This Website Has Secrets

There's an easter egg hidden somewhere on this site. Can you find it?

It's a throwback to a hidden message I included in my first few websites. In 5th grade my dad handed me a copy of some website editing software. Web design has been a creative outlet since.

One of the reasons why I blog and keep this site up is to collaborate with folks.

I regularly publish poems and random things with a creative commons license in the spirit of creative collaboration. If you see something that you want to work with, run with it. Let's create something.

Stuck? Here are some creative ways to tell stories online:

Belmont Pranksters Form “Be You Crew” (Highlight Reel)

Thank God for creative college kids with video cameras.

A group of Belmont University kids have formed a new prank-heavy performance art group called Be You Crew. The crew has only been putting out videos for a month, and I’m already impressed. Give then video ideas at beyoucrew.com, where they also highlight Belmont music and students.

Here are the funniest things they’ve done so far:

1. Army crawling hinders a student trying to use the sidewalk

2. Ambush-Saluting students at college rival, Lipscomb University

3. Fishing in the fountains, while security looks on

4. Climbing trees in Gorilla suits and throwing bananas 

The Crew’s website says this started “as a funny dorm room idea by a couple dudes that love to live life as fully as possible. Those dudes are us - Josh and Aaron, roommates on the fifth flo’ of Maddox. With an ambitious and active lifestyle, we try to live every day like it is our last. Long story short, a couple weeks into our second year of schooling at Belmont University, we came up with the Be You Crew.”

They are also taking donations. Half goes to props and equipment and they give half to Front Porch Ministry, a East Nashville relationship-driven ministry.

The Crew posts new episodes on Sunday nights so follow them on twitter or subscribe to their YouTube channel to keep up with the fun.

UPDATE: This post is referenced in the Halogen TV article I wrote about Be You Crew.
