I had heard about this movie a little from the design blogs I frequent and was very happy to see that it popped up on Hulu. At only 35min, it’s a very short movie, but is so full of inspiration!

What do people who were once paid to be creative for a living do when they’re laid off? They get creative with their own lives. Lemonade is an inspirational film about 16 advertising professionals who lost their jobs and found their calling, encouraging people to listen to that little voice inside their head that asks, “What if?”

Pretty cool piece put on by artist Michele Pred.

Instead, the Berkeley artist slipped into the wall-art section and covertly placed copies of signed prints she had designed into the racks. By the time the store closed Saturday, all 10 prints had been picked up either by IKEA shoppers or a few happy fans of her work who learned about the opportunity on Pred’s Facebook page.

Pred, 44, was “shopdropping,” a practice that has a storied history with artists in the Bay Area and beyond. Sort of the opposite of shoplifting, shopdropping involves leaving goods in unsuspecting stores to sell to unsuspecting customers to make a statement in the name of art.

In Pred’s case, the statement is “You Are What You Buy,” which also happens to be the title of the prints she shopdropped, a commentary on excessive consumerism on a day where excessive consumerism practically is celebrated.

I have to admit, I’ve got a few bad habits that need to be kicked to the curb. So, I was really impressed and inspired by Leo Babauta’s list of 29 Ways to Successfully Ingrain a Behavior. Overall, have faith in yourself that you can overcome the impulses to revert back to negative behaviors; have the strength to reach out when you truly need the help and stay focused!

I know this has been making the rounds fairly heavily, recently, but it’s a fascinating series! Rachel Sussman is searching for and photographing, you guessed it, the oldest living things in the world. Above is: Clonal Mojave Yucca (12,000 + years old; Mojave Desert, CA), Siberian Actinobacteria (400,000 years old; Neils Bohr Institute, Copenhagen) & La llareta (up to 3,000 years old, Atacama Desert, Chile).

I love that she has a well documented map, so one can perhaps find some of these for themselves (even to Antarctica!). You can also read about it in her blog.

The blog is on a bit of a hiatus (in case that wasn’t apparent). I’m working and doing other things that just feel a little more important than finding stuff to blog about. Not sure how long this will last… hopefully not too long…

Until then, I leave you with this, from the incredible Bill Hicks:

Love you all. - Jules
