Download Free 2012 Calendars (PDF)

I've been designing and giving away free calendars for the last 10 years. This year's calendars:

"Psychic Barber" features a photo of the neon sign at Rick’s Barber Shop in West Seattle and a QR barcode that tangentially relates to the sign itself. The neon sign is real and yes there's a story behind it.

"Soup" is a still life photo with a message floating in a bowl of soup. The photo was done by madmoo. The QR code in the photograph is worth scanning and especially if you're hungry and like to cook.

"Cairn" is a simple and serene image of a cairn, the pile of stones used as a trail marker. Jerry is transfixed by cairns whenever he comes across one while hiking in the Cascades. (trivia: JetCityOrange began as a site called "The Cairn Project".)



All of the 2012 calendars are available online right now! JetCityOrange.com/calendar

#OccupyOakland & #OccupyWallStreet Protest Advice

Watch these videos to learn how the police act and respond. The news media videos give overviews but the YouTube videos give you an idea of what you'll experience in the streets. Watch & Learn!

Watch the police Where are they? What do you think their game plan is? Is it a sweep or a pinch? What are they lining up to do to you?

Know where you are Learn the local geography beforehand. Look at maps. Street layout, escape routes, deadends. Know your options.

Think in advance What are you prepared to do? Stand your ground, go to jail, retreat? Be prepared to change your plan in response to unfolding events.

Know the people around you Are you along or with friends? Strangers or familiar faces? Talk to them before anything happens. Are there those you feel you can count on? Are there those who may need your help or assistance?

What's the weather? It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. If tear gas or other chemical agents are going to be used, are you upwind or downwind?

Take video & photos I always begin by photographing the police before anything happens including badge numbers and faces. Don't provoke them but stand your ground, up close and personal. Act as a witness, collect evidence, share it with the world.

Think, don't panic. Take care of yourselves, take care of others.

And don't forget, we're going to win!

The Next Dalai Lama, HHDL's Official Statement

Blinded by their own ignorance borne of samsara, Beijing would love to manipulate the recognition of the next Dalai Lama. This is His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's take on all this. It's a great read both for its historical background and the clarity of His position and intentions. http://dalailama.com/messages/tibet/reincarnation-statement

If you run the risk of being arrested taking part in #OccupyWallStreet or one of the numerous #OccupyTogether events, you may be arrested. I suggest installing "I'm Being Arrested", a free Android app beforehand. I'm Being Arrested is free and available in the Android Market. All you do is configure it beforehand with SMS numbers of lawyers, family and friends along with a custom SMS message. then with a push of a button everyone is alerted to your changed status.
