New Years Resolutions
Why do we pick this particular day to make resolutions to ourselves? Who says we can’t change any aspect of our lives any day of the year? Do we really need a reason other than the fact that we want change? Of all the days of the year that we choose to start taking charge of the negative in our lives, we choose the day after the most intoxicated night of the year. We should choose the day...

This scares me. No longer can we protest without the police shutting us down illegally. The use of Police Provocateurs is stealing what little political voice we have left.
The links below contain video evidence of Police Provocateurs being used at the G20 summit in Toronto.

House of Representatives to add two new rules next... →
More thoughtful legislation is what we’ve been asking for and it looks like the GOP controlled house is going to give it to us. This makes me hopeful.

Are You Smarter Than a Plant? →
A fun game of evolution in which you are a plant trying to survive and pass on your genes. I did much better on the farm than I did in the wild.

Buy Nothing Day →
Officially Buy Nothing Day is almost a whole year away. That does not mean we have to shop, spend and splurge every other day of the year to compensate. I challenge everyone to go one day a week without spending a dime. This does not have to be the same day every week. Stay conscious of how much money we spend per day and how most of what we buy aren’t needs they’re wants.

The Meme Time Capsule
What if we were to take a snapshot of our behavioral memes as a human race and leave it in a time capsule for 100 years? I can imagine we will be quite surprised at just how barbaric our everyday lives will seem to our future selves.

All comedians tend to look at our world from a different perspective and find humor but Joe Rogan does it with impeccable style and elegance. I strongly suggest watching the rest of Flying Monkeys in Space as well as other videos of his stand up. Caution, you may learn something in-between bursts of laughter.

How can .999999 equal 1? Strange Logic. →
This is the reason most math instructors love fractions. 1/3 is exactct where as .33333 isn’t. Math tends to gets sloppy once infinity gets involved.

Alan Watts is philosophy at it’s finest.
“No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.” - Alan Watts
“We could say that meditation doesn’t have a reason or doesn’t have a purpose. In this respect it’s unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don’t do it in order to...

Astronomy Picture of the Day →
In my opinion APOD has some of the most beautiful, awe inspiring photos on the Internet. They also have an app for the iPhone. I make it a point to check APOD once a day just to keep my life (as well as any “problems” I may have that given day) in perspective.

I wish I had seen this video when I was in high school. “Everything you tell the police can and will be used against you but cannot be used for you”
