I know it’s an image of an indoor greenhouse. But I think of it more as a place in the city to be around plants and contemplate our place in the world. When you start to realize how diverse and interesting the world is on systematic level, every little plant becomes a miracle.

This video caught my attention because I’m interested in reusing old materials. My focus for this summer is going to be “Making it work with what you have”. I’ve been interested in reusing old barn wood for new projects. I have an old barn in my back yard, I just need to find a project! The old wood just has so much character to it. the tree it was made from grew here in the civil war and maybe earlier. It may take more work to use, but I think we all need to realize that being sustainable is going to take a little bit more work.
This is a video from The Journey. A non-funded documentary project that travels around by bike and shoots little videos about sustainable local environmental projects. I think it’s really exciting that some people aren’t out screaming about how bad the world has gotten, they just decided that if something is going to change then we’re going to have to do it ourselves.

I really like crossover products. Star Wars seems to be the king of those right now. Star Wars crossed with burlesque strip tease, everybody wins.

Maybe someday I’ll get too old to wear skate shoes. I’ve cut back on the styles I wear. I probably won’t be getting those hot pink and black ones again. I just get plain styles and colors. Bit I couldn’t pass these up on Whiskey Militia for $25. GMU colored skate shoes! Even if I only wear them with Mason clothes it’ll be worth it.

Delicious Spicy Pickles
I love pickles. Recently I’ve been indulging more in my addiction to vinegar soaked cucumber slices. I could sit down to watch some tv and eat an entire jar of dill spears. I don’t know if I should be proud of this, but I just love pickles.
I saw this jar in my local pickle isle and I knew that I had to have it. It tastes like pickles soaked in jalapeno juice, which if you don’t like then get the frak off my blog. It’s delicious. when you first bite into it you think to yourself “Man, this is such a waste, it tastes just like a regular pickle” then after a few seconds you start to taste that faint hint of jalapeno and you think… “Now that’s more like it, this is the pickle experience I paid for”. The after taste is ALL jalapeno juice, which is a bit overpowering, but if you eat another one real quick it lessens the pain.. until you run out of pickles and have nothing but your tears to quench the burning.

I don’t know if these have any practical purpose yet. But they are flippin awesome. First they had Big Dog, then I saw Little Dog, now they have PETMAN. Which is a two legged robot that has a human style heel-toe walk and also sports a sweet pair of climbing shoes.
I can totally see a day in the future when we have robots to carry our stuff around. I would keep one in the trunk just so I never have to make a second trip out to the car after going shopping for groceries.
