Happy American Thanksgiving, everyone!

Yes, the history of this holiday is… deeply complicated, but I love that for me here and now, it’s about friends and family and food. 

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful day, and if you need something fun and uplifting to read while digesting Grandma’s special stuffing, check this out:

Underrated ways to change the world – by Adam Mastroianni

A lot of people would like to make the world better, but they don’t know how. This is a great tragedy.

I don’t know all the ways to get our good intentions unblocked. That’s why, whenever I spot someone changing the world via a righteous road less taken, I write it down on a little list. I glance at that list from time to time as a way of expanding my imagination, and now I’m sharing it in the hopes that it’ll do the same for you.

Yes, please. And thank you!

I like work for a number of reasons but some days, I just need a little break. And, apparently, 11,000 Post-Its animating a year in the life of illustrator Daren Jannace.

Goofy, yes. Fun, yes. But the most useful message in this project for me is that even small amounts of work add up over time.

And now, back to work!

Go Forth!

“Causes do matter. And the world is changed by people who care deeply about causes – about things that matter. We don’t have to be particularly smart or talented. We don’t need a lot of money or education. All we really need is to be passionate about something important; something bigger than ourselves. And it’s that commitment to a worthwhile cause that changes the world.”

― Steve Goodier

Today is all about cake baking and other kitchen stuff. We needed a few ingredients like apples and eggs, which required a trip to the store, which in turn led to that age-old question: Why is our checkout line so slooooow? What is queuing theory anyway? And, inevitably, how would this affect procedure at a transdimensional transit hub?
