my heros: Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Mandela
Astonishingly courageous. So strong. So Inspiring.
We can change the world for the better.
RIP Nelson Mandela
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was one of the GREAT men. An anti-apartheid revolutionary and President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
I honour the amazing things he accomplished in one lifetime.
I’m headed back to South Africa, arriving JOHANNESBURG on Jan 16th.
PeaceLoveCar
I’ve not owned a vehicle for most of the last 14 years.
But the PeaceLoveCar is tempting.
Sam Salwei lives in a 28-square-foot pod. It was built in 1988, and formerly the car was known as a Ford Festiva.
Salwei, a founding member of the YogaSlackers group and a GearJunkie contributor, calls his highly-modified vehicle the PeaceLoveCar.
A solar panel on the roof gives power. The seats fold down into a bed. Under the hood is an oven. “We bake burritos in there,” Salwei notes. The back seat has a fridge.
408,841 miles grace the odometer. The Guinness World Record for a Festiva, Salwei says, is 640,000 miles. “I might break it.” …
Thanks Dave.

He talked about his vision of the church, and why he has chosen not to spend much time talking about abortion, gay marriage and contraception.
He explained what he meant by the headline-grabbing remark he made about gay people: “Who am I to judge?” And he said that doubt is essential to finding God. …
minimalist housing
Mashable has a recent post detailing 11 Small Living Spaces.
Of those listed, I’m intrigued by the Looper. A glorified tent / pod.

LIFE via Calvin and Hobbes
On his cartoon blog Zen Pencils, Gavin Aung Than turns inspirational quotes into comic strips.
For his newest strip, he illustrated a quote from Bill Watterson’s 1990 speech at Kenyon College in the style of Calvin and Hobbes, which Than considers “the greatest comic strip of all time.”
The comic strip below “is basically the story of my life,” Than writes, “except I’m a stay-at-home-dad to two dogs.” …
most days happy NOT to have a phone

Some day we’ll find a way not to overuse phones when in the company of other people.
Control our addictions.
