Un-clutter (and Un-rage) with Upcycling
How. can. I. manage. all.. this… CLUTTER?!? If you live in a capitalist society, the gradual accumulation of minimally useful crap might be driving you crazy. For me, closed, orderly systems are satisfying. When everything has a place where it belongs, where it lives happily with its fellows and says, “Ahhh, there you are… what’s … Continue reading »
5 Human-Powered Transportation Devices (think way beyond bikes, skateboards, and rollerblades).
Yea, teleportation would be freaking suh-weeeeet. No more waiting in traffic, at bus stops, airport terminals… you get the idea.

Anyone else catch the color symbolism too? … Continue reading »
Giving up the goods- a non-religious Lent
If I had to religiously affiliate myself I’d call it chicken noodle soup religion. Not because of the heart pouring teenage soul series, but because I’ve taken bits of everything and strewn them together into a stew of ideology. This time of year is dedicated to the traditions of Easter, and that includes Lent. Traditionally … Continue reading »
Travelzoo? Living Social? Groupon? What’s Your Poison?
Everyone seems to have mixed thoughts about the online coupon world. I recently was at my hair dressers and the owner was approached by a young door to door sales lady. She said her rehearsed, extremely leading pitch to him and instead of agreeing to her offer, he quickly showed her the door. I was … Continue reading »
