No More Future Salons ...

... well at least in 2006. People are busy during the last weeks of the year and we at Future Salon Headquarter understand.

Therefore the next Future Salon will be in 2007. As I closed the Salon last Thursday: "Let me be the first one to wish you Happy Holidays"

If you have suggestions for speakers or themes or format improvement ideas please let me know.

Shameless promotion for my sister the artist's work. Every year she would surprise us with a simple beautiful unique handmade Christmas Card.

Sometimes they even came with instructions on how to finish them: Cut here, pull around, connect and add a candle in the middle. Voila beautiful addition to your Christmas decoration, or as it mostly was in my case the start of the holiday decoration.

This year for the first time she is sharing some of her inspirations with you and me. Like the one you see to the left. You can even order them and surprise your loved ones with these handmade beauties. Now that these are available, I may even break with my tradition of not sending out cards ;-) 

Update: My sister just informed me, that she is booked out for this year, so sorry that it will not work out this season.

Here's a free idea....for next year...or whenever:

An Alternate Reality TV program that starts as a web based competition to see who can produce [write only initially?] the most accurate news broadcasts from the future. To enter, contestants must have a minimum of 20 brief news casts, one for each of the next 20 years. Once entered into the competition, a contestant can only change scripts six years or more ahead of the present. Those who write the most accurate near term predictions (according to judges, who can never enter as contestants) will move forward in the competition. Contestants will also be judged on the realism of the continuity over the programs. After some period of time [five years?] the top 3[?] can be produced as a TV show. Three different news broadcasts from twenty years in the future. Some interesting questions: will people build loyalty to one particular version, contestant? If they did, would that have an effect on what happens? What if contestants include themselves in the scripts and act out the things predicted, or try to influence others in the direction of the prediction?
