Steve Jobs: How to live before you die | Video on TED.com

This speech inspired me, so I would like to share this!

Sorry I haven't the time to chat more, with my full time job and all. But hopefully in the near future I will be able to post more.

Thanks for hangin' out with me!

Blue Norwegian Swirl



This swirling light show in the sky over Norway came a day before Obama was slated to go there to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.

This clip has the Hollywood dramatic music in the background but I chose it as it has a few different witness clips of different angles.

I wish I were there to see it with my own eyes! Fantastic stuff.

Guest Speaker On Ancient Water Collection



I am fascinated on how we need to improve on everyday things we take for granted, such as how we collect rain water. I am equally fascinated by how hundreds of years ago they had much better ways of doing these things. We are so used to thinking of ourselves as a fully developed world and that we have the best "proven" techniques. We delude ourselves if we believe we can't develop anymore, as if we know everything already.

We have a slowly diminishing water supply across the world, but it may because we are not utilizing each of our own ability to collect rain from our own roofs. We think we can rely on the companies that supply us the water. Think again. We must all start thinking of self reliance.

If people in the desert can do it, so can we.

Watch and learn!
