Monthly goal - visit Ray William Johnson?  Also I thought I would suggest this to the technical changes suggestion when Dan 3.0 launches: micro and macro goals. I mean, daily goals -- sure, if the highest and second highest are "Go skydiving!" or "Go to a theme park!", then it's understandable if Dan isn't going to do both but they would be macro things. I think it'd be cool if Dan did ONE macro thing and like, a certain number of micro things. So one day could be: MACRO:- Treat your girlfriend to a day of awesomenes. MICRO:- Spend an hour with your grandma. MICRO:- Feed bread crumbs to the pigeons. MICRO:- Walk into a clothes store and buy the craziest piece of clothing you can find. |

I think Dan should take his love of pogo to the world. He should teach someone on every continent (excluding Antarctica) how to pogo, leaving him/her with a pogo stick to practice and pass the love on.
This would be a longer-term project, of course.

lets have dan create a daily picture diary. It would be like an ordinary diary, but he only can write about his adventures of the day with pictures!!
he could show us the picture at the end of each video

I think that Dan should propose some sort of legislation to his local congressmen.
I truly don't know what this law would be, but it would be a serious one. Something that deals with this pogo community.
It doesn't need to be an original law, it could be one that has been around for years, but if we all agreed to it (or democratically picked the one law and all who participated in picking a law backed this one, even if they don't particularly agree with it) then we could get a real political movement going all across America.
We don't have a very large community in terms of the U.S. population, but we are widespread, that is our advantage.
It could be as simple as a reform for an existing bill. Possible one reform to education, we know Dan has some disagreements with the current education system.

No, even Antarctica. Little America is down there, just waiting to be taught how to pogo. |

random acts of kindness: okayy so my friend and i did this just to cheer up people we weren't ever going to meet again. we stuck post-it notes around our local shopping centre saying stuff like "you are beautiful; dont ever change for anyone" or "you are a superstar" just anything that we could think of to boost peoples confidence. it is not only something that feels rewarding to yourself but also to the person that recieves the message will feel better. who knows you could even save a life.

I really like the sound of having Dan stay in a super store[Target/WalMart] for 24 hours like Hank Green was supposed to do, but he didn't have a 24 hour store. Oh wow, I love that idea, hehe. I LOVE this idea too XD |

I agree with treehugger, that we should do something that will benefit the world, but we can't rely on Apple, especially this early in the game. Maybe start a little more small scale. Get the public evolved. Start a local recycling program of some sort. Most people don't know that batteries can be recycled, and that if they are not disposed of correctly, the acid can harm the environment. Dan can inspire a battery recycle program at his local library or something. I got a bit a head of myself lol. Yeah that's a really good idea. I said apple because they've been had a bit of bad publicity lately (of what I've heard), and with bp being the environmental devils, Apple may be seen as like a heroic company. It would also give Dan 3.0 a lot of publicity. But yeah... if Apple would go for that, I don't know. I really liked the idea of just community stuff. I'm just throwing this out there, but what about if instead of just doing that in Dan's community but if there are a lot of people on here in certain areas, we do that there too. It's more of a community goal than one for just Dan though. Not sure if that will take off though... |

okay so first off we do need to remember Dan is human and there for lets not kill him with any of our ideas.
also whats with the make Dan go vegan or vegetarian thing.
you wont change a meat eaters mind on eating meat in a day.
if we shocked his system by a month then we would have a grumpy and sick Dan.
do we really want a Dan who cant leave the bathroom.
just a problem i can see with messing with the poor guys diet so drastically.
also uhh lets have him do some more or less sadistic things.
by this i mean "Dan put your head in the toilet and flush"
things along this nature are mean and cruel but if voted to the top once and a while. it would bring people all over just to see the guy who took a plunge. his videos would go viral and there for make higher profit and add to the pogo tribe.
so yes we like Dan and we don't want to hurt him, but extreme discomfort or embarrassment shouldn't kill him.
I've had a swirly before it sucks but is not lethal.
so yeah make Dan do things he would never do with out our push. it will in term "increase his ratings".

When it comes to doing good things for the world, I think Dan should do things other than "raise money for X charity." Volunteering would be the best thing, especially since generally people are obsessed with saving time, it's nice to see people give up their own time for someone else.
One volunteer thing Dan could do is Adopt an Elderly Person. A lot of the people in nursing homes don't get visited very often, so it would be great for Dan to visit at least one of them. Maybe he could even bring an entourage with him and do something really entertaining.
Another thing would be to fix up space for a park and make space for public art. It would bring the community together and improve living conditions.
For the daily goals, Dan should do things that are entertaining but also do some good. For example he could dress up as a superhero and helping people with small tasks or giving out compliments.

Short-term daily goal: Dan goes to a fancy restaurant with his laptop, Danielle goes to a fancy restaurant with her laptop, and an intimate dinner is shared between the two via Skype. Dan can Paypal the cost of the bill to Danielle following dinner. Genius idea! Dude, that would be so cool to see. The people in the restaraunt would be like, "What the?" Awesome idea, you have my vote for helping you get that to the top. |

create a chain of memories using your entire library of videos that invlove you, from when you were born to now. Use important moments in your life and shorten the video montage to about 5 min and feel free to add in personal commentry and / or cool music. Don`t forget to use any old cassete recordings you may and will probably have from ``back in the day`.` it would be both apppealing to your current veiwers (since we are so intrested in your life) and can also serve as intro for new veiwers to catch up and understand what you are doing and who you are.
When i started yo watch it was quite confusing to understand what was going on because of all the videos and tribes and blah and websites and modulators, so it might be a good idea.
Another suggestion would be to update it every month to incorporate the months higlights such as goals achieved etc.

Short-Term Daily Goal: Dan and his girlfriend come up with at least 10 new texting acronyms, that would hopefully one day catch on and be a normal part of our texting lives.
It's just a suggestion, and if you like it, post a reply to this post, or just vote this post up.
Thanks

Dan should go get his palm read...& get a Tarot reading done.
or...Maybe He could even learn to do a basic tarot reading himself.

Practice and instrument for thirty minutes every day. I've learned that after a month, if you really spend all your attention on that one thing for thirty minutes, that quality time adds up and you have a new skill. Dan, I'm sure you learned this to be true with your pogo stick experience. I vote you choose another skill to learn. And maybe another maybe learn a new skill every month for the whole year? |

To me Dan seems like a person who loves using imagination and creativity himself, so i think it would be awesome if he attempted to build his own Go-Kart from raw materials and once completed, must reach a speed of i dont know.... 20 mph? or is that too slow? lol
Anyway i like my idea (but then i would be bias anyway) and i would love to see Dan achieve this, i think it could be entertaining and fun/funny to watch.

I think Dan should create a fictitious language.

Dan should come to Canada!
Or just travel in general and have awesome Pogotribe events. (not creative at all, I know)
I feel like he should go on a road trip and stop at all the super touristy spots in Nebraska.
I hope this doesn't count as manipulating Dan's relationship, but I think he should have to make dinner/ bake cookies/ buy flowers/ do something sweet for his girlfriend once a week or biweekly. :]

For a month goal, what if we have Dan learn a talent and then teach that talent to a group of people that might be underprivileged, or something along the lines of that?
