Farm Life

How rad would it be to have your own farm? Could you imagine knowing where all your food came from and what went into growing it?  Yeah, hard to imagine but ive been reading about it a bunch lately. Check out The Omnivore’s Dilemma or Deep Economy, both are super insightful and less dry than you would think.  Anyhow, visited a little farm in Pemberton BC to do some strawberry pickin this weekend and got to thinkin…farm life sounds nice.  I think i’m going to put that on my Bucket List.

Documentary on Graffiti Art


A local film school student composed this documentary that exposes a rare perspective on the graffiti scene in Tacoma, featuring evo’s Graphic Designer Pubs. Touches on a lot of aspects of this art form that a lot of people probably don’t think about. Its pretty inspiring to hear these guys talk about how free, unrestricted and believe it or not, LEGAL this art form can be.

Neda Video, Kim Jong Il’s Nuclear pursuits & a Long Monday


I had a long Monday… but im glad to have had a Monday at all. My stresses today consisted of lack of productivity due to sitting in back to back meetings, focusing on eating a little bit healthier than i did this last weekend, making time to hit up the grocery store, getting in a run and maybe finding some time to hang out with my brother… all i could think about is how taxed i am still from the weekend let alone how i will make it thru the rest of the day.  Yup, i made it thru the day, i usually do.  I crawl in to bed next to the warm glow of my Macbook Pro for a bedtime story or two via my New York Times RSS feed, Facebook and Twitter and i came across this video…. now im thinking how amazing my Monday really has been and will continue to be for the next 9mins remaining. Seriously, does anyone know what is going on?? …and why is Kim Jong Il retarded? I see that he is scheming again. What is that guy up to?  I’d like to think that I am somewhat informed on what is going on in the world but i guess i want to understand it all.  I think i need to get a subscription to the newspaper or something, its ridiculous how easy it is to crawl into a bubble these days. Check out this New York Times video on Neda, the girl who was shot in the protests in Tehran.All right, that’s all….i think im going to turn off my alarm clock.  Good night.

Twitter in plain engrish…


Still not sure what the big deal is with Twitter? Whether you are already twittering or are just hopping onto the twattering train my guess is that you’re still trying to figure out where this is all going…not to mention how to explain Twitter to your friends?! This video is a cut dry explanation and after watching i feel a little less out of touch but im sure the question will still remain for some of you, “why would i want someone to know what im doing every second of the day?” I don’t know, but i just spent a good hour+ reading about everything from the the Iran election, the new iPhone Update to Cobra Dogs and i feel even less out of touch now.
