Avocadorable
Take 1 avocado, cut it in half, pull out the pit, slice up the insides with a knife, pour in some olive oil, squeeze on some fresh lime, sprinkle some sea salt, and scoop into mouth.

Nicola Tesla's inventions in 3D
If you don't know who this guy is, then you should. Have you ever heard of AC power? You know, the power of alternating current that keeps our lights on across the world? Yeah, Tesla invented that. He had a dream and an actual invention to supply the world with power when J. P. Morgan, his financial backer, pulled the plug on the Wardenclyffe Tower due partly to the fact that if transmit power through the air then then there is no way of metering it, no way to make money... Was it ever really possible? hmm...
He also invented radio (Marconi got the Nobel Prize for it though), found X-rays, invented radio controlled vehicles, mechanical igniting system for internal combustion cars (spark plugs), founded the Tesla Effect (the movement of energy through space and matter, not just thought the production of voltage through conductor), invented a directed energy weapon or the death ray (it was never produced ), and theorized flying vehicles running off of electro-mechanic energy. Thats a lot of stuff, and really only scratches the surface of how amazing this man was. What would it have been like if he had that Bill Gate's type money?

Top 5 Spots for Guac and Killer Margaritas
1. Rosa Mexicana (18th btwn 5th and Broadway)
The original restaurant to kick-off guac made fresh by your table in NYC. Pair with: classic frozen pomegranate margarita, la pinela (pineapple and cinnamon).
2. Mercadito (Avenue B between 11th and 12th)
Choose from 3 types: traditional, mango (pico de gallo, jicama, chipotle) or granada (pomegranate and habanero). Pair with: smokey pablo (regional reposado, mango, chile morita, blueberry float)
3. Cienfuegos (6th and Avenue A)
Guacamole is served with plantain chips, and who can resist drinks served in your own personalized punchbowl? Pair with: autumn shake (El Dorado 15-year lime, Benedictine, Angostura Bitters, Mint)
4. San Loco (North 4th St, Williamsburg)
You better eat a lot of guac, because a pitcher of any flavored margarita here will leave you on the floor!
5. Hell's Kitchen (9th Ave between 47th & 48th)
Eat guacamole with chorizo or tuna tostadas. Pair with: pineapple-strawberry margarita (tequlia, triple sec, strawberry puree, pineapple, fresh lime juice)

The 4th dimension is time
(Although existence is hard to define without time, so maybe it's really the 1st dimension? But I digress.)
3-D is on notice! Say "yello" to 4-D typography.

Sick Puppy TV - Cooking with Jodie Foster
A talented group of NY comedians & film makers. Movers and shakers.
2/10 MVotD
Today marks a critical day in our society -- people burdened with AT&T's ridiculous service can finally enjoy their iPhones on a more superior network!
Perhaps you should send AT&T the video below. Mayer Hawthrone is a great solo act if you dig funk and doo-wop. Love the way this was shot, feels old with a modern twist.

Brushes for the iPad- Great for sketching
The iPad is a great sketchbook. If you know how to use it. For several weeks now, I left my pencil and sketchpad at home in favor of Brushes app for the iPad. I won't get into how great of a media consumption device it is, but instead will briefly say that it is great at creating this sort of media. It will never replace photoshop or painter for more high end, highly detailed work, but it's great at keeping your wrist loose for those long commutes. It's worth the download!
These both took me 5-15 minutes to do in actual time.

An argument can be made that all forms of unauthorized painting on public or private spaces is graffiti - which is illegal. However, how can you call something so carefully crafted and visually appealing a crime? Check out this original Banksy in the neighborhood of Visual Guacamole's founder. If anything, art should always be public.

Old man, new forum
OMG...the old man is posting something. Quick, get the oxygen, or the iodine, or something with a kick! It's a new wrinkle (pun intended) for a life lived in the curmudgeon lane, for a man who likes his coffee black, doesn't wear batting gloves, and thinks a real wood-burning fireplace is the only way to go. A man who remembers black and white TV, handwritten thank-you notes, and wearing a suit and tie to the office and the ballpark. But they say that a man's reach should exceed his grasp, so here goes my shot at grabbing the future by the short hairs...
2/9 Music Video of the Day!
Today's music video of the day comes from OK Go's latest. Love the way they film this out of single shots, this probably took a long time to make! Hope it's inspirational :)
Creativity needs your help....
Collaboration is the new competition. Great effort from Alex Bogusky's (no surprise) Fearless Revolution.
This week, over 150 teams are competing in a Social Media Week related initiative to support creativity in education. The Fearless mission is to brainstorm ideas that preserve, champion, and foster creative education. Some well known folks are judging those ideas, and partners have signed on to pilot test the cream of the crop. It isn't perfect - but it's a start - no one doesn't care about education, but we're rarely called into action or given a way to participate.
The visual deck embedded in this blog is meant to inspire you, to get your brain limber, and to urge YOU (yes, you there) to put some of your cognitive surplus to work. It was created by Alex and The Bucket Brigade - an interdisciplinary network of creative problem solvers who care about confronting complex problems. If you're already a member, this is your first mission. If you aren't, consider yourself conscripted.
The FearLess community has rallied around the idea that if you cut away the fear, and replace it with a little love, there's an amazing amount of good you can accomplish. Please consider participating.
