Daily Ramblings – Spread Your Wings Sunday – Do Something Fun

Do Nothing Day, Fun, Good Food, Internet, Movies, Spread Your Wings, Weekly Challenge

Challenge #1 (provided by Five-minute Journal): Be extra wonderful to yourself today. I’m talking almond lattes and extra delicious food.

Challenge #2: Treat yourself to a movie and get that popcorn, gummy bears, or ice cream. Make it an event!

These should be easy. Everyone likes movies and good food. Try one or do both. As always, feel free to comment when you have completed one.

 

Until next time…

This was an interesting Ted Talk and one that resonated with me. With all the talk about how social media has been exploited to influence elections and modify our behavior, this  Ted Talk by Jaron Lanier offers suggestions on how we could change the Internet for the better.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk – Listening to Global Voices

Ethan Zuckerman gives a talk at a TedxGlobal event discussing how skewed our use of the Internet really is, when examined from a global context. In this talk he discusses ways of bridging the gap so that each of us is more connected, can access areas of the world that are “dark” to us, and begin the process of truly understanding one another.

Some of that occurs here. Look at your followers. Look at who is following your blog. Like me, you’ll be shocked by diversity of folks who follow you across the globe. I think blogging is one way to truly connect with other people across the globe and learn about who they are, what interests them, and how they look at the world.

Until next time…
