    When Good Things Come In Small Packages

    I saw two interesting articles that were about achieving the same goal:  To downsize using space saving techniques in order to simplify a dwelling.  Yeah, pretty much the opposite of “MTV Cribs”.  These are really smart, effective design examples that remind us that big isn’t always better… and it’s usually way more than what we [...]

    The Meta Watch

    Did you know that Almost 60% of 16-34 year olds use a phone as their primary timepiece?  I haven’t worn a watch since my Mickey Mouse one fell off my wrist into Sydney Harbor when I was 11 years old.  Actually, the only friend I can think of who wears a watch is a guy [...]

    Epically Manly Food

    It feels like Epic Meal Time has been around a lot longer than last October but maybe that’s because it’s so. …well …EPIC!  The show is a ridiculously popular online cooking show that clocks about a million views per episode, with fan-favorites getting as many as two-and-a-half million. If you haven’t seen it (really??) then [...]

    Ethical Butchery

    Now vegetarians would generally dismiss this completely.  Most would say there is no such thing as a “good slaughter”, but ethical meat is a trend that is growing.  With the recent popularity of documentaries that expose some of the horrific practices of the meat industry, it’s no wonder. Larry Althiser is the owner and head [...]

    Smart Water Delivers: Dumb

    Ugh.  I almost didn’t want to write about this because I didn’t want to “spread” it, but I think it’s important to call it out as: FAIL. Basically, smart water has attempted a viral campaign starring Jennifer Aniston that pretty much mocks web culture.  That’s like starting a grassroots campaign in France to abolish the [...]

    When Merging Ideas Really Gives Back

    I LOVE TED!!  This year is just as inspiring and exciting as ever, which always makes it hard for me to decide what to write about!! Well, I’ve barely scratched the surface of all the talks I want to watch but 2008’s TED Prize winning, author Dave Egger’s talk got me so energized I have [...]

    Keeping Up With Digital Natives

    My friend is doing a teaching degree so I forwarded him this infograph.  It kind of follows on from my last blog about kids and their ease with technology… aka “Digital Natives” He’s a “mature” student who has decided to explore teaching after a career in law.  So having already been a college student in [...]

    What’s a “friend” and where is “home”?

    Does friendship require proximity? Can you have a best friend whom you’ve never laid eyes on? Even a decade ago, these two questions would seem much less feasible than today,
