The 1000 Journals Project

What a cool idea! "Someguy" thought up a scheme to help the world re-discover their inner artists-he released 1000 blank journals into the world, each with a graphic designer designed cover. They were passed on from friend to friend, or to strangers, even left in public places or mailed abroad. Now there is a documentery being made out of these incredible books.

Dan Eldon

Dan Eldon is one of the most amazing people to ever live. His journals on Africa are outstanding and his devotion to a dangerous subject is amazing-it is so tragic that he died in his twenties. There is a movie comming out about his life though, where Daniel Radcliff from Harry Potter will play Dan. In the meantime get a fix by checking out his journals online at http://http://www.daneldon.org/. Some of his journals are also on display at the Candela/Decker gallery in Manhattan.

Dogeared

Something about this brand of fun, symbol-heavy jewelry makes me a total sucker for their arbitrary pieces. I know that a piece of colored twine with a peace sign charm on it isn't worth $25, but something makes me think that if I made it on my own, my wish wouldn't come true. I especially love the peace sign, and skull necklaces.
