One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local, international, in action, and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s — what’s yours?
Chacho Puebla‘s grandmother never gave him advice regarding social media etiquette, but he loves her anyway.
The Madrid-based designer writes that as he gets older, he thinks about the advice he’ll give to his grandchildren.
“My three grandmothers were always giving me sermons instead of tips,” he writes. “‘Be careful with your money,’ ‘Don’t get involved with that girl,’ ‘Save,’ ‘Get a haircut, you look like a hippie,’ and all those classic parent, grandparent comments.'”
He’s hoping his words of wisdom will be a little more relevant.
His latest project — a collaboration with his sister and photographer named Lula — is a series of advice he wishes he’d been given by his grandmother, with his grandmother’s sister as the subject.
See more advice on his website.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
