• Summer 2010: at CMH chalking car windows with Becca and Micah Cribbs
  • We wandered through the parking lot leaving kind messages on the windows of parked cars, messages like: "Have a nice day!" "You're wonderful!" "Pinocchio!" And as we left a security car come screeching around the street. We dropped our window-chalk paint as the car approached and told us to stay here and wait till the police arrived. We're freaking out. Until Officer Gammell shows up and we set the story straight. "Well, I'd actually kind of like someone to write that on my car," Officer Gammell said. Apparently there had been some thefts in the CMH parking lot earlier that week. Go figure. They wished us well and we continued on our way...

Thank you for this Tweet Alex Prestel.

• Be authentic. The most powerful asset you have is your individuality, what makes you unique. It’s time to stop listening to others on what you should do.
• Work harder than anyone else and you will always benefit from the effort.
• Get off the computer and connect with real people and culture. Life is visceral.
• Constantly improve your craft. Make things with your hands. Innovation in thinking is not enough.
• Travel as much as you can. It is a humbling and inspiring experience to learn just how much you don’t know.
• Being original is still king, especially in this tech-driven, group-grope world.
• Try not to work for stupid people or you’ll soon become one of them.
• Instinct and intuition are all-powerful. Learn to trust them.
