PSA – Kony 2012
In college I took a class about making documentaries to highlight social change. The class was ‘eh’, but the idea of using voice, image and videos to get the word out made a lot of sense. This was also in the age before Facebook and social media, so getting the word out was slightly more difficult. Luckily, the two naturally go hand in hand. After years of posting about somewhat asinine issues, it’s awesome to see the world using social media as a tool for change and freedom. Egypt, The Occupy Movement and GMO vs. Organic food movement are a few examples of how the world is using social media for good.
I’m going to ask you to watch a video on YouTube. It’s a sublime example of documentary, using social media, to create lasting change and real solutions. It’s 30 minutes long, but PLEASE watch it. After you watch it, share it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, whatever social media site(s) you use. This is about an issue that absolutely cannot be ignored any longer. Do it for the children, seriously.

Today was a glorious day. We went from snowshoeing (it went much better than the last time) at Bogus Basin in the morning, to bike riding in the 63 degree weather in the valley. It was like spring time and the people of Boise were out in force soaking up the vitamin D. Today was a perfect reason to live in Boise.
I think Porter’s highlight was our bike ride to the local school’s playground. We saw people playing volleyball, basketball and soccer. The entire time we were playing on the jungle gym he was shouting “BALL! BALL! BALL!” On our ride home he kindly waved and shouted “BYE!” To every person, moving car and animal. He then proceeded to explore our backyard for another 45 minutes where he literally played in the dirt. I think it’s time for a sand box. He was a very happy and tired boy by the end of this very excellent day.

*If you click on the photos it opens them in high resolution and then you can see the true colors and textures.* I have found heaven. A place where it’s always temperate, slightly damp and flowers bloom all year long. It’s Edwards Greenhouse. I think I shall live there. I couldn’t resist showing the rest of the photos I took there today at our garden class.
