Walking Into Sunshine

Yes we can! Yes we DID!

What would be more awesome then presidential candidates? Right! Foldable presidential candidates!
And that's where foldUScandidate comes in. The website hosts pdf files containing templates of respectively: the candidates (Obama and McCain), their wives and the running mates (Biden and Palin). For the Clinton fans they also have a file for Hillary, yay!

So the idea is that you download a file, cut it out, put some glue on the destined lines and fold your candidate! After you've crafted a few you can do fun things with it. For example hold your own debates, use them in your puppet theatre, or you can let them... dance!

How awesome. There's also a flickr photostream where users from around the world can share their presidential-puppet-creations.

Operation Yes

Good Afternoon All,

As an exercise, just for fun, try something today.
Think for a second about the word yes.

YES


Allow this marvelous little word to trickle into your consciousness.

What can yes do for you today? How can yes make your day a better one?
What about the people around you? How can your inner yes help them?

How can yes help you improve your environment?

During every interaction you have today, keep the word yes in the back of your mind.
Try to minimize your use of the word no and maximize your use of yes.

Yes will get you farther than no any day.

Bring yes along for the ride today and see how it affects things.


Love to all,

We've never seen anything like this before. Whatever this man is saying, it cuts clear across all previous assumptions of race, class, and education.

Truth and hope are intoxicating. And apparently very inspiring.

G'Obama!

Yes We Can!!!

Barack Obama has cinched the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

Saw these words on the cover of the Times as I took the doggie for his morning walk.
Man, I almost danced to work.

Whatever may come, right now a young, vibrant, educated, with it, sexy, black man is our party's nominee.

Life is so sweet.
Nothing in the world can take this feeling away from me.
I am so thankful for this morning.

Go Democracy!
Go America!
G'Obama!

Have a fantastic Wednesday.
