Monday Mornings at The Rack pilot ...


This was our "pilot" production for the Monday Mornings at The Rack talk show and forum hosted by Clarence Williams, III, with Gus Lindquist. It is planned for the 9 to 10 AM hour at The Rack, a cafe at 1844 Springfield Ave., Maplewood, NJ, 07040, (973) 327-2353, every Monday morning that is not a holiday.(973) 327-2353

The Rack is a sweet spot on Springfield Ave, a thoroughfare that runs in a straight line from the heart of Newark to the upscale community ot Millburn, a New Jersey affluent Township, with the two ends converging in Maplewood ... and now with The Rack to channel the synergy of this dynamic confluence of diversity.
Come on down and have a cup of coffee in the Scandinavian tradition of fine brewed coffee on those mornings that Gus Lindquist is on site preparing it from the world's finest coffees. The delicious, aromatic house coffee is always available for those wanting to take a break and chill. Free wifi and an "open use" Casio keyboard augment the ambiance for today's youth involved in coding and content, the latest fields of opportunity for creating wealth where talent is what matters rather than privilege..
 
Gus is an "old fart" visionary who harkens back to the Beat Generation of North Beach in the early 1960's in San Francisco. Clarence is younger, with an engineering degree from Cornell. He owns property and runs a business on Springfield Ave. The two of them have been kicking around ideas on how to harness the energy of the future from the diversity of Springfield Ave. where its east end meets its west end in the Springfield Avenue business district surrounding the intersection of Springfield and Prospect.

And yes, there is a lot that needs fixing in the production of Monday Mornings at The Rack, as you can tell if you watched this pilot video. But Gus and Clarence subscribe to the concept that perfection is the biggest obstacle to success, and doing something and THEN talking about it is the best way to dive into coding and content. It's like shooting hoops. You can talk all you want to about the proper form for a jump shot, but until you actually get out their and let your mind--your brain-body continuum--start getting it with access to practice, connecting the synapses.
