30 Challenges for 30 Days Did you know that it takes 30 days to form a new habit? The first few days are similar as to how you would imagine the birth of a new river. Full of enthusiasm it gushes forth, only to be met by strong obstacles. So, take a moment to reflect on the question ‘Who do I want to be in 5 years?’ Check out this short TED talk first to get inspired: Now pick one or more challenges and stick with them! However, be cautioned, picking too many challenges at the same time can easily result in a failure of all of them. #1 Write a I-Like-This-About-You note/text/email each day for someone (Easy) This is the perfect way to let someone else know you care. #2 Talk to one stranger each day (Hard) This is a great one to cure approaching anxiety. #3 Take one picture each day (Hard) This one gets harder nearing the end of the challenge because at one point you will run out of the easy shots. #4 Re-evaluate one long-held belief each day (Intermediate) #5 Take a 30 minute walk each day (Easy) We recommend:

Well, At Least There Was Good Stuff to Read: The Books of the Decade Anybody remember how anxious and thrilled we were in those last months of the 20th century? When we weren't at war and we had a budget surplus and it looked like Al Gore would be president? The prospect of a 21st century filled with new technologies, new art and literature loomed large and bright. But now, as we look back at what was decidedly a shitty decade for an incredible variety of people in an equally incredible variety of ways (evictions/invasions/bombings/etc), it's surprisingly hard to be pessimistic about the books that assessed, satirized, dramatized and distracted us from the events of the past 10 years. Goethe said that the decline of a nation's literature is the precursor to that nation's fall, and with this look back at the books that defined the decade, we'd like to tell Goethe to suck it. To be clear: there were plenty of bad books over the course of the decade, as well.

12 great free online courses Much ado has been made in recent years over the quickly rising cost of healthcare in the United States. But the cost of college tuition and fees has skyrocketed at nearly twice that rate. Going to college today will cost a student 559% more than it did in 1985, on average. In an exciting talk given at TEDGlobal 2012, Stanford professor Daphne Koller explains why she was inspired — alongside fellow professor Andrew Ng — to create Coursera, which brings great classes from top universities online for free. When she spoke at TED Global, Coursera offered classes from four top colleges — Princeton University, the University of Michigan, Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania — but in July, Coursera announced that they had increased to 16 participating colleges, including five of the schools considered the top 10 in the country by the U.S. Inspired by Young, below, find 12 courses you could take for a completely free TED degree in Big Ideas.

Bony to Beastly – The muscle-building program for skinny guys The glory of hockey stick art Image from slapshotcreations.com The dog gate above is, as the caption mentions, taken from slapshotcreations.com , a website put together by @BillShandler that showcases some of the cool stuff he’s built from used hockey sticks. He inspired me to search out some more great hockey stick woodwork, and thanks to a Twitter request and the fancy google machine, I’m proud to present the best of my initial findings. Who doesn’t love this stuff? Let’s take a look. * First, a beauty. What a downright perfect fit for that dock. * Now, let’s get a little less polished, and a little more awesome. That is truly a thing of beauty, Peggy. So, so great. * There’s about 300 different ways to build a hockey chair, so I’ve compiled the most common below: I’m all about using goalie paddles for arm-rests. * And now a few from the web… The hockey stick chest: Badass. * The hockey stick cutting board : No idea how that was made, but it looks like it was a lot of work.

WWTDG: Faith Cheltenham and BiNet USA Faith Cheltenham Photographed When Pregnant With Her First Child (Image from Advocate.com) I met Faith Cheltenham while doing standup in a Los Angeles LGBT bar. She was outspoken, bold, brash, extremely opinionated, and totally approachable. Three years later, I saw her in an Advocate article celebrating LGBT activists and I was blown away by the amount of passion she had invested in the bisexual movement. When thirty-two year old Faith was growing up in San Luis Obispo, California, there was less than one percent of African Americans in the city. To top it off, she was constantly bullied for being perceivably queer. VIDEO: Faith Cheltenham Talking About Being An LGBT African American In A Church Community At UCLA in the late 90s, Faith saw LGBT rights activist and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s half-sister Candace Gingrich speak for National Coming Out Day, specifically emphasizing how people of all faiths needed to start coming out of the closet.
