Good Fridays by The Karma Army
Do something Good this Friday. Tell me what it was. Tell me whether it made you feel better. Tell me if anything good happened to you in the two days that followed. If karma exists, you are the living proof.
Click here to tell me what you did…
The more good deeds you do, the higher up in the Karma Army you will rise. Maybe one day you will able to say you are a Sergeant in the Karma Army. Maybe one day youa€™ll even make it to Major. Imagine that!
Have a look at this happy old mana€™s face… why is it happy? Because Joinee Dixon of London works in a bar called Malibu, and gave this man a free beer, in the name of Join Me and The Karma Army!
Could you do something similar this Friday? Or any day? If you do, be sure and tell me about it!
Get involved in The Karma Army! Today! And every Friday, too!
Well done, Joinees.

Real Talk - Militaristic Beautification
Thanks to Mr. Menace for the link. This ish is pretty ill for real. I wish someone would do something like this in the hood. Like I don’t know… the city. You should watch this video even despite the fact that the commercial is annoying and it continues playing well past you’ve watched what you were trying to watch.
Apr. 29 - A group of so-called ‘guerrilla gardeners’ go on a night dig in London, England to beautify some orphaned public land. Richard Reynolds, founder of online blog Guerrillagardening.org has been illicitly cultivating neglected public spaces for the past four years. He’s now written a book, ‘On Guerrilla Gardening’, which covers the movement’s history and offers tips and advice for those who want to get involved, especially for those who want to focus on neglected public urban spaces. Michelle Carlile-Alkhouri reports. [Link]
Earth Day Competition: 350 is the New Green
350 is the new green is the new black is the new new. 350 is the number that scientists have determined will define the future of the Earth. 350 parts per million is the critical atmospheric CO2 concentration we need to achieve, and with haste. Currently, we are at 385 ppm. Bill McKibben and 350.org have started an international campaign to create awareness about 350 and to get people active in making it happen.
We at GreenMNP want to get active. And we want YOU to help! So, herein lies a challenge: design a dope 350 postcard for 350.orga€™s 350 Postcard Project and submit a photo/PDF of your postcard to green.suggest@myninjaplease.com. We will pick a winner 35.0 days from now, on Tuesday, May 27. Winner will receive their choice of these three books: a signed copy of The Bill McKibben Reader, Green Roof - A Case Study by Christian Werthmann, and Shopping Our Way to Safety by Andrew Szasz, not to mention supreme ninja credibility. First runner up will get their choice of the remaining two books and second runner up will get the third book. Furthermore, we at GreenMNP will distribute copies of all the 350 postcard entries we receive to 350 important politicians/organizations/thinkers/Earth lovers/Earth haters and anyone else you want. If you can think of someone in particular you would like us to send a postcard to, comment to this post with their name and postal and/or email address (if you dona€™t know their address, wea€™ll do our best to find thema€¦ninjas are fairly resourceful).
The postcard should be an expression of YOU, why you love the planet and why you want to see our atmospheric CO2 concentration drop down to 350 ppm. A word from the 350ers themselves:
In words, collages, drawings, or any other form on the back of these postcards, we want to hear from people all around the world why ita€™s worth it for you, your community, and the rest of the world to aim for 350 parts per million.
Of course, you should submit your entries to 350.org as well. Or, if you prefer, we will submit your entry to them anyway.
Mail a scanned image or photo to postcards@350.org or attach a stamp and drop it in the mail to our San Francisco office at 1370 Mission St., San Francisco, CA 94103.
If you are from another land, fear not: 350 is the same in every language, and words are easily translated c®€aA"aAAae-a Deutsch EspaA±ol FranA§ais Hrvatski Italiano i•oeeµAi-A PortuguAASs Svenska aea¥aeoeAeAS A§U"AAA±AAUSA©

Walk the Earf : No Chaser Just Sprite
For a couple of months (since I became aware of this event), I wondered what exactly the event would be like. All I had to go by was that darn poster and it didn’t reveal much. I arrived at Wicker Park around 6:53 or so and began the beginning of the end of the night. Where was I supposed to stand or even team up with? What were the teams?
Having not to have wanted to immerse myself in SF0 just quite yet, my first real task at hand was now on the table.
A welcoming greeting was given by the curator as the fury of speculation and clusters became more evident….then the rules were given out. The cameras blazed and the fountain sparkled. I wondered how in the world the map and blue arm band that were given to me were going to shield me from those that seemed to know more than me. I lay cautious, muddled a few questions and then read the rules. And then stared at the map for a long while. The horn lit and I was out like cake from the oven and frankly ran where everyone else started to run- southeast- hopped the fence and then looked for a team…..
I assimilated immediately and dropped out immediately.. Luckily before reaching the first checkpoint at baker’s square I flocked in formation..and then had a tasty vegan cup cake (that had been previously promised for those that ended up at the finish line (chased or not)). Thankfully I had cribbaged amongst two Art Institute students and somehow we evaded those damn chasers. In between the first and the second checkpoint was where our wits were fully checked. We had been cornered in an alley with water cauldrons blocking the only secret exit. I climbed them anyway to only see that the secret exit was just a secret and then camped out under a semi for a couple of minutes. Then we booked flight around the corner and glanced at the chasers from then on out.
We made it to the runway behind the rerouted sixth checkpoint about 4 hours after the game had begun with our completed manifests and rejoiced with more cupcakes and conversation of settlement, along with the other 44 manifesters.
What was buffalo hunting strategy? What should be thought about magnetic rings? How do you do a rested back flip?
There could only be a Runner Trophy and one Chaser Trophy. They were awarded and those of merit, courage and valor nested in admiration.
Thanks to Dax and the SF0 crew for really relaying a great Chicago experience that I will remember for a lifetime. Below you will find some wallpapers that tell stories of that night.

Hack your Wii Remote

This ninja here [Johnny Lee] has been putting videos on the internets for a little while now, showing us all how to hack our Wii remotes for a better virtual gaming experience, and more.
Why you should listen to him:
To understand Johnny Lee, just take a look at his personal Projects page. Aside from his Wii Remote hacks — voted the #1 tech demo of all time by Digg — you can see all the other places his mind has turned: typography, photography, urban renewal … to say nothing of his interesting sideline in Little Great Ideas, like the hypnotic "___ will ___ you."
When he’s not hacking Wiimotes, Lee is a graduate student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University [from TED].

Hippie Bars
As with most things hippie, they taste better than they look. From Eat Peace Please, which (we wish we could say) is our sister site.
I tested another recipe from Catherine the other day. These are raw Hippie Bars, which consist of dates, agave nectar, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, flax and hemp seeds. That’s it! They were super-fast and easy to make, all you need is a bowl and a fork and a fridge (oh, and some Dead playin’ in the background). In this case, I had to measure exactly, but from now on I plan on going with what I know best- throwing a bunch of ingredients together and coming up with something great. Thanks for a wonderful recipe Catherine, the rest of the world will soon get to taste how fabulous and lightly sweet these are… [read the rest]
Awesome dude.
Open Source Insurgency
Superempowerment — an increase in the ability of individuals and small groups to accomplish tasks/work through the combination of rapid improvements in technological tools and access to global networks — has enabled small groups to radically increase their productivity in conflict. For example, if a small group disrupts a system or a network by attacking systempunkts, it can amplify the results of its attacks to achieve as much as a 1,400,000 percent return on investment.
Open source warfare is an organizational method by which a large collection of small, violent, superempowered groups can work together to take on much larger foes (usually hierarchies). It is also a method of organization that can be applied to non-violent struggles. It enables:
- High rates of innovation.
- Increased survivability among the participant groups.
- More frequent attacks and an ability to swarm targets.
