“The modified stand up meeting…Proven to reduce meeting times by 79%.” Brandon! This is brilliant! Ha! A challenge to take notes but I suppose meetings could be digitally recorded and later transcribed. 🙂

“Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.” ~ Dave Barry

You could argue ice cream exhibits a similar force but this is so much more! I need to get a set of polymagnets. Very cool!

David Carson – All For a Few Good Waves from Dress Code on Vimeo. Graphic Designer David Carson on surfing, industry and design. Approach every project like it’s your last. Maybe it’s best not to know the rules. Good advice. Desktop is insane! And another great use for a headlamp…I’ll have to try night surfing with it. Lol!

I like to fly from stu gibson on Vimeo. Wow Stu Gibson! Your footage is amazing! I’m so inspired. Love the clip of Shipstern and Dave hangin’ 5. Thank you for sharing.

Reminds me of Jackson Pollock! Even cooler, visit Miltos Manetas (2003) “Splatter” and create your own! This did get me thinking though. What if we could replay our life’s events in slow motion? To see the gradual eruption of a child’s giggle or the breaking of a human heart. I wonder how we might interact with others and the world around us if we were able to capture all those nuances and gestures we miss.

all things leave, just like
all things change. now
pick yourself up and begin.
once you have learned
how to walk over
your insecurities,
your pain will not matter,
nothing will hurt you.

your heart can still be
a beautiful place.

“You can’t accomplish anything without the possibility of failure.” And I’m not talking about it. I’m here. I’m waiting. Thank you Alex for sharing 🙂

‘my absence is strong and warm.
it will hold
you.
it will teach you how to miss.
how to be without.
and how to survive anyway’.

And how are we documenting it? Begin by finding a place where you may explore and demonstrate that inner eccentric self. Like New York! Good advice. Thank you Maira Kalman.
