Boom Boom! Revolution

What an adventure!
A nine hour ride to LA in Rosie the Boom Boom! Bus. Ran out of gas en route (dorks!). Went to a taping of “The Ellen Show”. Drove all over LA filming season two footage for “Journey to Ellen”. Spent two days handing out Boom Boom! Cards to some awesome celebrities. Made another [...]

Last Wondering Wednesday we posed the question, “What was the best book you read this summer?” With so many great & varying responses, we thought it might be nice to compile the list for those of you looking for a new book recommendation as we head into Fall. Boom Boom!

The language being used in internet social networking has been captivating me lately. It’s not so much a fascination with how easily we can all communicate with one another. Nor is it the intrigue of finding like-minded, like-hearted people with whom to connect. If either of those concepts were even slightly interesting to [...]

The rhythm of our lives creates the music of our days. Hmmmmm. I’m wondering if I’ve heard that somewhere before or if I’ve reached a new understanding of life…an epiphany so to speak…or at least a deep thought worth contemplating.

Last summer I took a series of Warrior Yoga classes from a sensei up at UCSC. I’m not exactly the yoga type…not very flexible and when I work out, I want to sweat, not chant (that shows you my yoga ignorance). Those classes kicked my butt! And they were also great for pushing on some [...]

I played point guard in high school (that’s basketball for you non sports folks). No surprise if you’ve seen my legs and definitely no surprise if you’ve seen how slow I am. I had to make up for the short legs and lack of quickness by being smart on the court. My coach used [...]

One of the great luxuries I have in traveling a lot with my job is that I get to work out at times other than my usual 5:30 am. So last month, I was watching the Ellen Show and a conversation I heard between her and Chris Matthews from Hardball with Chris Matthews has stuck with me. And as the inauguration date is getting nearer, their conversation has come back to me.

Although we’d designed and printed our first round of Boom Boom! Cards in February 2007, the idea of having a companion website that allowed us to track these revolutionary acts of kindness as they made their way across the globe took shape a few months later in a local loungy location where we stepped out [...]
