The Davos Question.

Every year many of the world's top leaders attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss how to make the world a better place.

This year, you get to join them.

First, submit a video answering The Davos Question:

"What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?"

Then, starting January 1st, watch and rank others' ideas. The highest-rated videos will be screened in Davos (January 23-27), where world leaders will watch your videos and make responses of their own. Your idea could be the start of something big.

Legal (and delicious) Crack.

I've been drinking obscene quantities of this stuff lately. Delicious - and a methamphetamine-like buzz to boot. A 64oz. jug of heaven will cost you, though - $8.79 at my neighborhood Canseco's. Figure on getting at least 15 hiwatt megaton-strength coffee drinks out of it, though, which beats the hell out of punk Frappacinos up and down the street. Highly recommended, seriously good iced coffee. If you manage to drink the entire 64oz., let me know how it goes. Been there.

Local Wildlife

I don't know where to start with this one. I'm a vegetarian. Love the illustrations. This struck me as really bizarre initially (I'm a city-dweller at heart), but this stuff's probably healthier and safer than most of the mass-produced food product sold in chains. Still - muskrat?

Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality

Each item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate representation in every case. Shiny, neon-orange, liquefied pump-cheese, and all.

Goodbye, Kozmo...

I found this while I was transferring files to a new laptop the other day. When Sue and I lived in San Francisco, we practically lived on Kozmo.com's movies and ice cream. We were blown away when they went under - April 16, 2001 - this was their "goodbye" screen. Around the same time, my employer, marchFIRST, went out of business. In fact, it was aprilFIRST, 2001 when Four|One was launched.
