As you may know I’m currently on sabbatical from the games-industry and my company Starbreeze. After having the best job I can imagine for 8 years, I felt I needed a change of scenery and decided to take the money I had managed to put away and burn it on things that makes me feel wiser. You can see some of those things on this site, with small projects of different kinds; some art-projects, some game-projects and some other things that may or may not be good ideas.
The biggest of these projects is one that I haven’t really started on. It’s the project that I’ve been hoping to do for quite some time, and it’s the project that made me create this site in the first place. It’s the Collecting Smiles project.
The idea behind the Collecting Smiles project is to collect different smiles throughout the world. It is supposed to give me a reason to travel and force me to meet people I otherwise wouldn’t meet. In every country I visit, I will take a picture of a smiling person living in that country. I will also collect the smiles of other people traveling and while I don’t know how possible it is, I hope to collect the smile of a person inspiring the people of that country, ideally the president/prime minister. The goal is to collect all smiles in each category from every country in the world.
I just came back from what I guess you could call a dry-run of this project, where I visited Israel, Thailand and China, and I’m starting to realize how hard this will be (surprise!). Ambitions (and pretentious) as this may be, it’s still something I need to try and hopefully things will get rolling soon. Of course, I’ll make heavy use of the internet for this project with the hopes of eventually building a community to help me with the “inspiring-smiles” part. I’ve set up a prototype site for the purpose of the project that can be found here.

I am very unhappy with your site that. Website for ordering color lives color sauna pins etc. I’ve ordered it back almost 10 days ago. You keep telling me there’s an email that has my tracking number for my order I am not happy about this. It does not come through the email and I do not get no response back. I either want my product that I ordered or my money back I’m tired of playing with you all saying you sent the tracking number and you did not you did not send it to my email right resurrect this or correct this right away
Hi Lyle,
Thank you for your comment and very sorry for your inconvenience. We have experienced some delays with the tracking system. It is fixed now and all orders placed up until today have received their tracking number.
A reason for this delay is that we are transitioning to a new online store solution. Please visit colorslive.com next week for more information regarding future orders.
And do not hesitate to contact support@collectingsmiles.com if you have any further questions.
Best,
Johannes, colors team
