Happy Birthday to me
How quickly it seems another birthday has come, it seems like just the other day I was petitioning my local politicians to change zoning bylaws to allow for my startup company's expansion.
You wouldn't be able to tell by looking around, all the change that's happened: We still use the old CF lights, still run our high-efficiency washers, recharge our bio-molecular laptops, and capitalize on geo-thermal heat exchangers for climate control.
It's only on the quiet, windless nights…

New laws have allowed for…

Toolbox for changing the world
Although there are many very useful concepts included in the "33 secrets" entry, I believe the most useful would be "innovate on existing platforms", and "what you have is more important than what you lack".
I know this seems like cheating since I've chosen two instead of one, but to me these seem like two facets of the same advice, with the idea of making the best of what you have, or playing the ball from where it lies, to use a western middle-class…

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

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
