Ask a Gay!
WARNING: Self-promotion ahead. I've always got a number of projects going. One that has received a lot of positive feedback is Ask a Gay! After a number of conversations with friend, family and coworkers (including the co-founders of 365Awesome) I decided there was a need for a safe place to ask questions about GLBT issues. Here's the [...]
Trail mix
Trail mix is great. It's got protein. It's got carbs. It's got salt. It's designed to make you eat when you're suffering from altitude sickness. Did you know that? I heard that somewhere. So I made up a batch to help me climb the Inca Trail. And it worked! That's prety awesome! Here's my recipe: 1 part raw almonds 1 [...]
Pearl +
When I walk into a hotel room bathroom, I expect to find little bottles of shampoo, a shower cap, and some little bar of soap. When I walked into my room at the Ace Hotel, however, I found the most amazing little bar of soap. It's got pearls, it's got charcoal. It made me smell like a delicious campfire at the beach. According to the [...]
Aguas Calientes
At the end of the Inca Trail, just below the archeological site of Machu Picchu, sits the town of Aguas Calientes. Literally meaning, "hot waters" Aguas Calientes is home to a hot springs. Just up the valley from the main part of town is a soaking facility where locals and tourists sit together in the pools of hot water and marvel at the [...]
Amiri Horn
Amiri Horn is making a difference. When heard that the people of Haiti were suffering, he decided to act. Not only did he gather up all of the band aids in the house to send, he convinced his mom to let him open a lemonade stand. Five months later, he's raised over $3,700 for Mercy Corp (a pretty darn awesome organization), and is working [...]
Stand Up For Mental Health
Stand Up For Mental Health teaches stand up comedy to people with mental illness as a way of building their confidence and fighting public stigma, prejudice, and discrimination. If that isn't awesome I don't know what is. In an article on WTOP.com, founder and teacher David Granirer said, "People see these folks with labels like 'bipolar' [...]
100 foot tall crossword puzzle
I think this may very well be the largest crossword puzzle ever made. It's on a 100 foot tall building in Lvov, Ukraine. At night, as seen in this photo, with the help of special lights, the letters appear. Way, way awesome.
String Ring
Tying a string around your finger has never been cooler. These attractive rings with string running through them are some of the most awesome things I've seen in a while. With different color strings symbolizing different reminders this bit of bling carries some meaning as well as some sparkle. Remember to love and enjoy is my favorite. [...]
Backyard
There are a million awesome places. Toward the top of that list has to be your own backyard. Time in your own backyard at the end of a long day can be the most rejuvenating thing you do. It is for me, anyway. A little time in the chair, with the breeze, a glass of wine, listening to the birds sing. Ah...that's heaven. Really, really [...]
Bill Gates & Warren Buffett
The two richest people in America not only want to give their money away, but they also want other billionaires to do the same. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are planning to give most of their money to charity and they're asking the 400 wealthiest people in America to join them in giving away 50% or more of their fortune. Why? Because they [...]
