And of course, the other work they do (creative writing & tutoring centers)

But I am especially fond of this section of their website:
Open Letters To People Or Entities Who Are Unlikely To Respond.

And, for the women out there, these 2 letters are my favorites:
An Open Letter To Mr. James Thatcher, Brand Manager, Procter & Gamble.
An Open Letter To Officials Of The United States Government Regarding What’s New In My Reproductive Area.

Enjoy!

whatikilledtoday.blogspot.com

I work with a lot of injured wildlife. Also not wild animals that are just in a lot of pain. Sometimes I have to euthanize them. I decided to record each animal I euthanize here.

From Manhattan Neighborhoods to Real Maps Reassembled Into Non-Existent Places, this is a site worth exploring.

I stumbled upon this online portfolio and was immediately inspired, not just by the way he uses flash and video, but by the obvious passion he has for these projects.

Make My Logo Bigger - www.makemylogobiggercream.com
Graphic and web designers will appreciate this one

Ban Comic Sans - http://bancomicsans.com/home.html
They do have a point. Once you start looking for this font, you’ll find it everywhere!

Cats in Sinks - www.catsinsinks.com
animal lovers do have the kookiest sites

And this is my personal favorite, a whole site dedicated to people that don’t like Hummers, specifically the H2:
www.fuh2.com
I do have to give them credit for a very cool poster:

Here are a few personal quests, some complete and some in progress:

Kyle MacDonald completed his quest of trading one red paperclip for a house - oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com
and now it’s a book One Red Paperclip: Or How an Ordinary Man Achieved His Dream with the Help of a Simple Office Supply

Matt traveled around the world dancing - Where the Hell is Matt?
Matt dances very badly, but most people don’t seem to mind.

Sean Aiken is still seeking his passion - One Week Job
Offer him a job!

Jason Lewis just finished circumnavigating the globe using only human power - Exploration 360
it only took 13 years
