Gnat Gnat | Apologies

Gnat Gnat

Aggregating online activity whilst simplifying the effort and concentrating the goodness (or something like that).

Gnat Gnat was my digital scrapbook.

It’s tagline served a bigger idea of how even the smallest things can affect things.

It existed as a dump for all the amazing brain melting stuff I found following digital breadcrumbs and was hosted on the fab little blogging platform Posterous.

It’s mouth-watering content and future activity will now be folded into this blog (sorry if you’ve been getting many and random updates through your email / rss subscriptions as currently making good all the blog posts over the coming weeks).

Little Dots x 3,200,000 | Focus On The Little Things

Forget the grand gestures. The bold statements. The big plays.

Sure they sometimes get the limelight / ‘wow’ people / win the game but it’s the end you’re watching. Without the incremental stages, the small advances, the tiny steps, the crescendo would’ve never have been achieved.

Never undervalue the tiniest continual effort and it’s place in the larger narrative of your goals / life.

Kill Them With Kindness | UC Davis Pepper Spraying

The revolution will be streamed.

You’ve probably seen the above video from the University of California, Davis Occupy Movement event.

However, have you seen what happened after the spraying?

Please watch the whole video and note:

  • how many video cameras / mobile phones / laptops / iPads etc are captured the action
  • no retaliation from the demonstrators
  • none of the police retreat and fantastic behaviour by the students after the spraying was featured by the mainstream media

If a picture is worth a thousand words then the above video is Artamène.

Change is afoot…

Ideabombing | Spreading Ideas Internally

ideabombing

Ideabombing is one way I’m trying to communicate and share stuff which inspires, invigorates and melts peoples minds:

Idea | noun
a thought or suggestion as to a possible course of action

Bombing | verb
the art of doing any forms of graffiti visual activity.

Twice a week new content is shared through the internal CORE Education community site to digest and react to (as I never forget to pose a question or two to contextualise thinking).

Imagine this in schools but instead of shoes the texts relating to subjects plus all the different supporting content… it’s not way in the future, it’s here, nearly…

How can you see this being applied in educational settings or in the work place?

Get the idea…?

Let me know how you’re ideabombing in your organisations / companies. Does the above distribution example help?

Creating More Media Than Media | A Research Project

utterly confused stats

How much media there is the world?

For the past couple of years I’ve been saying in my social media presentations that:

“…we [as individuals] are creating more media than Media [print / tv / film / radio etc]…”

I have no facts or figures to back this claim up.

It’s an inkling.

A feeling.

A judgement call.

As someone who does numbers like this, how do I find this out or rebuke it? Has someone already explored this? Do you know the answer?

Help please…
