When Designing A City, Maybe We Should Get Kids’ Input. After All, It Will Be Theirs Soon Enough (Video)
February 7, 2018
You know that song by Whitney that goes, “I believe that children are our future”… Put that on play in your mind as the backing track for this TEDx Talk.
As adults, we think of kids as “future citizens.” Their ideas and opinions will matter someday, but not today — there must be a reason the voting age is 18, right? But kids make up 25% of the population — shouldn’t we include them in some important conversations? In this inspiring talk, urban planner Mara Mintzer wonders what would happen if we let children design our cities. Mara Mintzer is a founder and the director of Growing Up Boulder.

Makes sense. The kids will ‘inherit’ these cities. Maybe they should have say so.

Remember When That Cliffside Shop Was Giving Out Free Jackets? (Video)
October 25, 2017
Ah! Here’s what looks like a winner for best response to when bae pops up like, “Honey, let’s go shopping,” all excited and *ish. Just make sure bae’s not a climbing enthusiast, and you can have your weekend back… Sheeeeit! They haven’t made a jacket worth a death-defying rock climb. Sorry, so NOT sorry. HA!
A pop-up clothing shop lets you get warm 300 feet up.
Cocona set up a shop 300 feet in the air in Colorado’s Eldorado Canyon. Climbers earned the clothing simply by making the ascent up the canyon’s Bastille Wall — no purchase necessary.
Cocona wants to show off their clothing, which is based on “37.5 technology” — it keeps climbers’ body temperature at 37.5 degrees Celsius, or 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Many climbers claim that temperature is ideal for endurance.

The ‘Willy Wonka’ Of Weed (Documentary)
September 25, 2013
“Anybody can make a ‘pot brownie’…”
– Tripp Keber
The National Geographic channel brings us a different kind of eye candy… for all you tokers’ taste buds. Legal weed is a coming business reality y’all. Bet on it. Pot entrepreneur Tripp Keber is. He creates pot-infused candy, sodas and other potent edibles in Colorado – since it’s been legalized in the state. He’s been dubbed ‘The Willy Wonka of Weed.’ (like “Willy Wonka” ain’t a ‘weed movie’ already). Watch Keber trying to give us a different way for folks to get a ‘mile high’ in the state of Colorado mind. Check out the Nat Geo clip above.
