Tom Munnecke has a groovy idea, a little social experiment: if many people do something small and inexpensive, like smiling to one another, might it propagate broadly and cause something larger? This Friday, September 12, is the day of the experiment, which you can read more about here. It's a bit like Dave Barry's Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19), only different. More serious, if that makes any sense at all in this context. Please pass the word, or we'll keelhaul ye! Here's more on Tom and his broader initiative, GivingSpace. posted by Jerry Michalski at 1:41 PM
