We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. Edith Lovejoy Pierce via quotegarden.com Permalink | Leave a comment »

New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights via thinkexist.com Permalink | Leave a comment »

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity. –Christoper Morley via calgodot.com I completely agree. Permalink | Leave a comment »

via chrischuckry.deviantart.com Absolutely amazing. Using the Tin Man as the symbol for love is brilliant, and tongue in cheek. If you don't know who Chris Chuckry is - here's a great video on him. Permalink | Leave a comment »

via subcoolandice.deviantart.com Pictures like this make me curious to take the time to figure out what is going on. "The Sinulog festival is one of the grandest and most colorful festivals in the Philippines with a very rich history. The main festival is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City to honor the Santo Niño, or the child Jesus, who used to be the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu (since in the Catholic faith Jesus is not a saint, but God). It is essentially a dance ritual which remembers the Filipino people’s pagan past and their acceptance of Christianity." via http://www.sinulog.ph/ Permalink | Leave a comment »

via worldfamousdesignjunkies.com What we’ve got here is the magnificent illustrator / designer Joe Wight performing the ant’s Herculean feat of drawing a chibi version of a Star Wars character corresponding with each of the 26 letters in the modern english alphabet. Very cute :) And since it's Star Wars, sprinkle on some coolness. Happy Friday! Permalink | Leave a comment »

via environmentalgraffiti.com Artist Hong Hao seems to have found the perfect solution for reusing anyone else’s garbage he can get his hands on. An innovative artist from China, Hao seems to get absorbed in rearranging things so that they present a different picture of what people perceive to be ordinary. Permalink | Leave a comment »

Earn a reputation. Have a conversation. Ask questions. Describe possible outcomes of a point of view. Make connections. Give the other person the benefit of the doubt. Align objectives then describe a better outcome. Show up. Smile. via sethgodin.typepad.com via @FireMom on Twitter (http://twitter.com/FireMom) Permalink | Leave a comment »

via blogs.denverpost.com In the early 1900s, William Pennington and Lisle Updike spent most days traveling the four corners area of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona in a wagon photographing the people and landscapes. The pair of photographers were based in Durango, Colorado where they leased a small space on Main Street and operated a photography studio. They traveled to the mountains and photographed miners and townspeople and visited Native American Reservations and Pueblos making portraits of the people. Best comment: "The indians were right. The cameras DO steal their souls." Permalink | Leave a comment »

via peterio.deviantart.com The art is not mine, but the words are. The image dredged them from the depths of long ago, when anger was my primary fuel. If there's a reason for the pain ... let me know ... i fiddled with dials and antennas of black and white tvs and imagined the static filled screens to be wonderful soothing imagery not so! not to be! anger turned to panic turned to melancholy and eased into twisted inspiration i listened for convenient coincidence and sensed the coming of the end i stripped off my clothes, shed my inhibition and screamed at the oppressing winter grey sky "make up your fucking mind!" with the smoke of an angry gun i painted surrealistic landscapes where i'd like to spend my life away suddenly, i stared down the barrel and inquired "are you the golden key?" these voices inside of my head ... i'd like to see their faces once, just once. i really would i've no more tvs and my anger frightens no one besides, the color is all fucking wrong in the images...

But there is an equally important movement undergoing: people shift their reliance from search to peers for news, recommendations and answers.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. via quotationspage.com Quote from Umberto Eco, Italian novelist & semiotician (1932 - ) Permalink | Leave a comment »
