Cool Alternative Vehicles - the Carver

August 28, 2008

I have NO IDEA how I stumbled on this one, (had so much fun watching the videos I forgot how I got there) but I discovered two things. First: there’s a competition for economical alternative vehicles that’s going to have all of them racing in 2009/2010 - I’ve got to watch it! (and yes, these guys are racing in it too) Second: I think the Twike just got de-throned. I SO want to try one of these. Strike that. I just WANT ONE!!! I found two videos for it. First one is short and sharp, and the second one is Top Gear. If you watch that one (over 6 mins) you have to watch it all the way through - you get to see Jeremy Clarkson squeeze himself in the back seat - and the Hamster lets a little secret slip … (Yeah sure it was a joke!) Video 1: (1m49s) Video 2: TopGear (6m33s) PS Just remembered where I got the tip. Damon Clifford’s blog. Thanks :)

Celebrate What’s Right With The World

August 28, 2008

In this 22-minute short film, “Celebrate What’s Right With The World”,
Dewitt Jones (world-class photojournalist for the National Geographic)
asks: “Do we choose to see possibilities? Do we really believe they’re
there?”

He assures us that there is always more than one right answer.
Celebrating what’s right with the world helps us recognize the
possibilities and find solutions for the challenges before us.

This inspirational, best-selling film utilizes stunning photography and
powerful dialogue to help viewers approach their lives with
celebration, confidence and grace.

“As I celebrated what was right with the world, I began to
build a vision of possibility, not scarcity. Possibility… always
another right answer.” - Dewitt Jones
