So insane boredom at work the other day gave me the push I needed to finally start a small project I’ve been meaning to do for awhile. Long story short, after “being myself” on OKcupid and striking out on a nothing but consistent basis, I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of finding an aspect of someone’s profile I can relate to and saying something funny/clever about it, I decided to transcribe fantastical voicemails that I’d leave them after our first date together. This worked a million times better, and was soooo much fun to create. (Worked as in got them to respond once)

Anyway, I started a quick blog, and with the help of my Italian counterpart Chad, made it look real nice. Him and I are the only two contributors at the moment (I initial mine JDJ, and his CJC), but we encourage everyone to make their own and post them. They can be completely made up, like most of mine are, or based on a story you’ve heard or experienced. Call/Text/Gchat/Email/Speak to either one of us if you’re ready to enlist. I love you all and you’re all I love.

Please watch this… A physicist named Geoffrey West describes mathematical laws that govern the properties of cities. I found this particularly interesting towards the later half when he mentions humanity has prevented the inevitable collapse of society through repeated innovation. What will be the next great innovation to drive ourselves forward?
