Upgrade!

August 27, 2011 · 0 comments

Over the years I’ve created a few personal websites – this blog, a photo site, a site for sharing quote, etc – and I’ve finally done something that’s been a long time coming: I consolidated all the goodness into one super-site called HeyItsDrew.com!

On HeyItsDrew, I post in nine categories: photos, books, quotes, music, videos, adventures, ideas, projects, and friends.

I really like the new format and I think you will too.  Check it out and don’t forget to update your subscription by using the small form in the left sidebar of the new site or subscribe here now so you don’t miss out.

May 9, 2011

I just finished reading “It this Is a Man and The Truce” by Primo Levi, an account of his time at the concentration camp at Auschwitz, and after liberation by the Russians in 1945, his long and twisted journey home to Italy. The book is two separate volumes. The fist, “If This Is a Man” [...]

March 13, 2011

Did you ever build a tree house when you were a kid? What about a fort? Did you ever gather the neighborhood kids to play a game or have a summertime water fight? Looking back on childhood, I noticed something interesting about the very best adventures — Each crazy adventure started with us kids sitting [...]

How to Start Playing Big

February 19, 2011

I’m starting to weed out self-defeating habits.  Most of those habits are mindsets that weaken me; mindsets that prevent me from using my natural talents to the utmost.  In 2011, that changes. Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. [...]

WARNING – Extreme Gravity Expected this Weekend

January 24, 2011

Gravity is boring.  It’s always the same.  But what if it changed every day like the weather? “Wait, better check the gravity forecast before we make plans this weekend. Oh wow, on Saturday gravity will be down to 25%!” Extreme gravity would probably close schools and cancel sporting events. “The basketball game this evening has [...]

A Formula for Thrills

January 22, 2011

Are you a thrill seeker? I’ve created a very simple formula (nerd glasses: on) to calculate thrill. The first time I went snowboarding I was terrified. Unlike skateboarding, which I’ve done for years, you cannot jump off of a snowboard. You’re strapped in for the ride. Cue panic. Going too fast? Scream for people to [...]

Video Games, Instant Rewards, and The Death of “Stick with It”

January 10, 2011

Welcome to the generation of live feedback – where technology enables instant social interaction and video games are more immediately rewarding than real life (and don’t forget “always on” digital entertainment). Consider these two facts: Technology is changing at a mind-numbing pace. Technology drives cultural change. The cultural change that troubles me is this: People [...]
