Mellowbeing

Meet Chuck the Snowman!

Made this on 2/27.. these last few posts aren’t chronologically accurate.

This photo was highlighted by PZ Meyers from the Pharyngula blog. Butterflies in love.. or courting.. either way.

Good morning guys and gals. Thought I’d start off the week with some uplifting imagery. The first to grace our eyes is this motivational poster which is the anti-thesis of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” well-known British poster.

It was highlighted by Merlin Mann at 43 Folders. The original image is here by Matt Jones.

From the Indexed blog.

Thing-a-Day 3 posts coming soon.

Fake July 4, 2009 New York Times being handed out on the street. Very well done, originally uploaded by fredwilson.

I got one of these walking to work this morning. It’s a really well planned out prank. Amazing work!

Why does Merlin Mann absolutely rock? Because he does. Not to mention, he writes amazingly profound bits of advice such as the one above. It is concise, motivating while not being preachy, douchebaggy “motivational speak”, funny and Twitter friendly – under 140 characters!

I feel like just the first and last bits “Find Your Obsession / Get better” are the perfect pair to apply to life in general. I’m currently working on being more efficient, getting my priorities straight and having things set to prepare myself for a good future and an enjoyable today that allows for the madness that everyday life brings.

Watch the entire talk he gives on “How to Blog”. The man is quite the genius when it comes to getting things done.

More crafty programming coming after the break.

A few months ago, I decided to test Urban Dictionary and see if I could get “mellowbeing” added as a word to their database. The approval process takes longer than a couple of days so it sort of dropped from my immediate attention span. While doing a Google search today, I found out that the entry had been added! Talk about a double whammy on one day :)

P.S. Hope all you New Yorkers out there are staying dry this weekend. It’s a bit misty out there.
