Entertainment is Everywhere
The aim of this lens is very simple -- to help you notice funny things right in front of you. Things you may take for granted, that might change your day (just a little) if you noticed them.
There are two ways to do this.
The easiest way is to look at some examples below to help you notice images and words that are so familiar you've probably tuned them out. Then simply let your mind play and see what interesting new takes you might have on the world around you.
The slightly more challenging way is to become more present in every moment. When we turn off our incessantly chattering mind (which is usually replaying some conversation you had, or anticipating another one, or fretting about finances) a beautiful thing happens: NOW. Just now. It's that simple.
Suddenly it's easier to really notice all the things we take for granted, like how "Click to Unsubscribe" is kind of funny if you wear it as a philosophical statement. ;)

Books to Help You Stay Present
The Best of Eckhart Tolle
These books are positively life-changing -- a mix of spirtual views that all point to how we've become prisoners within our own minds and have forgotten the joy of *existing*.
If you can re-learn to live in the now, you will surely find inspiration all around you.

A Funny Example: Slippery When Wet
Most people wouldn't find anything particularly striking about this bright warning, but we did.Ummm...do the fingers seem a little odd to you?
We don't see toes (or even feet!), or hair, or kneecaps, yet we do see all fingers and thumbs. Kind of peculiar, eh?
Noticing this kind of thing is what UbiqWit is all about - so keep your eye out in case something entertaining is just around the corner (right before you go up the stairs).
P.S. You can see some more examples on our blog.
