New Soul just in time for Halloween…
I made an orange paper skull on June 4th, 2007 and posted it online saying, “I’m making a skull a day for a year”. I made my 365th skull on June 2nd, 2008 (and even posted a bonus skull the day after since it was a leap year!). Now in Skull-A-Day 2.0 I’m posting daily submissions from readers.
Take a break from blogging today and spend some time raising awareness about Poverty in the world.
Soul of the Web has decided to participate in Blog Action Day by making a micro-loan to an entrepreneur thru Kiva:
Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.
The people you see on Kiva’s site are real individuals in need of funding – not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs’ profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.
Designing Minds produces a weekly online video series on designers. The show is basically a profile piece on their life as a designer and how their design gets incorporated into everyday life. Our previous guests include Stefan Sagmeister, Marian Bantjes, Elliot Earls, Julia Hoffmann, Alan Dye and Debbie Millman.

Favorite Project – Love Stories
Fascinating photography project from Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek.
Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 13 years.
I’ll have to make a new category for Drawing Projects :-)
