expecting the unexpected in Mexico

Unas de las razones que me disfrutaba viviendo en Mexico – cada dia, nunca sabia que va a ocurrir.  Como esta desfile que encontremos durante nuestra caminata a la UAQ:

en ingles:

I think one of the reasons I enjoyed living in Mexico so much, was because on a daily basis, I never quite knew what to expect.  Such as this parade that we randomly encountered when walking to school one day:

hairballs, creativity and bedbury

After the branding America workshop a few weeks back, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with a few fellow students, professors, and Scott Bedbury and Stu Redsun.  At one point, we began discussing the Curiosity for Strategists class taught by Dave, which led me to discuss the term project – take something you are curious about, study it for the ten week term, and present the findings to the class.  For my curiosity project, I researched how various school curriculums fail to include creativity and “outside the box” teaching/learning methods

So with this said, Scott Bedbury recommended the book: Orbiting the Giant Hairball by Gordon MacKenzie:

orbitting the giant hairball

I’ve been reading the book since it arrived in the mail a few days ago and…love it!  The basic premiss of the book is to discuss why the incorporation of creativity and “outside the box thinking” is crucial to success.  

In addition to the text, the book includes beaaaautiful images such as:  

  mindmap
orbiting the giant hairball

These mind maps and flow charts make me feel better about my note taking habits.  Such as these notes from my span 490 class:

Or the NVC campaign class last year:

beatboxing and cultural studies

This afternoon I began thinking of the day we learned to beatbox in choir back in high school.

So, of course I had to stop what I was doing and watch 20 minutes of YouTube beatboxing videos.  I came across one in particular I feel obliged to share because:

     A.  I leave for Israel in T-minus 11 days…what better way to kick-start my study of the Jewish culture, right? (-;

     B.  On a more serious note, what better example of not judging a book by it’s cover – by passing him on the street, would you know this guy was a reggae, rap and beatboxing musician??
