What do you want? We mean ‘really’ want?

You can make up lists asking the universe for every little thing your heart desires but what is it that you truly want?

This is the one thing that you really, really want. Above all other things. Got it?

If you don’t know what you want then you’re likely to find inspiration here. It’s ok to take a sneaky peak, it’s inspiring. Just imagine, after exploring the site you might see an I WANT that strikes a cord, that sets wheels in motion. This can change the course of your life. Grand claims indeed, but just imagine you discover that one thing that you truly, truly, above all other things, want.

WHY SHOULD YOU DO THIS?
We’re here to help and you never know, we might help you get what you want if we think you want it hard enough.

HELLO. WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Submitting your Want is really simple. Head on over to the ‘I WANT ‘ page and enter your ‘I WANT’ along with an image that best represents it (creativity is life). Also add a short description telling us (and the rest of the world) why you want, what you want. You might just find that you’re not the only person in the world wanting what you want. No matter how strange it is! But then again you might, and this is what will make getting what you want a reality.

LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION?
There’s a few ways to explore other I WANT’s.

1. You’ve seen or heard about an I WANT, use the search feature found to the top right of every page.

2. You want to search by topic or type (wealth, health etc) use the category search found at the bottom of every page.

3. You find an I WANT you like, click on the tags (found at the bottom of the post) to find similar I WANTS.

4. Last, but far from least, look through all of those I WANT’s that won’t fit on the daily updated homepage. These are carefully filed away by hot librarians in the Archives found to the right of every page. Pick your month and view the lot!

Some times in life you just need to have a really good stretch. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

Think back a few years, you’re sitting in a club, it’s 3am, the place is absolutely heaving and everyone is smoking. The entire club is a fog of cigarette smoke and no one is even slightly bothered. Can you imagine that now? Funny how times change and how quickly!!

The Caught Short Film Festival screens on the first Thursday of each month at the TAP Gallery, Darlinghurst.

Caught Short is not a competition! It is a supportive space where film makers can screen their work and be involved in valuable discussion with an audience and other filmmakers.The Caught Short screenings are intimate and inclusive. The TAP Gallery is a community arts space and provides the perfect place for film makers to become accustomed to public screenings, whilst providing the opportunity to network with other artists, filmmakers, actors, festival organisers and many more.

I wonder what kind of sculpture you can make from a can of red bull. Another fantastic piece of marketing from the red bull team. Currently only happening in the USA but expect it to hit Sydney shores soon…

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. There are roughly 200 videos from some amazing creative minds.

“If you are looking for something that will expand your mind, open your heart, and possibly rekindle your faith in humankind, a good place to start is listening to the fabulously inspiring presentations made by the best and brightest among us.”
— David Sunfellow, nhne.org

“TEDTalks takes conference podcasting to a whole new level. TED is going out of its way to make it as easy as possible for anyone interested to access the speeches, by making them available in five different formats.”
— Huffington Post

“The two best talks I have ever seen … in all the conferences I went to were Al Gore’s on the future of our planet, and Hans Rosling’s on globalization and how we should welcome it. Both speeches changed my ‘worldview’ and are now available on TEDTalks. Congrats to TED for sharing that with all of us.”
— Loïc LeMeur, loiclemeur.com

“These talks are smart, concise, enjoyable and necessary in the world we live in today. TED removes the stereotype of talking heads, and allows the speakers to get to the truly important issues. It’s comforting to know that we still have people like these looking after our nation, our lifestyles and our planet.”
