Weird and wonderful, the blogs I’ve been reading
I need to share a few of the things I’ve been reading on the blogosphere recently. Hope you enjoy this mix.
A film to make you smile.

Organised thinking
Tips on organising your thinking, self motivation and following up on ideas from Paul Merril based upon the book, Hot Wiring Your Creative Process, by Curt Cloniger.
One of the useful parts suggests making little cards with concepts on them to stimulate your thinking. The ideas can be actions or thoughts. The idea is to pull out a few when you are facing a creative block.
My friend Ed made some little notes – without even reading the book. (I’m guessing on that point.) Some of his ideas: “Sort out 3 things to go to a charity shop” and “Scan in a pattern”.
The $100 tip
From Eric’s blog, again, the story of the $100 tip, given to change someone’s life.
A good friend of mine shared with me how he felt compelled to give a $100 tip for a meal which cost much less. He included a note encouraging her to use the money to live out her dreams.

I Am Second
Again, from Eric…, although I’m going to stop linking to him now before he gets an overrated Google rank. : )
I Am Second is a collection of stories from actors, sports stars, musicians… about their journey with faith. Lots of different points-of-view, backgrounds, lives… including actor Steve Baldwin and Brian Welch from Korn.
