The Center for Improved Living - Questions

Site Update

2010-03-04T15:18:00.000-08:00

Is the new comments system a downer here? Had to switch cause the other company tanked. You can post youtube video responses now, which was something I wanted to do long ago. We can start to play with that a little if you like.

Let me know how you are feeling; I want to revive TCFIL Questions site again.

Thanks,
Marc

Hi All,

I wanted to apologize for being such a slacker with this blog as of late. I have been busy with my latest project, The Signature Series. For this, I signed my name on a US map and then drove that route. Along the way I "improved" 19 towns that fell along my signature's path. These "improvements" include starting an Anonymous Semi-Nudist Colony in Nampa, Idaho and burying an entire town's problems in Craig, Colorado.

Currently, 8 out of 20 episodes are on crackle.com, and new episodes are released every Tuesday and Friday. You can see them all at http://www.crackle.com/signature

I hope you all are having a great summer and don't go anywhere, I promise to be back with new posts very shortly!

See ya,
Marc

P.S. Here are two of my favorite episodes so far:
Teaching the elderly how to find their power animals - http://crackle.com/c/Signature_Series#id=2326278&ml=o%3D12%26fpl%3D302599%26fx%3D
Anonymous Semi-Nudist Colony - http://crackle.com/c/Signature_Series#id=2331576&ml=o%3D12%26fpl%3D302599%26fx%3D

P.S.S I think this counts as the "World's Largest Virtual Signature."
