    "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" - Regina Dugan It's a remarkably confronting question - one I suspect you've asked and answered for yourself Ze. So happy to have you back.

    Here are a couple of projects that float my boat - and might spark some ideas. http://www.howtoons.com - is a collaboration between an inventor, comic book artist and a toy designer. The idea is to make real science fun for kids (and their parents) in the hope that more of them grow up to make stuff that benefits society. http://childsown.wordpress.com/ is just beautiful. A stay at home mum takes children's drawings and creates real stuffed toys. I wonder if you could group people together into teams with optimal Q (see page 3 of the article) and set them creative goals? That could be fun - collaborating with people we'd never normally collaborate with. Love that you're coming back Ze. Louis CK proved that someone with mass media popularity can go it alone - you're proving that it's possible without it.

    Great concept - most of the value of getting on board at this stage is being involved in the process. I learned a lot watching how the bicycle portraits kickstarter project launched, chopped, changed, scrambled, hustled and evolved. As a suggestion, I think a video of you talking about this project would be fantastic - I love seeing authors talk about their books on Amazon.
