Ahhh, you thought I’d given up – didn’t you? Thought I couldn’t finish a month long challenge, eh? Wrong. I just haven’t been posting shiz (#slacker). But no worries. We’ll catchya up.

#30daysofnewthings: New trail and metayoga
“How far’d you go? A couple miles?” The fisherman I’d just waved to asked me this from a distance as I was finishing up my run. He and his buddy had been standing at the side of the dock since before I parked my car, stretched, and set out on a new trail. It was set to be day three of my #30daysofnewthings challenge.

30 days: Can I install innovation habits with neuroplasticity?
“And how much is this?” I asked, thumbing through the packet labeled “aura reading”.

6 hypothetical uses for this GoPro on steroids. And their pros. And cons.
So, this new gadget’s in the works. And it sounds like something straight outta that movie “Final Cut”. You know? The one where Robin Williams is this futuristic photo splicer who takes bits of people’s recorded lives (because everyone has every second of their lives recorded in the future) and turns them into a montage for their families to watch or something? I think I got the gist of that.. Read More
Spotlight on V. Scott – how an open mind closes in on goals
It’s amazing what we can accomplish, keeping an open mind while acting on passion. Wanting to make a difference might start with something already awesome like this: (Coat for the homeless that transforms into a sleeping bag and carrying bag.) But as it gains momentum, the same sentiment that inspired the coat can lead to changing lives on a mass scale. And that’s exactly what Veronika Scott of the Empowerment.. Read More
