Maybe we shouldn't forget what Bertrand Russel...
For the first time in history, it is now possible, owing to the industrial revolution and its byproducts, to create a world where everybody shall have a reasonable chance of happiness. Physical evil can, if we choose, be reduced to very small proportions. It would be possible, by organization and science, to feed and house the whole population of the world, not luxuriously, but sufficiently to...

“Like seeing a friend who has been away for 20 years, only to realise that the things you loved about them haven’t changed, and that being with them still makes you feel warm, happy and joyous. I expected nothing new, but so far have gained something different, but familiar, and am well pleased.” Biophillic
Couldn’t agree more with that review.
It’s fun to...

My thoughts exactly, and I’m also helping out the team with getting their name out to the world. Please check it out, I think with this with this platform people will be able to make the changes they want to see (instead of laying that burden on a distant group or figure).

Device Usage in a Multi-Screen World →
This is a fantastic slide deck for many reasons:
Google puts 99.9% of all presentations out there to shame by making this look extremely fresh and aesthetically pleasing while providing dense, informational content.
This presentation will make you think how well market researchers and the corporate world have nailed your behavior—down to the most frequent sequence of device usage for...

In light of the startling comment by Todd Akin who said rape victims have “ways to shut that whole thing down” during the act of rape that prevent the victims from getting pregnant, this excerpt is from Huffington Post’s “Lies GOP Tells About Women’s Bodies”:
The odds that a woman who is raped will get pregnant are “one in millions and millions and...

WatchI backed this Kickstarter project that will make solar power cheap, affordable, and available to the masses instead of just in the hands of big energy industries. The Solar Pocket Factory could be revolutionary. I highly suggest you check out the project and also back it - in return, I am getting a Solar Pocket Kit that will allow me to construct my own solar panel to use to charge small...

Island Hopping Has Become My Life
It just dawned on me today that not everyone I know who should already know by now actually knows that I am moving to Hawaii at the end of October. Tada, surprise!
I think the only time I’ve ever publicly mentioned this was in a blog post about the meaning of home that I did for Herb & Lace.
So yes, I am leaving Bali on Oct. 24 first to Orange County to gather my belongings there and...

Holy Mount Agung
Originally posted on Herb & Lace:
Before I saw this gorgeous view that made feel so lucky to be alive, it was dark, cold, and 2 AM. I kept thinking to myself then that I should be curled up in my cozy bed and sleeping soundly – what the hell am I doing at the base of Bali’s tallest and holiest mountain? But this is the time of day that all hikers begin their climb up toward the peak to view...

This girl, Natsumi Hayashi, does a really cool series of photographs everyday, called Today’s Levitation. We tried to do some of our own, but she has mastered the art of being graceful and we have not.
