List of All Topples
A Topple is a collection of dominos that have been set in motion for a specific "Purpose."
Topples come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. Each Topple has its own
story which you will discover when you examine the individual dominos in the topple. Go ahead, poke around!"

| story: |
I'm setting in motion Domino Topple #0000001. The purpose of this topple is to start 1 million more topples in motion. Every domino in this topple has the purpose of spreading the word about domino theory, helping to evolve domino theory by providing feedback, making introductions to people that might be able to help make this topple a success, basically whatever it takes! Imagine 1 million people around the world feeling inspired enough to setup their own topple because they know that one small action can lead to a big impact. |

| Purpose: |
Buy Dinner for a Stranger |
| |

| story: |
Several years ago my wife Terry and I were having dinner with some friends. They told us about a time when someone anonymously bought them dinner and how that had made a big impact on them. A few months later, Terry and I were celebrating our first anniversary over dinner and decided to give it a try. We've continued that tradition every year since (13 yrs.). A few tips:
• tell the wait staff that this is a special occasion so you would really appreciate their assistance in keeping it a secret. Hopefully they'll see the fun in all of it.
• pick someone that you can see without working too hard. I promise you, they will try to figure out who bought them dinner.
• tell the wait staff that they should pass the domino on at the end of their meal. That way the people don't have to be uncomfortable for too long.
• we like to select someone that "feels" right. Part of the fun is selecting the person/couple
• have the bill brought to your table with your normal bill (and don't forget to tip on both checks)

| Purpose: |
Domino Award in Computer Science |
| |
| |
| story: |
The Domino Award is given annually to Computer Science students at the University of Colorado for an outstanding essay honoring the impact that other computer scientists have made on modern society. Essays were judged for their ability to clearly communicate how the honoree’s work set in motion a “series of dominos” that changed the world. The hope is that this award will inspire students to think big, and by using dominos allow us to follow along as they go on to do great things. |

| Purpose: |
Tipover Bono |
| |
| |
| story: |
I'm going to meet with Bono for 1 hour within the next year. Why? Not sure yet. However, I have a feeling the purpose will crystallize shortly. Things just seem to be taking care of themselves lately… There's one thing I know sure: when the Bono domino tips over it's going to fall with several million times the amount of energy of the first domino in the topple! |
