Everyone talks about change these days, and change is what this world needs.
My friend Taylor Barr wants to go to Paris because he’s all about changing the world we live in - for the better. But in order for him to go, he needs some help.
This is a short, silent film was created to raise money to send Taylor Barr to the LeWeb ‘08 conference in Paris, France. “Taylor the Mime” doesn’t say a word, but there’s no mistaking exactly what he wants to do!
LeWeb is not just another conference. It is an event created by Geraldine & Loïc Le Meur looking to inspire conversation on wider array of topics than just technology. Yeah, technology is an important aspect of our future, but can technology be used in other sectors as well? Perhaps for social change?…
I want to go to the conference to discuss with companies and startups and invoke conversation on how we can change the world. I strongly believe that technology will play a huge role in accommodating and perhaps solving some of the world’s most difficult issues.”
Taylor Barr, you rock my world, even when you’re not saying anything at all. Good luck and cheers to your success… and THANK YOU for representing me, being my voice:
“Across the spectrum, I want to be there to be your voice. Family, Friends, and Colleagues- Please do what you can to make this dream come true.”
Judy mentioned in one of her posts recently that it seems many bloggers are taking a break from writing - all for a variety of reasons. She suggested that maybe we all need a NoBloPoMo (a No Blog Posting Month)…
Every summer I go to California and spent 2-6 weeks with my “family”. I haven’t been there in almost two years (last summer I was sorta tied up getting a kidney transplant) and I’m super anxious to go. I leave on June 9th.
I’ve been making these CA trips at random times for the last 7 years, while I’ve been a SAHM, unemployed/disabled due to kidney failure, and during the times when I can afford it. It’s been a small luxury, and it’s never far from my mind that I’m lucky in this way.
However, I feel meloncholy that this will probably be one of the last extended “vacations” in California that I’ll be taking for awhile. I really hope by this time next year I’m healthy enough to be back to working.
If you’re wondering, The Kidlet is coming with me, but is only spending about a week in Ramona, CA before he spends the rest of the summer between three sets of grandparents (in CA, CO and AZ). K1, unfortunately, has to stay home (with the exception of one weekend) to work.
As for me,
THIRTEEN things I want to do on my 5 week trip to San Diego/Ramona, California:
Take it however you want it, but I wanna do bad things... right now.
