I’ve been trying to find a way to look at my older Facebook posts, because there are lots of links to interesting articles, videos and conversations that are getting further and further away as time passes.

Anyway, what I’m going to do, as time passes in the futurely direction, is post those links to article and videos here, so I can find them again when I need them. The bonus is that it will save you, my readers, the time of surfing the net for this kind of cool stuff. One stop shopping! Yay!

This guy is freakin’ AMAZING!!! His portraits are stunningly accurate!

NOTE TO (and FROM) SELF: You are constantly creating your future. There is no such thing as a moment in time that is NOT creative. What are you thinking about right now?

I’m looking for “good news” this morning (which can be quite a challenge, ya know) and found this.

Just finished watching Persepolis. What a great movie! If you get the chance, take the time to see it.
