan of action starting with a full media cube to introduce their venture as well as a cube to manage their marketing strategy. The second cube will initially be a demo of some of the ideas. The Team11 member then uses the cube to recruit the rest of the family. In some instances they may be looking for a family member who can assist with distribution by using the cube as their supreme marketing tool. They may be looking for product experts as well as graphic experts or a shipping or international expert. The two original Team11 members will have built a team of 9 additional fellow warriors ready for battle, each of which are leaders in their respective field/region. In some cases the Team11 member may purchase the cube account for the designated head honcho entrepreneur, who will then get repaid when the business is up and running. Additionally, it

Now this is not to say a given Team11 is prohibited from going into a country and starting a sub-business and partnership with other businesses within that country, but this needs to be recognized from the start. Accordingly, you should not be using other Team11 philanthropic efforts for your own financial gain. Remember that the goal of the Team11 family is to use our entrepreneur skills for philanthropic purposes, for this is the war cry of our rebellion. Finally, it should be noted that any Team11 member can be a part of as many families as they see in their vision of their life to be a part of. It would be my goal for each member to be a part of at least 11 families as this qualifies the Team11 member to receive their watch, bracelet or ring. by sw

Or how about Huduma, which allows people to report and map government service failures such as water cutoffs and potholes, and track how long it takes to fix the problem. With the cube, previously economically isolated communities can easily integrate with the ever emerging global economy. As a Team11 member, you can follow in the footsteps of Mr. Ndemo and foster an IT revolution in a strategically opportunistic area of your choosing. by Team11

THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW TO USE YOUR CUBES
We are in the business of providing a unique voice and solid business execution for our clients Simply put, the online experience has been overrun with immense, unorganized data. Usable information is hard to find but more importantly it is hard to present. The cube gives clients the ability to have concentric usable information which separates their voice and vision from their peers. This multidimensional platform defiantly presents clarity to an audience on any instrument, to any destination and at any time their end user prefers. THE WORLD IS A CUBE- SHRINK ITS DIMENSIONS. Once a client has their cube they can shrink the distance to their customer in an unprecedentedly personal and functional way, which builds and binds them to their customers and allows them to grow their audience with an uncompromising spirit.

••• The cube presents a truly organic and superior method of communication. PCs were originally created out of necessity. Apple created a "terminal" of sorts by providing direct access to your destination through there products. The cube is the next evolution of these notions, created out of necessity for small businesses. Why do you do things? People’s answers invariably are "well that's just the way it's done.” This is the original sin of business folklore. There is a cultural deficit in business today and we are here to balance the books. Ask questions and think very hard. Remember what truly separates you from everyone else and capitalize on it with the cube. Content is king, content with distribution is King Kong .

can go blind trying to figure out what a site is trying to say or sell, no matter how interested they are in the product or service. Stay focused, keep it simple and start learning how to communicate what you need to and take direct aim at specific users and buyers.
OK, LETS LEARN HOW TO BECOME A CRACKPOT CUBE CREATOR All this means to us is a crackpot is a person that does not live within a box or feels forced to follow suite or do what has been done before. It’s how we started developing the cube. We were told what we were trying to develop was impossible. We responded improbable sure, but impossible never. We don’t live within the norm, whatever that is, neither do you, I’m sure.
11
Remember, anytime you’re having trouble building or managing cubes you can go to the help videos to walk you through the process so don’t get frustrated, we will help, just click your problems away.
HOW CAN U (that’s right i’m talking to u) USE A CUBE? First of all you can use it just to present information such as about you, or about a company, or about a project, or current event. This is a world of unlimited possibilities, it’s now your voice, your world. Never before has a person had such concentric rich media information all in one vehicle. We call your cube presence your ambassador because your cube has a ubiquitous media
presence. Your cube is deliverable to your audience how they want it, when they want it and in whatever manner they want it delivered. What we are saying is that the cube can come to them via texting from the computer or phone, it can be sent through email, it can be posted on social networks, it can be embedded on your site or as many sites of your friends and family as you want to have it on. And when you update your cube all those locations can instantly have the new updates. In reality were actually trying to figure out how to beam you everywhere like star trek but we couldn’t figure out how to have you be omnipresent so we opted to have your presence be ubiquitous. So the first use is to use one of your cubes to be, well YOU. People use this for resumes or for introducing their company or organization. As a mater of fact using the resources of all the widgets, we have had companies tell us they are not using powerpoint anymore to present their ideas. One of the most exciting ways that people are presenting information with the cube is current events. It could be a party or game or as awesome as a important social-regional or world event and now crackpots can be at the event, create a cube full of pics and audio and videos, and in seconds share that cube throughout their presence worldwide. That’s what i’m talking about.
There are endless ways to use the cubes as your information headquarters.

WHEN YOU UPDATE YOUR CUBE IT IS DONE AND OUT EVERYWHERE. NOTHING CAN SHARE YOU, LIKE YOU
As far as presentations go, there is so much a person can do with the cube. Share instant updates, use the cube for a personal bio and resume. Honor a friend or family member or use the cube as a full blown presentation. To do this please see in the help videos how to use the article widget which we hope you run through issuu.com. It’s a great resource to make sure you have the ability to flip pages and insure that your article can be viewed on all devices that you send the cube to. The most important thing about using your cubes for Neque Dolor et Labo re? presentation is real simple. It’s your voice. Not just text, not just pictures or 247 ipsum not even just video.

CRACKPOT.CUBE is a proactive solutions based spear, not a reactive problem assessment, nonaggressive stick. Traditional websites are wack! The cube in our new private label, micro-site (presence) environment is the sorely needed antidote to the ad-nauseam marketing world we’ve lived in for too long.

BRIDGING THE GAPS TO EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION If you want to breakthrough in business USE YOUR CUBES. So many people have no idea what you’re talking about when you send blind emails. If you’re selling a sea horse YA MIGHT WANT TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

PRIVATE LABEL
“Turning transactions into interactions and good deeds into a currency.” -Tim Leberecht Now a company can receive their own PRIVATE WHITE LABEL service, along with their own enterprise addition of the cube for more effective branding, monitoring and tracking of their sales, transactions and other activities. Additionally, with the Enterprise Cube,

companies can offer their representatives cubes with strictly their branding and imaging. Use all the functionality of the cube but now sport just the personality that you desire. Not only that, with the growing functions and usabilities they are able to change their personalities on the fly. John Maeda, the President of the Rhode Island School of Design separates leadership essentially into two categories: 1. Traditional Leadership and 2. Creative Leadership. We aspire to implement and encourage creative/ crackpot leadership within our company and amongst our affiliates.
Timing is everything “Timing is everything for a successful business, perception precedes response. The success of your brand ultimately depends on what other people say about you when you're not in the room.” Mark Rolston Chief Creative officer, Frog.

PUSH THE CUBE
Spring 13’
Where they want it, when they want it, how they want it.
PRESENCE
FUNCTIONALITY
PERSONALITY
Simple put, your clients can literally make the cube and the entire experiance within and around the cube their own. Including, but not limted to their own unique and private URL for their mobile, micro-site which we call the cube’s “presence.”
All controllable elements inside and outside the cube. Create your own backdrop and watermarking. Provide one branding for all your employees. Create multiple cubes for different events and concentrations.
Personality is where it’s at. A company can be precise in its image and free to evolve and transform on a moments notice all the while maintaining their personal and unique business identity.

BEGINNING Branislav - Illija Developing our dreams took years and is fact an ongoing process. But like so much in life, we keep remembering not to be a prisoner of our own knowledge by staying focused on what we will know if we press forward. What can I say about our team. Nothing Intimidates US
BUT WE DID IT AND WE GOT A LOT MORE TO SHOW
People ask how many lines of code make our system work. Its funny, what is hard is to keep getting better by learning how to use less code to do it. The truth is, we have only begun developing the cube. We have just begun to shrink the concept of communication

we can change your world in control of their own destiny and to not only be somebody but a catalyst for
incorrectly sought direct, despotic organization and set specific standards for what made the world go round. But like the world we live in, it’s not about structure but rather a controlled chaos spurred about by the expression of our ideas through the actual emotions and soul of what we share with the world.

Never Say Never •••
We pride ourselves in being ‘nobodies’ in the sense that we are a true team, unconcerned with individual notoriety. The truth is that we believe the cube gives maybe for the first time, a multidimensional voice to its users.

The cube is a vehicle, it’s your ambassador and in this world today no one can stop you from being you. Do you need to share your product, your concept. Are you sharing your story.? Now you can say Never Say Never, because now you can. When we say we can change your world we include YOU in the WE.
