Motivational videos returned by USPS as “possible threat” – wtf

I believe in self explanatory pictures. — Moses Oliver

So, I produce 3 DVD’s for a young man who lost his sight in a boat racing accident a number of years ago. The videos are to promote his work as a motivational speaker. I put $5 worth of heart stamps on the package and send them off. Yesterday the package shows up back in my mail box. Returned as a possible threat – “due to heightened security requirements.” What’s wrong with this world?

Kevin Meyers video completed

“…words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.” — William Albert Allard

As a young man Kevin Meyers lost his sight in a boat racing accident. Since that life changing event he has earned two degrees, works at Northwestern Mutual’s IT department, and become a motivational speaker. We’ve created this video to help get his message out to folks.

Not for Profit

Some of my efforts go to “not for profit” groups. I’ve developed logos and am currently developing a web site for T:AP (Transcend: Art and Peace). A fellow T:AP member just sent this wonderful link, where we find César López building guitars out of AK-47 assault rifles. Imagine all the weapons in the world converted to musical instruments for 2008. Was a bomb. Now a drum. Happy dancing, peaceful New Year!

Don’t forget Seth Tyler’s sculptural use of hand guns (also my photography and web site design). Let’s ship Seth all those tanks and armored vehicles and see what he can do with them.

Another link, Still Point Zen Center, also shows some logo development as well as a newsletter design. And while we’re on this non-profit subject some of my logo and web work can also be found at Center for Community Stewardship and minimal efforts at The Starfish Foundation. Each of these organizations deserves whatever support we can offer.

Dan Nauman’s Iron and Kevin Meyers’ inspiration

Printing photographs of iron work by Dan Nauman bighornforge.com today. I’ve photographed Dan’s beautiful work for a number of years now, along with developing and hosting his web site. He’ll submit these prints to the National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association http://www.nomma.org/; for consideration in their Top Job competition.

Simultaneously, I’m creating a dvd for Kevin Meyers, a motivational speaker http://www.mytruevision.net. Some years ago I developed Kevin’s logo, letterhead and business card.
