SoulPancake

I’m sure most of us are already aware that the world kicks ass because Rainn Wilson is in it, but did you know that he’s also behind the website SoulPancake?

What is SoulPancake? Well, it’s more of a mission than a Web site…

We want to make discussions about Spirituality, Creativity, and Philosophy cool again. Were they ever cool? I have no idea. But it seems like a good idea. We want to engage the user to “Chew on Life’s Big Questions”™. (I was kidding about the ™ symbol; you can use that phrase however you want. Even to sell frozen taquitos.) Where do you go on the Interwebs if you want an irreverent, fun, and profound take on God and Art and the Soul and Faith and Beauty? Fox.com? Maybe. But maybe also here at SoulPancake.com.

We provide some rockin’ content (interviews, blogs, challenges, contests, features, and more), but it’s really all about having YOU—the SoulPancake community—bring this site to life. Say what’s on your mind. Be real. Talk about WHY WE’RE HERE. And if I say something that offends you, let me have it.

Just remember: Life is a rich, weird, difficult experience. So join us as we go on the spiritual and artistic journey that is SoulPancake.

One of my favourite discoveries from SoulPancake was the following video. I know “flashmobbing” has been done a thousand times already, but there was something particularly awesome about this little stunt at Grand Central Station.

From ImprovEverywhere.com, over 200 people freeze in place on cue in Grand Central Station in New York.
