Be careful when trying to improve productivity in your office. Spying on employees does not lead to productivity, it leads to negativity and animosity.

Jenny wasn’t prepared to quit over it, but it pushed her to a point where all it took was one small comment.

And when she did quit, she quit with a bang. The kind of bang that makes here a GregPike.ca Hero.

Here’s Jenny’s photographic story:

From theCHIVE: Girl quits her job on dry erase board, emails entire office (33 Photos)

Editors Note: theCHIVE has come out and pointed out that this is a hoax.

The Uniform Project was started as a means to raise money for less fortunate children through the Akanksas Foundation.

What she has done is inspiring both from a fashion perspective and from a humanitarian perspective.

At the end of Year 1 she raised $80,607, enough to keep 223 children in schools with uniforms and school supplies.

I wish I had discovered this early such that I could have promoted it and encouraged my readers to contribute.

Are you someone who is turned on by lack of power?

Do you want to make a statement even though only 14% of people are listening?

No, I’m not talking about GregPike.ca. It’s Jack Layton’s Indignation. A skit from The Mercer Report.

I have been watching a lot of The Mercer Report lately and I have been loving it. It’s worth a watch.

Not many people knows his name but Walter Frederick Morrison was the creator of the popular Frisbee disc.

Walter Fred Morrison - inventor of the Frisbee

60 years ago this man threw around a pie plate that has since become an important part of our lives.

Today he has passed away.

Without Fred Ultimate (Frisbee) would not exist, a sport that has been a huge part of my life for the past eight years.

Thank you Fred.

A few years ago my friend Joe Coffey and I sat down to eat some fries from the Ziggies van in Churchill Square and a mountain of ketchup packets.

When we were applying the ketchup we exchanged our annoyances with the design of standard ketchup packets.

Firstly, the packets never contains the right amount of ketchup. You always find yourself opening multiple packets.

Second, they always make a mess. You have to squeeze the ketchup through the rip in the corner. It’s hard not to get ketchup on your fingers.

We thought surely there must be a better design.

The biggest problem is affordability. Restaurants are not going to pay extra for a ketchup packet that is larger and cleaner. The current design is very efficient.

Joe and I thought of many options but narrowed it down to one perfect design. We shared it with a few people in the industry and it garnered a little excitement.

Unfortunately it ended there. We didn’t persue it any further.

Recently Heinz released a new ketchup packet design. It’s more or less the same design Joe and I created with some minor differences. Here is their new design:

I try and avoid being too liberal with presenting people as GregPike.ca Heroes, but this guy just struck all the right chords for me.

The costume is a Rebel scout from the planet Hoth riding a tauntaun. It’s pretty flawless.

What’s more incredible is the process that was used to create this costume.

Check out this costume as the tauntaun is moving.

Sorry I have not been around to post much lately. If I haven’t been bedridden with H1N1 I’ve been working, packing to move, renovating, or otherwise occupying my time away from my computer.

I don’t expect posts to really pick up anytime soon as the process of moving is time consuming, especially with so few days left before I am out. I will try to squeeze a couple posts in however.
