Happy New Year, all!

I’m not huge on resolutions, since it seems a bit silly to reserve new endeavors and changes in lifestyle for that one day. Life’s a process, not a schedule. But if you’re into that sort of thing, here are a few ideas:

Make Something Cool Every Day, like Mark Weaver

and Brock Davis did.

Resolve to donate to non-profits and independent projects more often. I gave small amounts to some of my favorite organizations and projects around Christmas time. It’s awesome to know that my tiny contributions are helping out great causes. Some suggestions:

• 826 National, a nonprofit tutoring, writing, and publishing organization with locations in seven cities across the country.
• The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a donor-funded nonprofit that supports and defends digital rights.
• Rhizome, which supports the creation, presentation, and preservation of art engaged with the internet and new technology.
• Eyebeam, an art and technology center that provides tools for digital research and experimentation.
• NUTUREart, an organization dedicated to helping emerging artists.
• The Teacher Salary Project, a feature-length documentary film, interactive online resource, and national outreach campaign that delves into the U.S. educational crisis, as seen through the eyes of teachers.
• WNYC, makers of such awesome programs as Radiolab.



If neither of those suit your fancy, you can always use the Resolution Generator. (via swiss miss)
