By definition, if you want to create something extraordinary you've got to leave the majority. You've got to break free from commonly accepted ideas and practices and go out on a limb. The catch, of course, is that you risk your sanity in the process. Over the past six weeks, teams with different expertises and experiences came up with truly innovative solutions to complex challenges. This collision of technology and the ubiquitous had brilliant results but raised eyebrows in the process.

A Season Highlights montage will confirm crazy behavior and question the sanity of teams, judges, audience and even hosts. But let's take a step further back. Dare 2B Digital, Crazy or Brilliant?

Looking forward to your Season Highlights Montage for Optional Challenge Seven and Dare 2B Digital Feedback.

"The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."

It is said that 88% of people who spend more that two hours each day in front of a computer screen experience some degree of computer vision syndrome (CVS). This would include all of us and a huge percentage of the North American population. Continuous flexing of the eyes' focusing muscles creates fatigue. Glare screen filters and ergonomics help somewhat.

With the increased popularity and use of computers, cell phones, mp3 players, and game devices I forsee a pandemic. Is there a solution in advance of a blind nation?

Audience submissions have been creative, innovative and simply outstanding. The interaction they have inspired has helped to make the game a lively and interactive community. It has engaged families and prompted responses from children, adults, retirees, technies and non-techies.................(you get the picture).

The number of audience entries has been increasing each week, so we thought that in celebration, the number of prizes should increase too.

With thanks to the generosity of Adobe, SunPeaks, and WIZ iQ, we are delighted to announce that this week's challenge will have four audience prizes.

Looking forward to perusing the medicinal melanges.
