I have another favourite worth sharing: “Big”, a 1988 flick starring Tom Hanks. It is a wonderful example of the power of play, and inspired micro-adventures! One of my favourite scenes is the “chopsticks” duet

Have you seen the new NIMB ring that acts as a panic button, summoning help from local emergency response teams, friends and family, and an online community? This is one Kickstarter I’m going to be backing before it closes at the end of this July!
