The purpose of this post is to feature some of the repulsive results from the recent Ugly Cake Initiative (We shared our family's experience here). We heartily congratulate all the people who took up the challenge to fight Adultitis by whipping up something ugly in the kitchen. And we offer our sincere condolences to any brave souls who ingested any of the creations. (Although to be fair, most were reported to be very delicious.) Take that, Martha Stewart! Without further ado, check out the gruesome goodness! …
According to the Interwebs, the first week of April is Laugh at Work Week. If there’s one thing work could use more of, it’s laughter. Inspired by our most recent Champion of Childhood award winners who made an epic ugly cake for a co-worker, we are introducing a new Small Rebellion and we'd love to have you join us! It’s called The Ugly Treat Initiative, and the instructions are very simple: The MISSION: Step 1) Make a delicious dessert that also happens to be really, really UGLY. Step 2) Bring it to work to share. Step 3) Enjoy laughter and improved morale with your colleagues. (And …

I have many speaker friends who wish they had a Kim to do for their business what she does for ours. Believe me, I know how lucky I am. There is a reason that Kim gets top billing in the trademark "Kim & Jason." I may be the artist and speaker, but she's the inspiration. She's the lifeblood of our business. She's the one I aspire to be like. Not only is she the world's best business partner, but she's also my wife, best friend, and partner in crime on this crusade to annihilate Adultitis. She's also celebrating a birthday today. (Twenty-nine-ish. Again.) I thought it would be cool to …
Since we like making stuff way more than we like managing inventory, every once in a while, we create something we think is cool, take orders for a week, and then buy the exact number of goodies we need to fill those orders. So whether it’s two or two thousand, I get to make cool things, you get a chance to own them, and we don’t waste any money on stuff that takes up space in our basement. Now, does this mean we will never, ever, EVER offer this product again? Not necessarily. But if you see something you like, your best bet is to snag it while you can. Chances are it won’t be available …

I created this painting last year for the inaugural Escape Adulthood Summit. We used the metaphor of a fish escaping from a fishbowl as a theme. Every group’s table featured a real live goldfish as a centerpiece. And each team used things like noodles and egg cartons and glue to create a “vehicle” their fish could use to escape. The t-shirts everyone received were emblazoned with a depiction of the Bloop! graphic above. And after two days of laughing, thinking, playing, sharing, and eating yummy things, I presented each of the attendees with a print of this image. It’s something I think we …
So I submitted my first shirt to Threadless.com. It's all about mushrooms. It cleared the first hurdle of acceptance, and now it is up for scoring on the web site. If the scores are high enough and the comments prevalent enough, apparently they will consider printing it and offering it for sale on their site. It would be a pretty neat honor for me, and nice exposure for my work. Voting ends on Thursday. If you think it is worthy, I would so very much appreciate it if you'd give it a high score and leave a comment here. Thanks! …

I am a creative person. I like making stuff. What I don't like is managing inventory, trying to guess how many of something to buy, or the idea of living in a warehouse. So we've come up with something we're calling The One Chance Only Sale. Here's how it works: …
