Is Your Commute Ruining Your Happiness?

May 9th, 2009 · 8 Comments

I thought this Postsecret was very interesting.  I wonder how many people actually like their commutes.  I wonder how improved some lives could be without the commute.  What if you could stop commuting but it meant a couple thousand less per year?  I wonder what trade-offs people would make to be able to quit commuting.

A Man Named Pearl

March 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Pearl Fryar is a very cool, very energetic dude who created a beautiful garden in his yard from discarded plants tossed out by a local nursery.
I recommend sitting down with some hot tea and being prepared to feel as though you are a very lazy slug when you’re all done watching it.  He’s just one [...]

The Fine Art of Copyright

March 18th, 2009 · No Comments

This was a topic we previously discussed on the Cafe.  A friend saw this article and forwarded it.  If Fairey only ran the photo through a digital filter, then yeah, I think it’s more like infringement.  However, if he did this by hand and even with help of digital, I think that it’s valid on [...]

Thanks for the Letter That You Sent

March 10th, 2009 · No Comments
