A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

With everything going on in the world… this is a great song of hope. Turn off the lights, cozy down into your favorite seat, and turn it up enough to drown out any outside noise. Enjoy! 😉

Wall Street Occupation — Occupation, not Organization?

Maybe I have not dove in deep enough yet, but aside from yelling things we already feel, what is the call to action of the Wall Street occupation? Is it simply for people to sit up and take notice? Is it to push a reform agenda? Is it to prosecute criminal actions from the recent economic disaster? Is it for reform? Is it all of the above?

I like what I see because it is better than nothing. However, leaderless and with no easily detectable and digestible agenda, I fear it will at best be eventually dismissed. At worst, I fear Wall Street could easily hire a few rabble-rousers to mix in with the crowd and incite violence to discredit any positive momentum. I pay more attention than a lot of people I know and if I do not know the agenda, aside from simple public outrage, I doubt a lot of others do. The danger of public outrage without an agenda, in my opinion, is eventually you just look like an unruly mob.

The Glowing City

Pretty much, all of the stuff by +Trey Ratcliff is amazing. I've shared some of his work here before but I didn't want to become a mirror of his stream so I'm only sharing the ones that really REALLY bowl me over. Show him some Love people.

The Glowing City

This is the photo I took a few days ago here in China and edited during a Google+ live hangout. People often to ask to see the "before" shot, and it's usually impossible just because I am so busy… I post so many new photos here and on the main blog that I can't fulfill all requests like that…. but, here is an exception… and you can see the before at https://plus.google.com/105237212888595777019/posts

And you thought Herbie was Hollywood special effects…

I can't believe I've never seen this video until tonight! I would honestly choose to drive my (being restored) Beetle over so many other praised expensive sports cars. Don't get me wrong, I'd initially take the sports car, then sell it, then buy even more Beetles. Yes. Yes, I would.
