Recommendations
I could never understand how people could remember offhand the running list of movies, books, shows, or music that left an impact on them. So over the years I’ve been keeping track of the media that’s left a mark on me, and put them together in a ranked/categorized list!
Take a look here! This is by no means meant as my take on a “Best Of,” list. It’s just the works that mattered enough to me to want to remember them.*
Maybe you can find something there that will end up mattering to you too. If you do, feel free to message me and I would love to talk to you about it.
*I used my own invented metrics: 12 metrics ranked on a scale of 10, for a maximum total score of 120.

String Rings – May 2019
a community-oriented currency centered on commitments and accountability
CONCEPT
A physical, visual, and gestural system of tracking one’s different commitments. String rings are categorized into Interpersonal/Emotional, Creative/Collaborative, Social, and Self commitments (detailed in the “Ring Key.”)
APPLICATION
Individuals wear string rings on their Left Hand to represent their “Budget,” or rings they have available to “spend.” Individuals wear string rings on their Right Hand to represent their “Escrow,” or commitments made to them.
Individuals are free to give their rings for anything from small to large commitments, for any time span.
- INTENTION: Rather than wanting to complete a task for the sake of a good reputation or to get your ring back, the completion of the commitment becomes the reward itself. It also allows you to pay it forward and frees up the ring for Person 2 to use.
- METAPHOR: . With the system having the rings constantly change hands, it strongly weaves in the idea of the strings that tether us together. The power of the promise is moved from person to person and constantly builds on itself as commitments are fulfilled again and again. Suddenly, a single ring tells the story of dozens of people.
- COLLECTIVE MINDSET: The life cycle of a single ring will tell the story of how one person’s commitment allowed another one to come to fruition. Rather than an individual-focused system that rewards someone by rewarding the individual, it would promote a collective mindset by framing “allowing someone else to make a commitment” as the reward.
