Building Personality
I like stories like this one.
This is Dan Phillips. He's one of those talented individuals who uses the waste of society to build beautiful things. But while most of these types make planter boxes out of engine blocks for example, Mr. Phillips makes homes.
Have a look at the following video and enjoy both Dan's creations and the philosophical impetus behind his work. Dan's way of thinking about the world is at times a little strangely expressed, but always seem to generate ideas we can learn from.

A Love Song for Love Songs
Note: This is the audio only version. To see the documentary that was eventually made from the podcast, go here.
Why does music rock so hard? What about it makes it endlessly interesting, utterly soul nourishing, and so thoroughly distracting from the work I'm supposed to be doing?
The Bait and Switch Project
What exactly is a bait and switch? It's a scam where a customer is lured in to a store by a product or price that's almost too good to be true. When he then arrives to pick up the miracle do-dad, he discovers that it's no longer available — although some other similar product is at a higher price. You've probably all encountered it in the retail world, even if you didn't realize that you were being had. It's not technically illegal in it's most innocuous forms, but it does serve to get people onto the sales floor long enough to make a pitch. Even if the customer ends up falling for the scam and settling for the alternative product, nothing can erase the memory of that once-promised great deal.
