Doing it Differently Blog Carnival, 13th Edition

Welcome to the 13th edition of the Doing it Differently Blog Carnival!

This carnival is dedicated to the concept of stepping outside of the box and living our lives in ways beyond the "norm"!

Whether you want to learn unique ways to think or act differently, or if you want to share your own unique ideas, this carnival is for you!

There will be a new edition of the carnival posted every month, on the 15th. You can click here to learn more, or click here to submit a post for the next edition, which will be posted on December 15, 2007.

If you like this carnival or if you are one of the authors featured in this edition and you want to help your post to be seen by as many people as possible, be sure to add this post to Stumbleupon, Digg, or your favorite social bookmarking site!

In this edition, we get well outside of the comfort zone, we create our own identities, and we even learn how to make money from trees. Enjoy!

1) Michael shares a great story of living life way outside of the comfort zone with his post Upon Meeting The 100% Perfect Moncton Girl. No Top 10 list on how to make your life better; just a chord in the song of an entertainer who shares a moment worth reliving.

2) Guys – ever wondered which of your body parts get the most attention from females? Ladies – do you have a favorite piece of the male physique that you like to caress with your eyes? Check out Women's Favorite Male Body Parts and see if the human landscape is as visually tilled as you would have expected!

3) In his post Creating Social Value in Your Identity, Scott gives us some great ways to consciously create our persona, rather than letting it be dictated by outward circumstances. Don't be ashamed if you scream "common sense!" after reading this, but then realize that you haven't actually been doing these things.

4) In a true testament to the fact that the Doing it Differently blog carnival is about exactly that (rather than the normal personal development fare here at Today is that Day), allow me to introduce the very useful post Broke? Alcoholic? How to Drink on a Dime: 10 Surefire Tips from Free Geekery. Hey, if you're gonna drink, why not save some money??

5) For some truly unique around the house tips, be sure to check out 27 Helpful Home Improvement Hints. Who would have thought that toilet paper rolls and the freezer would be so useful?

6) What is more important; individual thought, or group consciousness? In the post The wiki way of thinking, this idea is explored in detail, and several interesting and thought-provoking points are brought up. 

7) Think that you've got the real estate market all figured out? What if you could radically raise the value of your property just by planting trees? Get all of the details in the post Curb Appeal: One Of My Best Investments Yet Or How I Turned $80 Into $5,000 With Minimal Risk.

8) In a post that reminds us of the true nature of things (rather than the "normal" mentality), the quote "When disaster strikes it is too late to cram for survival skills." is alone worth the price of admission.  Check out Life vs School – Life vs Job for all of the details!

That wraps up the 13th edition of the Doing it Differently Blog Carnival! Many thanks to all of our authors, and don't forget to add this post to your favorite social bookmarking website!

Apologies for this short, abridged edition. I have changed the Doing it Differently Blog Carnival to monthly instead of bi-monthly, so more time will now be available to include a higher number of great posts for your Doing it Differently pleasure! 

The next edition will be posted on December 15, 2007, and the closing of this edition is also the official call for submissions for the next one! Get the inside scoop on what this carnival is all about and access the submission form as well by clicking right here.
