rambling every day

There is no end of people, words, images, events and intentions that amaze me.

(via Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman Team up to Fight Famine) Batman, Superman and the rest of the Justice League of America are about to start fighting the famine in the Horn of Africa as part of We Can Be Heroes, a massive effort by DC Entertainment, Time Warner and three key NGOs to provide food and nourishment to those in need. The campaign, announced on Monday, will donate up to $2 million over two years to three organizations working to stop the famine: MercyCorps, Save the Children and the the International Rescue Committee. We Can Be Heroes uses the DC Comics line of superheroes — including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and the Green Lantern — to help raise awareness (and money) for a good cause. DC has promised to match any and all donations made through WeCanBeHeroes.org up to $1 million. DC and other Time Warner divisions, such as Warner Bros., will all participate in corporate matching plans wherein any money donated by employees will be matched by their parent organization.

So Much More Than Hot

Distilled vinegar. Red pepper. Salt.

With three common ingredients, Edmund McIlhenny created Tabasco sauce, one of the finest condiments known to man. It’s not just a hot sauce. It’s not just a flavor enhancer. It’s so much more than any single label could ever portray, and yet it’s so simplistic.

Ed didn’t go out and get the fanciest ingredients he could get his hands on, just to make his product “special”. He didn’t add every spice he had in his kitchen either. Just vinegar, pepper, and salt, shaken well. And yet, it’s one of the most versatile and powerful items that people have in their cupboards today. Pizza? Spice it up. Eggs? Variety time. Bloody Mary? Spicy Mary.

It seems that the latest trend is to overcomplicate things. Cram as many features into X, and see what happens. This is true with so many aspects of life. High school kids that involve themselves with anything and everything possible. Companies that attempt to cram every last “modern tech” into their device. Guitarists attempt to fit a gazillion notes into a solo.

Less is more, and more is a waste. Don’t burden yourself by including too much. Strip it to the basics, and let them shine on their own. If the basics aren’t good enough, make them good enough, or change what you’re doing.

Three ingredients, endless possibilities. So much more than hot.

Tobasco sauce. Forever love.
