Go Big or Go Home, Redux
Alright, so I've been doing some more thinking about why I like the idea of going big or going home, and I want to qualify it. Specifically, I'd like to address the issue of the World Bank, this game, and my relationship to it as anti-capitalist.
First, if you don't know why I'm skeptical about things the World Bank has its fingers in, I'd recommend you'd get a taste of the reasons people have given the WB hell in the past on Wikipedia,… Continue

My Hero: Voz Latina
I have a Twitter friend who really is my hero.
The reason I chose Voz is threefold. First, she and her boo are homesteading in Maine. They lost their home a little over a year ago, and are starting from scratch in the backwoods. For this, I admire them. She blogs a lot about her projects on Livejournal here. What she does is incredible -- between food-growing, generator-building, and… Continue

I've been thinking about the people I consider heroes for bringing positive change into the world. They're pretty political people. Who are we kidding? I'm a very political person. I'm ferocious. I give no quarter. And I have my skepticism -- though I'm… Continue

Downsizing Detroit: Consolidating Space in the Rust Belt
I grew up in the Detroit area and I now live in Buffalo, NY. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Rust Belt kid, and I love it more than anything else. One of the things you definitely notice in the Rust Belt is that there is all this space. On the one hand, it's really awesome, because in Buffalo we have cheap space for our studios, workshops, and laboratories. On the other hand, resources are spread out and therefore harder to get to.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
