Well, take a break, and find some smart ideas to simplify things, improve products and make life better all around.

The day to day routine serves its purpose. But here's what I've noticed.

It's all the random acts - the things we do beyond routine that punctuate our day - that really define how well we live our lives.

So what if we made a point of choosing *smart* random acts?

How do we make best use of our intelligence to really think through the way we live?

Whether we do little things here and there, or make thoughtful changes to the routine of our lives and our society, we'll impact the world.

In fact, if you think about it, it's impossible NOT to change the world.

We all need the basics - food and water, clothing and shelter. But, the how, what and where of the choices we make have a huge impact.

And, of course it doesn't end there. The way we get around matters. The way we educate our kids matters. The way we communicate matters. The way we govern our society matters.

Each individual choice just feels like a random act, but taken together it creates the tapestry of our lives.

And of course, there are always the BIG ISSUES that we need to figure out as a society.

How will we deal with huge changes in our economy?

How will we deal with the twin issues of climate change and a depletion of oil?

How do we take our intelligence in ways big and small to create a smarter way of living?

This site is about gathering possible answer to these questions - smart, random acts that we can use to improve life.

In a way that makes sense now and also for the future.

In a way that feeds the body, mind and soul.

In a way that's joyful.

Look around the site and see what smart ideas may make sense for you.
