Cooltural Pick of the Week 5

One Day on Earth

I think that this might be an interesting project for me to do. It is called One Day on Earth and everyone with the camera can participate. All you have to do is register on the One Day on Earth page and deliver a video from this one special day (10/10/10). I will be in Yosemite National Park that day, so maybe something interesting will be born, who knows.

What is One Day on Earth exactly? The website explains it really well:

"On October 10, 2010 (10.10.10), across the planet, documentary filmmakers, students, and inspired citizens will record the human experience over a 24-hour period and contribute their voice to the largest participatory media event in history.

Founded in 2008, ONE DAY ON EARTH is creating an online community, shared archive, and film. Together, we will showcase the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occur in one day. We invite you to join our international community of thousands of filmmakers, hundreds of schools, and dozens of non-profits, and contribute to this unique global mosaic. Through the One Day on Earth platform, we will establish a community that not only watches, but participates."

Call for Action?

America still amazes me. I was driving back from Target and I stopped at this sign:
