"I might have tacos when I go home..."

Conneticut Mayor, Joseph Maturo Jr. may have been a littel blasé when discussing discrimination allegations relating to the East Haven Latino community. When asked what his plans were to help the community, the Mayor said "I might have tacos when I go home, I'm not quite sure yet."

The community responded.

Some 500 tacos were delivered to his office Thursday after a Latino activist group called Junta for Progressive Action launched a text-for-tacos campaign to draw attention to the comment, which Maturo later apologized for.

Watching him weasel his way out of it is priceless.

Behind Photographs

Tim Mantoani rounded up photographers and their iconic photos and photographed them for book. Unique to this project, Mantoani used one of a handful of 20x24 Polaroids in existence today. A format created by genius visionary, and founder of the Polaroid company, Edwin H. Land. 

As a sidenote, Behind Photographs started off as a Kickstarter project.

As a side-sidenote, Edwin H. Land also inspired and was considered a hero to another famous visionary; Steve Jobs. 

Generation Flux

The wife brought home the February 2012 issue of Fast Company and urged me to read this piece by Robert Safian. A great read about a mindset we may have already known, but perhaps feared; Generation Flux.

This is less a demographic designation than a psychographic one: What defines GenFlux is a mind-set that embraces instability, that tolerates--and even enjoys--recalibrating careers, business models, and assumptions.

Is it too late to adopt this mindset?
