Going to the Land of Enchantment!!

Emily and I are headed to New Mexico tomorrow! We are driving to Santa Fe, staying at the Inn of the Governors. Hopefully will catch up with an old friend, Mr. Big Daddy Bull Seal himself. Looking forward to being on vay-k, relaxing and exploring a place I've never been before. Check this site thru the 22nd for updates on the trip.

OKC sundown sky

this is probably the third time or so i've blogged simply because the sky in Oklahoma blew my mind. this pic doesn't do it justice. the clouds were salmon crimson and lapis lazuli all at once. that may not even be a color.

The Recursive 30 day project

So far , in following the exploits of Andrew Dubber and his 30 days of ideas, we've seen a baby proofing software for PCs, a graffiti archive application, an idea for delivering customized radio broadcasts, an updatable business card and a concept to get people to "listen" to recorded music again (good luck, I KID, I kid!!) DJ Phillips has presented an awesome overview on his blog.The idea that has generated the most excitement amongst us, the First Follower Dance Party, is the idea of a numberless calendar.
Oh, really? ok. yay.
No, seriously! A tool , likely web based or presented in a phone app, that helps to organize and implement a 30 day project. The 30 day idea that spawned the 30 day idea to help spawn new 30 day ideas! Got any guinness? say it with me! BRILLIANT!
So, now the plan is for all the participants to think of a 30 day idea so that we can beta the project. Mine likely will be music related, but who knows. can a PR project be 30 days? "30 days to book a show at the museum of Art". Maybe I'll write a comic book. Maybe I'll start a protest. Or a contest.

Idealism , realism and real ideas.

Today I begin participating in the Idealism Project, or First Follower Dance Party, or something. I'm pretty sure the idea is to observe and report on this one guy's project ot publish an idea a day for 30 days, and then act upon implementing one of those ideas for the greater good. Once again, or something. I am finding the direction a little vague but that is one of the things that is so exciting about being involved in a conceptual project with people from around the world. Ok here's the gidt this week: The idea guys name is Andrew Dubber. The implementer and organizer of first follower is Andrew Wicklander. The idea that Dubber presented today is called Keymash, kind of a security system protecting your home computer against infant invaders. Not too bad, shows you're thinking. I guess what I find so positive about it is that it is actually something some real parents could use. It's just an idea, so I have chosen, this week at least to spend most of this entry talking about the project itself. I'm tired, perhaps I'll rewrite this throughout the week. more info.? follow @andrewatideal on Twitter.
