That's Victor Saad jumping for joy... or maybe he just found out how much a college education costs these days! Probably the former. Victor and his Experience Institute completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to launch the Leap Kit, a journal and system to carry you through a meaningful 90-day projects. 

I'm one of 588 backers that raised $49,736 to create the Kit. I'll be using my Kit to help focus my attention on a little side project: Access to Video. You can help fund A2V initially by becoming a "patron" for video literacy by pledging $3 a month... As you know, that's the amount of just one cup of coffee for a whole month! Go to our Patreon page HERE and pledge today! A2V.org website HERE.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
