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…
