Everyday Genius: Be the peeper you always wanted to be

This week, like right now, at Everyday Genius, Matt Bell will be writing, LIVE. He's got a paragraph now, by Tuesday, he'll have a story, hopefully. Tuesday night, Michael Kimball will guest edit/write. Wednesday from 1-2, I'll be joining in. Thursday, anyone can play, and Friday, Matt fixes it up all pretty. Brilliant!
