Make the world more… fun

Lon — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:38:41 +0000

It’s Friday, and most people have dragged, if not clawed, their way through the week.

What if every week we creatively transformed something mundane and ordinary into utter fun for everyone?

Now I know the cynic in many of you is jumping out and saying what a ridiculous and impractical idea that is… but that’s fine – you keep living in your world, the rest of us will be busy creating ours.

Toy giveaway

Lon — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 02:04:33 +0000

Stellar received an unbelievable amount of gifts this Christmas. We decided to give most of them away. She has more than enough already and we fear all the toys are making her depreciate everything else she already has. Future birthdays we’ll be more intentionally channeling gifts that people want to give to far better causes.

We had her drop of each toy and say ‘have a nice home’ to Toy Mountain. We told her there were lots of kids with no toys and some without mommy’s and daddy’s who could use the toys more… I’d like to think she understood.

* This is just one of the batches we gave away. If you suspect one of your gifts were given away – it seriously had nothing to do with the gift – they were awesome gifts! They’ve being well loved with a child who appreciates it even more now. Thanks for being generous.

Marked by Golden Arches

Lon — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 05:34:56 +0000

The planet is marked by golden arches, symbols of our willingness to relinquish uniqueness and line up for more of the same, our quest for greater convenience that won’t complicate our lives. ~ Erwin McManus

Blogger Stephen Von Worley creatively figured out the furthest distance any hamburger-loving American could be from the Golden Arches. He said it was “To gauge the creep of cookie-cutter commercialism, there’s no better barometer than McDonald’s – ubiquitous fast food chain and inaugural megacorporate colonizer of small towns nationwide.” Original post.

Here’s the visual map he came up with.

Learning to adapt

Check out this “Dream the impossible” documentary by Honda. My favorite quote – Learn to adapt with the planet or get off. This applies to so many realms of life, faith, and innovation.

Why tribes will change the world

Why tribes, not money or factories, will change the world – Seth Godin (2009).

Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges us to do so.

I finally got around to compiling a highlights video of last Sunday’s Solar Crash event, Love Comes Down.

It’s pretty hard compressing a whole evening of footage, but I tried. I know less is more, but I tried to create one video giving everyone a bit of time.

Let me know if you’d like to help or be a part of the next one!

If you weren’t there, here’s a taste of what you missed. enjoy!
