Final Project (11-2)

I'm been thinking a lot about where we can go from here.  How do we, as a country, move forward?  I feel like the reason we're in this mess in the first place is a lack of communication between sides.  It's easy for us to sit in our educated bubble and share articles with each other and feel right, but we are not the majority in this country and no one outside of the bubble is hearing our thoughts.  I think one solution is to start communicating with people outside of the bubble.  Respectful conversations where we hear each other's opinions, hopes and fears, and hopefully exchange facts.  I want to create an online forum to facilitate these conversations.  I think I will make the creation and promotion of this forum my final project.  My words were 'Creative Code', 'Community' and 'Performance' so I think this idea will fit well.  To begin I bought the domain name endthebubble.com and I used the VersaCamm vinyl printer/cutter at my work to create stickers advertising the site.  I think the performance element will involve me standing somewhere public handing out the stickers to advertise the site.  If I can afford it I want to buy some cheap bubble wands to hand out with the stickers too.  Before I do any of that though I want to get the site up and running, and hopefully have some posts already up on the forum to get people started.  I'm thinking it will be a Wordpress site and I will learn about how to tweak the codes a bit to make the site more customized.
